Rome, Italy
Rome may boo-hooed on family travel forums but there is much to Italy’s capital that captivates kids. Tour the Coliseum, Trajan’s Market and Roman Forum. Visit the Vatican. Discover Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori and the Pantheon. Take the kids on a macabre adventure and explore the catacombs. In Rome, history is made real! Yet as with all good things too much is often bad. Alternate history and culture with adventure and movement and break your days into child-sized slices. Do your research in advance and feed the kids with interesting tidbits at each monument and museum. Buy a children’s guidebook and let the kids play tour leader. Take part in children’s programs at Rome museums and view art while the tykes learn and play. The City of Seven Hills is more child-friendly than you might think and a trip to Rome is a great way to learn.

Rome reviews
One of our favorite citiesSubmitted on 26 July 2008 by snowedunder from Monza, Italy
Visiting grandparents is always fun. When they live in Rome it is extra special. There is so much to see and do and there's great gelato too! Here are a few of my 9-year-old daughter's suggestions: Giolitti - Via Uffici del Vicario, 40 - is the place to go for gelato. The Colosseum is my favorite Ancient Roman site. Romulus and Remus is my favorite legend. Touring St. Peter's is interesting, seeing the Pope is one step better. It's like seeing the President. The Capitoline Museum has so much stuff it's confusing. I like the Museo Nazionale Romano more. The Market of Trajan is better than the Roman Forum because there ...

But skip the museum, it's boring. If you're traveling at Christmas don't miss the market in Piazza Navona. It's a Roman tradition. Was this review helpful?
