Traveling with children is a balancing act that is both challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. We are all concerned about the challenge to hold little people’s attention and to engage older children and teens.You want them to get a sense of place and to absorb as much of the local history, culture, and art heritage as possible. So while your kids are in Rome help them to savor where they are and do things that are special to that Eternal City.
That’s where this list can help. Here, you will find places to go and things to do that are uniquely Italian and Roman and that highlight Rome’s unique place in history, but will grab kids’ attention. And for good measure, there are other activities that are just plain fun. Who doesn’t like sitting on steps eating ice-cream-especially when it’s among the world’s best?
Plan your family travels with our list of the top things to do with kids in Rome.
To see the actual Roman road Appia Antica, we leave the ancient city walls where you’ll see the huge smooth paving stones (basoli) on the road, shady trees and fields. The road was built in a remarkably straight line, wide enough for two carriages. As you walk along, you’ll come across bits of crumbly tombs and funerary monuments – just imagine the Appian Way in its heyday, the “queen of roads,” flanked with tombs in all shapes and sizes, as well as elegant villas, parks and gardens.
