1.Friendly atmosphere and hospitality
Italians are known for their friendliness and warm hospitality. The locals often welcome families with open arms and children are always welcome. Restaurants, hotels and other facilities are often well equipped for families, making it easy to stay with young children. Whether you stay in hotels, campsites or villas, there is almost always a playground, swimming pool and more.
2. A diverse range of activities
Italy offers a wide range of activities that are ideal for families. From walks around historic cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice, or the lesser known to relaxing on the beaches of the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, which often stretch for miles. The beaches are clean, often boasting the Blue Flag (guaranteeing the cleanliness of the water and the cleanliness of the beach itself).and some with the Green Flag, where, in addition to the usual cleanliness requirements, the beach must also meet other criteria: it must be sandy and wide enough, with a gradual entry into the water, lifeguard supervision and the first assistance, larger umbrella spacing, restaurants/pizzerias within easy reach, ice cream and a playground.
For families looking for adventure, mountain trips in the Alps or Dolomites are available.
3. Amusement parks and attractions
Italy has many amusement parks that are a great option for families. Some of the most popular include Gardaland, one of the largest theme parks in Europe, and Aquasplash in Lignano Sabbiadoro, which offers a variety of water rides. Another great choice is the Mirabilandia theme park, located near Ravenna. Oh, and be sure to visit Caribe Bay in Jesolo.
4. Culture and education
Italy is rich in cultural and historical sites that can be not only fun but also educational for children. A visit to the Colosseum in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Pompeii is a great way to introduce children to the history and culture of Europe.
5. Delicious cuisine
Italian cuisine is popular all over the world and is ideal for children. Pizza, pasta, gelato (Italian ice cream) - these are all dishes that children love. In addition, many restaurants are family-oriented and offer special menus for children. But you'll also find your own if you love seafood. And we definitely recommend trying the local desserts, depending on where you are.
6. Safety and accessibility
Italy is considered a safe country for travel and has a well-developed infrastructure. It is very accessible from the Czech Republic by car or bus, with the most popular resorts such as Caorle, Bibione, Lignano, Jesolo all within 8-10 hours by car.
In addition, health care in Italy is of a high standard, which brings peace of mind to parents.
