What are specific recommendations/suggestions for a young family of four in Italy??
We are a family of four from the States. Our kids are 5 and 8. We are in the early phase of planning a trip to Italy for Christmas 2024. Would love to hear about specific experiences and suggestions. Cities we are considering are Rome, Florence, maybe Venice, and maybe skiing in the Dolomites. Trip length would be from December 20 to January 4.
*We spent two weeks in Paris for Christmas 2022. Even though the kids were 5 and 8, they were excellent travelers. We enjoyed magical walks around the city, time in museums, plenty of tasty meals and enjoyed the holiday decorations/markets. One reason we loved it so much is we spent plenty of time in Paris. Rather than trying to travel to nearby towns/sites, we really got to settle in to the city. My wife and I have had great trips to Italy, and want to introduce it to our kiddos.
**Winter weather and length of day are not a problem. We are used to cold and rainy winter days and short days are fine.
Thanks!!
