Simply travelling with children is always an experience in itself, primarily because handling children, their tantrums, and their moods on a tour can be difficult work. Here is a list of things to do and sights to see in Rome keeping in mind junior travellers and their needs.

To begin with, for children, a visit to the Colosseum will be an experience of a lifetime. Though climbing to the top floors and then to the underground chambers is a little arduous, the breath taking magnificence of the ancient amphitheatre will surely instil a sense of awe and wonderment in both adults and children alike.

Hiring a guide who can share exciting gladiator stories will enliven your experience of the Colosseum. Be sure to bring walking shoes and summer caps! Tours of the Colosseum can be a little taxing but a rewarding experience all in all.

In tandem with the Colosseum, one can spend time at the Roman Forum and learn about the life of the ancient Romans. From there, head to the Palatine Hill which has a breath-taking view of the city.

Next on your itinerary, you can schedule a visit to the Trevi Fountain, which children are sure to enjoy. Legend has it, throwing a coin into the waters of the fountain – using your right hand and throwing over your left shoulder – guarantees you will one day return to the Eternal City.

That being said, due to new security measures, access to the fountain has been somewhat limited. Nowadays only children are allowed to go right up to the water’s edge – making the experience, and the photos, extra special for your young travellers. Special Offers on Vatican Trevi Fountain tour gives you great access to the monument.

There are numerous options for lunch. Eat out at the famous and bustling Campo de Fiori marketplace. Or, sign up for a pasta cooking class with top chefs and learn how to prepare traditional pasta dishes. The pasta cooking class is a fun-filled experience.

Don’t miss a quick visit to the awe-inspiring Pantheon or to the inevitable St Peter’s Basilica. The church is very crowded on most days so, although the climb would be an exciting experience for children it should be said that the long lines to get in could be a hassle.
