To Italy with children by the sea. To Italy with children: beaches and amusement parks
Spending a holiday in Italy is simply unforgettable. Rich culture and history, stunning nature and long sandy beaches. Do you still doubt anything?
Many tourists deny themselves the pleasure of a vacation just because they have no one to leave their children with at the time of their main vacation. Believe me, Italy will welcome not only adults, but also even the youngest travelers with warmth and love.
Advantages of Italy for children's holidays over other tourist countries:
- Of course, Italy is not a popular Türkiye, where everything is inclusive. But this is aristocratic Europe with healthy mountain air, a lot of ancient attractions and entertainment.
- Holidays in Italy with children are one of the safest. Italians are a very well-mannered nation and are sensitive to both their own and other people's children;
Italy has many gorgeous shady parks, zoos, water parks, theme parks, Luna parks (and the list goes on and on) 
Palace and park complex "Giusti" in Verona
- The favorable summer climate of Italy allows you to relax all three months and even during September at various resorts, depending on the characteristic climatic features of a particular region;
- Italy has as many as 5 seas with iodized air, clean sand, dunes, pebbles, surrounded by steep cliffs or dense forests. Many beaches have a gentle entrance and the sea is shallow. Choose whatever your heart desires.
- Looking for privacy? In Italy you will find many quiet resorts away from major tourist centers, where the indigenous people prefer to relax. At the same time, transport links are excellent, and getting to major cities will not be any problems.
- You can find hotels with Russian-language animation, which is organized quite interestingly in Italy. Moreover, if parents want to go on a long excursion, a small child can be left under the supervision of a nanny.
- Parents in Italy will be just as interested as children - a sea of sunshine, delicious wine, amazing cuisine in coastal restaurants, a lot of exciting excursions, designed equally for both age categories.
Where to relax in Italy?
People go to Italy for a beach holiday in the summer. But more often, late June and early September are chosen for traveling with children - it’s not so hot, the sea is warm, and hotels are slowly lowering their prices. But in Sicily and Sardinia, washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, you can have a great rest in August, where the heat is not felt so much.
There are many resorts in Italy for every taste and it makes no sense, nor is it possible, to cover them all. Therefore, we will stop at one resort on mainland, island Italy and at a resort located on the largest Lake Garda.
Mainland Italy
If we talk about mainland Italy, Russian tourists have recently given preference to the eastern Adriatic coast. The resort city of Rimini is gaining more and more popularity among couples. Why? This is the most significant resort on the Adriatic Sea, where you can find everything your heart desires.
Rimini- a clear example of true Italian hospitality.
In Rimini very fine sand and a shallow bottom, which is ideal for bathing babies. The beaches stretch for as much as 32 km. Most of them are paid, but in exchange for money you get first-class equipment in the form of sun loungers, umbrellas, changing rooms and showers.
Among other things, there are playgrounds right on the beaches where children can release their energy. For older children and their parents, there are volleyball nets and tennis tables (not counting water attractions - catamarans, water skis, bananas, etc.).
Most hotels are located a stone's throw from the beach, which is important for a child who quickly gets tired of long travels. Want to save some money on visiting the beach? Ask the hotel reception for a special discount card.
Not far from Rimini there are three water parks, one of the most enchanting of them is the water park "Aquafan". While the kids are having fun on all sorts of slides and attractions, parents have at their disposal a couple of hours of peace with a glass of a cool cocktail.
A very interesting park to visit in Rimini "Italy in miniature", which features snippets of landmarks and Italian cities as seen by a small child.

Sicily
Sicily is a classic holiday on island Italy. This is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, whose population reaches 5 million. It is impossible not to fall in love with Sicily at first sight. Lush green forests stretch on the northwestern and southeastern coasts of the island, where, in fact, the most modern resorts with sandy beaches are concentrated.
For those who come to Sicily for the first time, experienced tourists, as well as tour operators, are advised to choose the eastern part of the island. These are resorts Catania,
The eastern Sicilian city of Catania is located right at the foot of Mount Etna.

If you want to see the Italian capital, you can take a ferry from Catania to Naples. And from there it’s on to Rome.
The east coast of Sicily is conveniently close to the motorway connecting Catania with Messina and Syracuse. From the Catania-Messina motorway you can go to the northern coast (if you have your own car), where the island's capital, Palermo, is located.
The most grandiose club hotel in the northern region of Sicily - "Citta del mare", where 27 hectares are filled with all kinds of attractions, sports and children's playgrounds, swimming pools, water parks, mini-clubs and even a club for teenagers.
There are many decent resorts on Lake Garda
Geographically, the resort is located between Venice and Milan, and each of its areas delights with completely new landscapes and looks. The most favorite holiday destination for many tourists has become its southern part or the “Olive Riviera”. This name was received due to the abundance of olive groves surrounding it.
Holidays on Garda have a special flavor with an emphasis on fresh mountain air, hiking and horseback riding, and unity with nature. But children will not be bored here at all: in the amusement park "Movieland" on the eastern shore of the lake, young travelers will meet the real Terminator,

There is nothing better for a child than a trip to the sea with his parents. And adults will also be pleased to give pleasure to their baby and relax themselves. It's great if you're planning a trip with the whole family. Now you need to decide where to go to Italy by the sea with a child - the best beaches, which one to choose in 2019?
There are several resort areas in Italy. Some of them are fashionable, prestigious and expensive. Bohemians usually relax there, there are many nightclubs and parties go on all night. Others are quite suitable for a quiet and comfortable family holiday.
Italy on the map:
Riccione and Rimini
The most visited and inexpensive resorts include the cities of Riccione and Rimini. They are located a few kilometers from each other, in the province of Emilia-Romagna. The resorts are located on the Adriatic Sea, the climate is excellent.
When is the season at the resorts? It all depends on the needs of tourists. If you don't like extreme heat, go in June or September - the air temperature is about 25 degrees Celsius, and the water warms up the same. And if you like heat, July and August are suitable - the average air temperature is 29 degrees Celsius. This is a great place for the whole family to relax in the summer.
How to get there?
There are direct flights from Moscow to Rimini: the travel time will be approximately 3.5 hours, the cost of a one-way flight in the summer of 2019 is around 13 thousand rubles. As a rule, hotels provide transfers to both Rimini and Riccione. However, if you want to get there on your own, you can call a taxi.
Where to stay?
A strip of hotels stretches along the entire coast of resort towns. Some of them are located right next to the beaches, others are further away, but in almost any case you can walk to the sea in about 15 minutes.
The main category of hotels at resorts are 3-star establishments. It cannot be said that all of them fully comply with these standards; at these Italian resorts the stars are very “conditional”. Therefore, when choosing a hotel, be sure to indicate all the necessary parameters in the travel agency, and if you are booking accommodation on your own, then carefully look at the photos and read reviews from tourists.
The most budget option near the beach will cost a family of three about 3.5 thousand rubles per day. If you want increased comfort, book a 4-star hotel - about 7 thousand rubles per day for three. Budget tourists usually go to Rimini and Riccione, but the resorts also have luxury hotels, where accommodation will cost three travelers about 12 thousand rubles per day.
Rimini and Riccione are surrounded by a resort area of fifty kilometers of beaches. The sea here is shallow and warm with a very flat bottom, the sand is clean and fine. The entrance to the water is gentle, there are practically no dangerous jellyfish, but you can find small crabs. It should be noted that most beaches are paid, and therefore you will have to pay for sun loungers and umbrellas, unless, of course, you choose a hotel with its own beach. There are also municipal ones, but there are only a couple of them and they are not so clean, but no one will swear for resting “on a towel.”
The beach infrastructure is perfect for families with children. Children's playgrounds, water slides, sports areas and cafes with bars where you can buy refreshing drinks and snacks - you can lie on the beach around the clock. Do you want to have fun? Take a ride on a catamaran, send the kids on water slides. By the way, you can also go diving: in the waters of the Adriatic you will meet fish, turtles, and starfish.
If you are interested in an educational holiday, head to the historical center of Rimini. The old part of the city is rich in architectural and historical monuments:
- Tiberius Bridge. This building is more than 2 thousand years old!
- Place Cavour. On it you can see buildings from different eras - from the Middle Ages to neoclassicism.
- Arch of Augustus. The most famous landmark of the city, built before our era, is the oldest Roman arch in the whole country.
- Tempio Malatestiano. At first glance, incomparable to the temples of Rome, the cathedral will delight art lovers with works by Giotto and Piero della Francesca.
- Rubicon River. Known to all people due to the catchphrase, the river flows in the city to this day; tourists love to take pictures at the sign with the name of the river.
In addition to historical sites and architecture, the surrounding areas of the resorts are full of entertainment for children:
- You should definitely visit the “Italy in Miniature” park. On an area of approximately 100 thousand square meters there are copies of the country's most famous landmarks. In addition, you can also play slot machines and go karting.
- “Fiabilandia” is an amusement park where there are children's discos and many thematic areas: English tales, oriental exotics, African jungles and much more will keep children busy for the whole day.
- Mirabilandia Park is one of the largest in Europe, it is more modern and dynamic, and teenagers will definitely like it.
- Don't forget about water activities - not far from Riccione there is the Aquafan water park.
What to try in Emilia-Romagna? This region is one of the culinary centers of Italy. The cuisine of this place has given the world such famous dishes as Parmesan, Parma ham, and balsamic vinegar.
Rimini and Riccione have a huge number of restaurants and cafes, from the most inexpensive to respectable.
Of course, enjoy pasta and pizza for every taste; drink coffee and tiramisu; and be sure to buy “gelato” for the whole family, as ice cream is called in Italy.
Shopping is best done in Rimini. On the central streets of the city there are many shops where you can buy high-quality Italian shoes or inexpensive fur coats. There are outlets outside the city where you can buy items from past collections. And don’t forget about local souvenirs:
- a bottle of wine;
- products with a marine theme;
- Bolognese sausage.
By the way, Rimini and Riccione are full of travel agencies that offer excursions to cities such as Venice, Rome, Florence and many others. The resorts are popular among Russian-speaking tourists, and therefore there is practically no language barrier here.
Sardinia and Sicily
If you are planning to go on vacation in early autumn, then the best option is this - or Sicily. The best time to vacation in these places is in September or October. In summer it is very hot here and the child will not be comfortable. At the beginning of autumn, the nature on the islands is amazingly beautiful, the weather will delight you with warmth of about 25 degrees, the water is warmed up to 23 degrees.
How to get there?

Sicily can also be reached by air, but with transfers. A one-way flight will cost approximately 13 thousand rubles in 2019.
Where to stay?
The best resort in Italy is on the island of Sardinia, this is the Costa Smeralda resort area. It has the bluest sea on the entire Italian coast and the whitest sand. But, unfortunately, Sardinia is also the most expensive resort in Italy. A family of three can stay on the Emerald Coast for at least 5.5 thousand rubles per day (apart-hotel with its own kitchen and appliances), 8 thousand rubles (three-star hotel with a swimming pool), or 25 thousand rubles (five-star hotel near the beach with all the delights of a luxurious holiday.
Sicily is a little cheaper, although it is also famous for its beauty. The most suitable resorts for families with children are located near Syracuse. A family of three can stay in a simple vacation home for about 4 thousand rubles a day, a three-star hotel will cost around 7 thousand rubles, but the location near the beach and increased comfort will force you to spend about 10 thousand rubles.
What to see and do?
Of course, first of all - a beach holiday! Sardinia has cozy bays, snow-white or pink sand, clear water and stunningly picturesque surroundings. Sicily - beaches with a gentle entrance to the water and golden sand. In Sicily and Sardinia you can go diving and visit spa centers.
If you are tired of a beach holiday and want new experiences, you should definitely explore the local natural beauty and historical places.
Sardinia is mainly rich in what is not created by man. Not far from Alghero there is a stunning cave complex - Neptune's Grotto. The salt lake, stalactites and stalagmites and refreshing coolness will delight those who descend into the grotto.
Visit La Maddalena National Park, where, in addition to a variety of beaches, you can admire rock formations, walk among the greenery, see cute goats, beautiful seagulls and other fauna.
In the city of Cagliari you can also see man-made beauties: an ancient Roman amphitheater, a medieval fortress, temples built from the 13th to 15th centuries.
In Sicily, you should definitely take an excursion to the city of Palermo. Its architecture is interesting due to its mixture of Eastern and Western styles. Gothic, Baroque, Greek, Byzantine, Arabic elements are intertwined in the buildings of Palermo. If you like nature, you can go to Mount Etna. It is active, and therefore the excursion will certainly tickle your nerves, but when else will you admire a real volcano!
As for children's fun, in Sicily you should definitely visit the Etnaland amusement park, where there are water attractions, a cable car, and a zoo. Close to Syracuse, where the best family resorts are located, there is the Arethusa water park. In Sardinia, visit the Park of Emotions and the Laguna di Nora aquarium near Cagliari; there are also water parks on the island.
The culinary traditions of Sardinia are distinguished by their simplicity and yet diversity. Scrambled eggs with cheese, a variety of fish and seafood dishes, and honey pies are some of the traditional dishes. In Sicily, give preference to small family trattorias where they cook according to old recipes: try local pizza with vegetables and anchovies, a variety of ice cream and, of course, wine.
Both Sicily and Sardinia have boutiques, shops and shops. If everything depends on your taste with clothes, shoes, and equipment, then traditional souvenirs can be:
- Sardinia - coral jewelry, hand-embroidered textiles, woolen carpets;
- Sicily - lava souvenirs, ceramics, puppets.
Rome
When choosing for your vacation, you won’t go wrong either, since you can combine excursions around the capital with a vacation at sea. Although the Tyrrhenian Sea is deeper and colder than the Adriatic, it is beautiful - the water is warm and calm, and the bottom is dotted with orange shells. Collecting them will be a great joy for the child.
How to get there?
Getting to Rome from Moscow will not be difficult. There are both direct flights and with transfers. The cost of a one-way air ticket in 2019 will be approximately 9 thousand rubles.
Where to stay?
To go on holiday to Rome, you don’t have to book a tour; it’s most convenient to go to these places on your own. It’s not a problem to rent inexpensive housing here if you worry about it in advance. It is best to stay in small towns such as Ladispoli or Santa Marinella, the popular resort of Terracina.
A family of three can stay in a vacation home, where they can cook their own food and enjoy an almost homely environment, for about 5 thousand rubles per day. A three-star average hotel will cost about 7 thousand rubles per day. Well, a four-star establishment very close to the beach can be booked for about 10 thousand rubles per day.
What to see and do?
Wide sandy golden beaches, clear azure sea, developed infrastructure (sports grounds, diving schools, cafes and restaurants) will make a beach holiday near Rome unforgettable.
However, this option is usually chosen by those who are interested in historical places. There is no point in listing all the attractions of Rome, because you can relax in this city throughout the entire summer and never get bored. Numerous churches, fountains, palaces; the state within the city is the Vatican; an abundance of museums for every taste. Architecture, art, color - all this makes Rome an unforgettable holiday destination, and everyone will find something that interests them most. Those who wish can easily go on an excursion to Naples, admire the ancient city and mountain landscapes.
However, where exactly should you go with children? For example, to the Villa Borghese. The museum exhibition will appeal only to teenagers who are passionate about art, but even the little ones will have fun in the local park: there are attractions, a pond with a boat station, a puppet theater, and a zoo.
Between Rome and Naples is the stunning RAINBOW Magic Land amusement park. In Rome itself and in the surrounding area there are dozens of water parks, as well as the Zoomarine center, where animal shows are held. Rome is the capital of the country, which means there is plenty of entertainment here!
The best food in Rome includes all kinds of pizza, as well as delicious coffee. While walking around the city, you can snack on a panini, and the children will definitely be delighted by the abundance of types of ice cream - after a couple of weeks of rest, you can eat a new variety every day and try them all.
Good souvenirs from Rome are not so much things from large stores, but rather interesting things from small streets: office supplies, old books, and a Pinocchio figurine as a souvenir for the kids.
Wherever you go, a family holiday on the Italian coast will not leave you indifferent and will give you many pleasant impressions that you will discuss for a long time in family evenings. Italy is new experiences every day, cheerful people, bright sun and warm sea - everything you need for a wonderful vacation!
A little more about the best beaches in Italy - in the video:
Hello, dear readers of the blog “Traveling with Children”! When planning my first trip to Europe, I realized that I wanted everything at once. But, after reading reviews from experienced travelers, I made one very important conclusion: Europe should be explored in stages. This means that you need to choose no more than two nearby countries.
Since we plan to receive an invitation to the European space from Germany, a visit to this country is a mandatory point on our itinerary. And we began to think what other corner of Europe is worth seeing on our first independent trip.
And, oddly enough, they came to a quick decision. My husband and I’s desires coincided (and this does not always happen). Italy turned out to be our dream for two. I really love Mediterranean cuisine, and my husband is very much like a temperamental Italian.
And since we are planning a trip with two small children, the next point was to find an answer to the question: where is the best place to relax in Italy with children?? This place should not only be fabulously beautiful, but also interesting and safe for our kids. With good sandy beaches, equipped with playgrounds, various attractions and amusement parks, as well as shopping and the opportunity to go on excursions to other cities in Italy.
Best prices on tours to Italy for the whole family
And this is what I got...
The most popular region in Italy for families with children turned out to be Emilia-Romagna. It includes such resort towns as Riccione, Milano Marittima, Cesenatico, Rimini, Cervia, etc.
Emilia-Romagna, by the way, is one of the richest and most beautiful regions of Italy, located along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. This place is most suitable for a holiday in Italy with children.
Basically, preference is given to Riccione, Rimini, Milano Marittima. The sea is ideal for children. The bottom is shallow, flat and sandy. One downside is that it gets muddy quickly and is not very clean. True, if you swim further away, the sea will be cleaner and the depth will be deeper.
Besides the sandcastles and, of course, swimming, kids should enjoy all the different crabs, shells and shells that live on the shore.
Almost all beaches along the coastline are hotels. They have everything you need for relaxation and entertainment: awnings and sun loungers, changing rooms with showers, even small gyms. For little travelers there are many beautiful and safe playgrounds, trampolines, and slides. Celebrations and fireworks are held periodically. In general, an evening on the beach will be fun not only for adults, but also for children.
However, children's entertainment is just the beginning. The largest number of parks and interesting places are concentrated in the area of Rimini - Riccione - Milano Marittima.
So, let's start in order...
"Mirabilandia"
This amusement park is practically in no way inferior to (Disneyland) and Barcelona. Perhaps a little smaller in size. By the way, in Italy it is considered the best. 37 of the most modern attractions, stunt performances, fireworks, demonstration diving, ice theater and much more await you and your children.
Official site: www.mirabilandia.com
"Atlantica"
Water park located twenty minutes from Milano Marittima. Atlantika's guests are greeted every day by a giant whale. Parents and their children will be able to enjoy the breathtaking water slides and enjoy the artificial waves in the pool.

"Aquafan"
This is another water park. It is located near Riccione and is the largest in Italy. The main highlight of Aquafan is the only extreme river in Europe, where the speed on the descent is more than 70 km/h.

Beach Village
The water park is built in the form of a small village and is located in the Riccione area in the beach area. Here you can not only ride numerous water slides and swim in heated pools, but also exercise under the guidance of experienced instructors. The water park infrastructure includes bars, restaurants, its own private beach, solarium and water transport rental (motorcycles, catamarans, surfboards).
Official site: www.beachvillagericcione.it
In the Rimini-Riccione area, two dolphinariums were built in the second half of the twentieth century. Initially, all work with these mammals was under the supervision of the Italian Navy. Currently, dolphinariums are open to everyone.
I would especially like to mention the dolphinarium " Oltremare", located in Rimini. Each visitor gets the opportunity not only to interact with amazing marine animals and watch breathtaking performances, but also to see something else. For example, the Darwin Pavilion (evolution of flora and fauna) or the Hippocampus Pavilion (exhibition of seahorses). Residents of the urban jungle will definitely enjoy a farm with all kinds of farm animals.

"Fiabilandia"
If your child is under 9 years old, be sure to take him to this park. It is located in the Miramare area and is the Italian version of Disneyland for kids. In the park you will find the villages of the Wild West, Merlin's castle, Pinocchio's doll town and much more. By the way, all attractions, prices and opening hours can be viewed on their website: www.fiabilandia.com.

This is a place for young naturalists and lovers of outlandish representatives of our fauna and fauna. The artificial microclimate is home to many butterflies from all over the world (mainly from South America and southern Africa), as well as various species of insects, poisonous frogs and carnivorous plants.

"Italy in Miniatura"
Every child dreams of becoming big. In this park your children will feel like giants. And you can go around the whole of Italy in half an hour and see all the sights (reduced by five times). The park is located in Rimini and has more than 270 architectural monuments. This is not just little Italy, these are entire cities with moving trains, ships, working fountains, etc.
Official site: www.italiainminiatura.com
There are several other places in Italy where you can go with children. I wrote about them in the article about and in the article ““. But, in my opinion, for the first time it is best to go to the Rimini – Riccione – Milano Marittima area.
Staying in Rimini - Riccione - Milano Marittima, the whole family can visit Venice and Florence (distance about 300 km), as well as San Marino (25 km) and Ravenna (40 km).
- a great time for the whole family. Traveling with children is not always easy. Although this event can also be wonderful. Especially if you can spend a holiday at sea in Italy and at a low cost. Summer is approaching, and with it comes the desire to relax and disconnect from everything!
