Family Vacations in Rome

by Sarah Dudleymore

Rome is a city where you can pretty much spend much of your time on foot and walking has never been more exciting!. Wondering through Rome’s old historical center is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being in Rome.

Explore the magnificent buildings and their architecture, take in the street life, visit hundreds of churches as you stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets, go window shopping, and walk into any caf?-bar for that taste of capuccino flavor. Our advise is to start early in the moring and get ready for a long walk with a pair of comfortable shoes.

The most important sites in Rome can be all easily reached in a few hours walking.
Spring or late fall is for sure the best time to visit the city, especially if you are coming with your children to Rome, the weather will be just perfect.

Italians love to have children around and be sure that your children will be made very welcome everywhere you go. Children are warmly welcome in Pizzerias and trattorias where high chairs are often available for toddles and babies.

Most of these places don’t rule out the fact that children eat only half-portions or share meals. The most amusing pizzerias for kids are the old fashioned ones. Here they can watch the chefs pound, stretch, and flip the though in the air which is something different they will always remember!

The nightlife of Rome has never been as diverse and exciting as it is today. In recent years, the number of bars and clubs have increased to cater for a more demanding clientele.

In Testaccio area you will easily find all the best tastes for all budgets and a wide variety of places. Another equally popular activity is to simply relax with friends and enjoy a good bottle of wine in the so-called “enoteche” (wine bars)located in any of the historic center’s beautiful squares.

Another particular excitement attached to entertainment in Rome is Jazz, Rock, Folk, South American and world music which are sure to be found in many venues scattered around the city.

In recent years, many new Italian bands have grown out into the spotlight and are worth seeing alongside with other international stars.

Summer is the best season for entartainment especially for the many open-air rock, jazz and world music festivals. “Ippodromo delle Capannelle” has become the most popular place for events in June-July. African and World music is not forgotten and in summer there’s an excellent festival taking place in Villa Ada.

Rome is scattered with popular, small local food markets and several intriguing markets near the centre. The famous flea market in Trastevere and the famous vegetable/flower market in Campo dei Fiori.

Roman markets offer a lively feel of entertainment. During the Christmas and Epiphany holidays, many stand owners present their goods in a variety of handicrafts, games, toys, and clothes. A perfect opportunity to stock up on Italian specialties.

No doubt that Rome is an excellent choice for group and family vacation!
