Family Guide
kids in Venice
This is a guide for families, written by a local family who knows all the best tips for enjoying Venice. Our own experience travelling has taught us that many things a small family need are not often covered in the standard travel guides, like local playgrounds, family friendly restaurants, and where to pee! We know that the thought of dragging a pram up and down the Venice bridges can be daunting and that at the end of the day most parents would love to sit down in the sun with a large glass of prosecco and watch their kids run around a square or playground with the local Italian kids. We can help you with that and everything else a family needs! So get ready to fall in love with this wonderful city.
Tales from the lagoon, our favourite days out, and answers to all the questions that tiny tourists ask about Venice.
Practical information: using waterbuses, when to come, where to stay, safety tips, using prams, and even where to pee!
Parks, beaches, museums and activities. Even playing in the “campo” with the local Venetian children!
Food that the kids will love, local cuisine for all the family, aperitvo time, & tips on ordering in restaurants.
Reviews of our favourite cafés, restaurants, bars, pizzeria, bacari & cicchetteria (and their bathrooms!)
A selection of craft and toyshops, tasteful gift shops bookshops, delis, & the wonderful Venetian street markets.
