Emilia Romagna

This region is considered the most popular and widespread among Russian tourists and the best place in Italy, where the largest number of amusement parks for children and adults are concentrated. The region, washed by the clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, occupies the northeastern part of Italy.

Rimini

Many travel agencies can advise for holidays with children, the most democratic and largest resort in the province of Emilia Romagna is the city of Rimini, the resort area of ​​which stretches for 20 km along the coast.

We will only note that in Rimini the sea is not as clean as in the above resorts, and the beach is too crowded, and the contingent of vacationers is very different.
But a visit to Rimini is definitely worth it, as the largest dolphinarium is located here, located in the Marina Centro area, near the Grand Hotel.

Note to the female gender: do not forget that the best!

And besides all the above amusement parks in Emilia Romagna, the following deserve special attention in Rimini:

Fiabilandia

This the oldest theme park on the entire Adriatic coast of Italy, aimed at families with children aged 7-9 years, is located in the vicinity of Rimini, on the shores of Lake Bernardo.

About 30 attractions, a doll museum, an eastern labyrinth, and dancing fountains have been built here for entertainment. In the children's park you can see a pirate galleon, stylized villages of the American Wild West, and also visit the fairy tale of Pinocchio, who, as you know, comes from Italy.

On the territory of the park rises the castle of the wizard Merlin and the “Lake of Dreams”.

Only here is a unique opportunity to crawl through an apple with a caterpillar, fly like Superman and walk through the small jungle of Exotaria.

When the heat of the day becomes unbearable, you can safely swim in the sea of ​​Frogs, and then drink cold drinks and even dine in the shade of baobabs and palm trees.

In the evening, boarding the Mississippi steamship, you can admire the breathtaking spectacle of dancing fountains on the water and show your dancing skills at the Kakkadisko children's disco, where entry to adults is strictly prohibited.

The park is open to visitors: April-mid-October 10:00-18:30.

Entrance ticket prices:

• 23€ for adults,
• 20€ for seniors over 65 years old,
• 16€ for children over 3 years old and height from 100 to 130 cm,
• free for children under 3 years old and not taller than 100 cm.

Italy in miniature

This theme park is the oldest of its kind in Italy. and is visited annually by over 500 thousand tourists.

On the territory of the park with an area of ​​85 thousand square meters, all cities and the main architectural monuments of the Italian “boot”, made in miniature from 1:25 to 1:50. In total, the park has over 270 monuments of Italian and European art.

From a special monorail train running around the territory you can look at all the exhibits of the park on a pocket scale.

The park's many attractions are designed for children of all ages.

Various entertainment programs are organized daily. In the park you can admire the exhibition “Venice in Miniature”, which is represented by 119 palaces of the “city on the water”.

These palaces are only 5 times smaller than their originals. Here you can take a ride along the Grand Canal in boats on real water.

On the theatrical stage of Piazza della Italia, a reconstruction of Florence's Piazza di Holy Cross, performances in national costumes are regularly held.

The park is open to visitors: year-round 9:00-17:30 (winter season) and 9:00-24:00 (summer season).
Entrance fees(summer season): 22€ – for adults, 16€ – for children.

Cervia

Cervia can be considered another resort worthy of attention, but this city is very loved by Italian families with children themselves, so there will not be as many offers for Russian-speaking tourists as we would like.

It is also worth keeping in mind that from August 15, when all Italy begins to celebrate one of its favorite holidays - Ferragosto, every resident of Italy strives to take a vacation for at least a couple of days and go to the sea to enjoy dolce vita.

Therefore, this season there are even fewer offers and you need to book tours to this particular resort in early spring.

Cost of tours to Cervia

• Tour on 14n. in Cervia for two adults and one child (8-12 years old) with departure from Moscow and accommodation at the Ambasciatori Terme 3* hotel with BB meals will cost from 3070 €,
• in Grand Hotel of Cervia 4* with a child 8-12 years old and HB meals – from 4065 €,
• in Universal 4* with a child 7-11 years old and HB meals - from 4360 €.

In addition to the Emilia Romagna region we can recommend the Venetian Riviera, where the respectable family holiday resort of Lignano is located with its golden beach, clean and safe sea and numerous amusement parks.
Every year for many years Lignano receives the highest award for the cleanliness and amenities of the beach - the EU Blue Flag. Nearby there is a children's amusement park "Guliver".

Whatever choice you make, a holiday in delightful Italy will give you a sea of ​​positive emotions and only the warmest memories for the rest of your life.
And who knows, maybe your children will want to return with their children to the land of incessant fun and eternal summer...

This is a completely feasible plan: I would recommend the first week on the beach, the second - renting cars from a network company with the possibility of returning them in another city, and the third - the beach again with ordering a transfer to the airport. You will find useful information about traveling around Italy by car on the pages of the portal. I advise you to pay attention to the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Now about the resorts of Italy. The Adriatic might look something like this:

Flight either to (inexpensive option with a large number of charters) or arrival to Venice, and return, for example, to Rome. Other options are also possible.

Then (to a first approximation) the following program is possible:

First week: a resort in the vicinity of Venice: Lido di Jesolo, Bibione or Lignano Sabbiadoro, but in no case Grado - there is a muddy bottom. You can go on the following excursions: Venice, Verona, Gardaland. But there is one thing: all of the listed resorts are crowded. If you want a more relaxing holiday and small resorts, you need to go south of Venice.

Second week: 3-4 days on the road, stops in Pesaro, Cesenatico or Riccione. In addition, I advise you to visit Mirabilandia. Another plus is that these resorts have great shopping. In Riccione there is a street of Ceccarini boutiques, as well as various wholesale warehouses. There are many agents, they will be happy to take you shopping. Excursions include: the historical center of Pesaro, San Marino (40 minutes from Rimini), the Gradara fortress, the city of Urbino.

The Numana resort, located about 30 km south of Ancona, is very interesting - it is not represented on the Russian market. There is a clear sea and very coarse sand, something like fine gravel, a steep descent, sometimes there is a big wave - the children like it. Not far from the resort are the Frasassi grottoes.

Third week:

Mothers with children can spend time in Vieste - this is the Gargano Peninsula - a national park. There is a nice clean sea here. The downside is that it's a long way back. This is if the Adriatic.

Choosing a place for a family vacation, especially if you have small children, is always more difficult. The flight should not be too tiring, the food should be tasty and familiar, the sea should be warm and clean, and the shore should be a little sandy. In addition, I want adults not to get bored - there is something to see and buy. Where can I find your place? Of course, in Italy!

A chain of resort towns stretches along the Adriatic coast: Riccione, Rimini, Cesenatico, Milano Marittima, Cervia, etc., which belong to one of the most beautiful and richest regions Italy Emilia Romagna. All these cities are dedicated to tourists and recreation, so they fully “come to life” only in the spring, when vacation time begins and people are drawn to the sea.

One of the favorite resorts of native Italians, where families with children mainly relax, is Cervia. The place has its own special look. This very cozy small town is surrounded by Mediterranean pine trees, which cover the entire adjacent territory. Cervia is often called a park city because the air here is amazing (clean and fragrant), and in the shade of the trees you can always hide from the hot sun.

Beach holidays in Italy

The clean and gentle sea, with a sandy shore and a gently sloping bottom, makes Cervia an ideal place for families with children. There are a lot of comfortable hotels in the city, and each of them has its own, fully equipped beach. Basically, all hotels are located near the sea, so choosing the right one will not be difficult. The maximum time you can spend on the road to the beach is 10 minutes on foot. The beaches have all the conditions for a comfortable stay: awnings and sun loungers, showers and changing rooms, playgrounds with swings, toys and trampolines, playgrounds where you can play basketball, sand volleyball or bocce ball, and many small cafes that are located next to by sea. The city is home to the Terme di Cervia Thermal Center, which is famous in Europe. The therapeutic treatments carried out here are based on the use of sea water and the effectiveness of the muddy mud from the nearby salt pans, which have strong healing properties.

The beaches of Cervia and Milano Marittima stretch for 10 km and have hundreds of playgrounds and sports areas.

If you go in the direction from the sea, you will find yourself in the historical center of the city. The main street is lined with shops and boutiques. On weekends, interesting fairs are held in the central square, where residents of nearby towns in the region bring handicrafts and various antiques. Here you can find handmade jewelry, crystal tableware and porcelain figurines, cutlery and home accessories, old records, paintings and retro postcards.

Just a 20-30 minute walk and you will find yourself in the beautiful city of Milano Marittima, which is separated from Cervia by a water canal. This is one of the most respectable and sophisticated resorts in Italy. The famous picturesque city inside a pine forest with luxury villas and hotels. In May, florist designers from various Italian cities come here to create bright flower beds and floral ensembles that are unique in their beauty, so the city is buried in flowers and greenery.

In the evening, the whole family can ride around Cervia on a rented velomobile. It is propelled in the same way as a bicycle and seats up to five people, including children. A funny carriage will help you get around the whole city and get used to it faster.

After seven in the evening, numerous restaurants in Cervia begin to fill up. Italians love to have dinner late, and always with the whole family. At the table, as a rule, you can see three or even four generations: a young couple with two kids, their parents and grandparents. They all immediately begin to talk animatedly, laugh and joke, telling each other some stories, and gradually you, too, begin to embrace the same cheerful and cheerful mood that reigns around.

By the way, you and your children will probably have no problems choosing dishes. The menu always has a huge selection of fresh, often hand-made, home-made pasta with all kinds of sauces. Dishes of pork, beef and lamb cooked on charcoal, as well as sausages and cheeses of various types. Of course, all restaurants serve dozens of types of pizza, which all children love. For the most conservative kids there is a win-win option: everyone’s favorite “Margherita” and the most delicious Italian ice cream in the world. And adults should definitely try the delicious seafood soup with fresh shrimp, mussels and several varieties of fish, as well as the traditional flatbread - “piadina”, which is prepared in Emilia Romagna from flour mixed with milk, combined with soft cheese or ham.

Helpful information
If you know at least a little English and are not afraid of an unfamiliar road (by the way, there is nothing to be afraid of), then your vacation will be much more interesting if you rent a car. To do this, you will need an international driving license, and you can also take a navigator with you by uploading a map of Italy. You can book a car by going to the website of a well-known rental network (Avis, Rent-a-Car, Europcar, Hertz), in this case the car will be waiting for you near the Airport, or already on site, in the city where your hotel is located.

In the evening, dancing begins in open cafes. This is a special spectacle not to be missed, so be sure to stick around and watch the Italians dance. Moreover, the best dancers here are not young people, but those who are already over 50. Fit gentlemen and respectable ladies dance the mamba, rumba and cha-cha-cha in such a way that looking at them, your heart skips a beat.

Amusement parks

"Mirabilandia"

The coastal area has the largest number of parks that are designed for parents with children. One of the best amusement parks in Italy, Mirabilandia, was built 5 km from Milano Marittima. The park is considered the largest in Europe after Disneyland Paris and Barcelona Port Aventura. There are 37 most modern attractions on the territory of Mirabilandia. There are roller coasters, a circus, and a 3D cinema. Boys will especially enjoy car stunt performances, as well as laser shows, fireworks and diving demonstrations, while girls will enjoy ice theater performances. The latest innovations of the park are the attractions "Maya" and "Kata Remote", which only the most courageous dare to try.

"Atlantic"

Twenty minutes from Milano Marittima there is the Atlantic Water Park with a giant whale that welcomes all visitors. The park has artificial wave pools and many water slides that children love so much.

Be sure to visit Casa Delle Farfalle with children, which is located in Milano Marittima. It maintains a climate suitable to the natural habitat of many butterflies and dozens of other insect and bird species. Butterflies of a wide variety of colors and sizes were brought mainly from the south of America and South Africa. In addition to them, here you can find interesting insects, poisonous frogs from South America, aquariums with fish that catch insects, expelling them with a stream of water over a meter, and predatory plants.

"Italy in miniature"

There are similar parks in every country, and Italy is, of course, no exception. But the oldest of them was built near Rimini. The whole of Italy is reproduced here with more than 270 architectural landmarks. It’s worth visiting a park like this at least once. An unforgettable sight will open before you with moving miniature trains, ships, airplanes, gardens, lakes and mountains. Each miniature is made by hand, with the smallest details.

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.

Achi-Castello,

Small, quiet resort "Aci Castello"

Aciriale, Giardini Naxos, Taormina towards the southeast and Syracuse towards the northeast.

In Catania, the tourist beach area “La Playa” is notable. Crystal clear sea, hotels of any star rating with spacious gardens and terraces. There is a huge national park just a few hours away "Etna".

Catania has its own airport, Fontanarossa. Charter flights from Samara, Moscow and St. Petersburg fly here from Windjet.

In Taormina You can stay with children in one of the cozy hotels located near the picturesque bay "Mazzaro". These stunning places are located directly opposite the island of Isola Bella. Taormina - palm trees and orange groves, virgin nature and giant hills.

Cozy and quiet bay "Mazzaro"

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,

Have fun at the CanevaWorld AquaParadise water park and plunge into the world of the jungle at the Parco Natura Viva safari park.

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 neighboring 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. Maybe 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.

"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).

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.

"Casa Delle Farfalle" (House of Butterflies)

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.

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).
