Venice – Gondola Ride & Natural History Museum
“Venice is a magical place for kids, with its winding canals, charming bridges, and boats everywhere you look. I recommend starting your day with a short gondola ride. It’s a fun and unique way for children to see the city from the water. After that, head to the Natural History Museum, where interactive exhibits bring dinosaurs, fossils, and sea creatures to life, making it a hit with young explorers. To keep things simple and enjoyable, I suggest staying at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice. It’s a great choice for families, with spacious rooms, a rooftop pool, and stunning views of the city.”

Verona – Roman Arena & Giardino Giusti
“Verona brings history to life in the most exciting way. I recommend starting with a visit to the Roman Arena, where kids can let their imaginations run wild, picturing gladiators and grand performances in this incredible amphitheater. Afterward, I suggest heading to Giardino Giusti, a stunning Renaissance garden with winding paths and a playful hedge maze that’s always a hit with children. To end the day, enjoy a relaxed family meal in the charming historic center before heading back to the Due Torri Hotel, which combines comfort, elegance, and plenty of space for families.”

Bolzano – Cable Car Ride & Runkelstein Castle
“Bolzano is the perfect spot for a mountain adventure. I recommend starting with the Renon cable car ride—it’s an exciting experience with breathtaking views that both kids and adults will love. Once you’re at the top, you’ll find easy trails to explore and the fascinating Earth Pyramids, which are always a hit. Back in Bolzano, I suggest a visit to Runkelstein Castle, where the medieval frescoes bring tales of knights and legends to life in a way that captivates the whole family. For a comfortable and family-friendly stay, the Parkhotel Laurin is a great choice, offering Art Nouveau charm and a lovely garden where kids can relax and play.”
