Are you thinking of taking a family trip to Italy?
In this article we’ll give you five useful tips for planning a family trip to Italy with Dragonfly Tours so that you and your loved ones can enjoy a journey of discovery and wonder for those of all ages.
What is the Best Time for a Family Trip?
Whoever is planning a holiday in Italy will want to find out about the best time of year to spend a vacation accompanied by the ideal climate. The Belpaese in terms of weather conditions is usually favorable for its tourists, but we advise you to book your family trip to Italy in June, and to book it early .Why June? Simple, because both the sea and the mountains are at their best at this time of year. The beaches with their crystal clear waters are not yet crowded, and the mountain climate is sunny and warm for a wide range of outdoor activities.
What are the Best Destinations for Families?
In Italy you are spoiled for choice because many places and activities are designed for adults to relax and for children to have fun. Combining business with pleasure is what we at Dragonfly Tours try to offer on our tours.

Rafting in the San Nicolò dam a few hundred meters from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, from where you can observe the most beautiful spots in the city; an interactive experience where you become the protagonists of Milan for a day, discovering the secrets that are hidden in the lost pages of the Codex Atlanticus by Leonardo da Vinci. A specialized educational guide will take your children into the world of the past, and through games and fun, the little ones will learn something more about the places you will visit.

Visit Museums for Children
Museums can be a wonderful source of entertainment for children, and in Italy there are many designed for kids to learn while playing. Here’s a short list of some of those preferred by families: the Città della Scienza in Bagnoli (Naples); Explora, the Children’s Museum and Technotown where the first LEGO Education Innovation Studio of central Italy is located, both in Rome; the Peggy Guggheneim Collection in Venice, with its interactive section for children; the Children’s Museum at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. These are just a few names to show you that even for young people art can turn into an exciting activity to enjoy with mom and dad.
Accumulate Airline Miles
Traveling with children is often convenient for parents too. Some airlines double the frequent flier miles of parents who fly with the whole family, or give bonuses to children under 10 years of age in the form of very advantageous rates and free baggage. Don’t hesitate, visit the Dragonfly Tours website and contact us and we will advise you on the best destination to make both you and your family happy.
