 Venice Kids AttractionsWith such a rich and diverse cultural history, many would think
that Venice would be a dull holiday destination for kids. But on
the contrary, this beautiful canal-lined city offers its younger
visitors plenty to see and do. Obviously a ride on one of the famed gondolas will be a
memorable experience for children of all ages, and highlights are
guaranteed to include spotting the fire fighters'' boat, the
ambulance boat and many more. While parents are admiring the
architecture in St Mark''s Square, be sure the kids have enough
breadcrumbs to feed the hundreds of pigeons this square is known
for. Kids will also enjoy the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, as there
is lots of space to run around outside, and Parco delle Rimembranze
is probably the best-suited park for children in Venice and a great
place to head for a picnic or a stroll. For outdoorsy families, a
hike or walk in the Po Delta Natural Park is a must. On rainy days, visit some of the museums this historic city has
to offer, such as the Naval Museum or the Museum of Natural
History. A trip to the nearby island of Murano is also a must,
where children will be mesmerised by the glass-blowers and their
incredible creations. |
