Rome with Kids: The Best Family Itinerary

Rome is brilliant for families, from gladiator schools and the Colosseum to golf-cart rides and pizza-making. Here is how to spend an unforgettable family trip — with the best-rated kid-friendly tours and tickets to book.

At a glance

  1. 1Gladiator school session
  2. 2Kid-friendly Colosseum tour
  3. 3Golf-cart ride with gelato
  4. 4Pizza-making class

Morning: be a gladiator

Start with a gladiator-school session, where kids learn to fight like Romans, then a family-friendly Colosseum and ancient Rome tour told as stories rather than dates keeps young visitors engaged.

Afternoon: see the city the fun way

A golf-cart highlights tour glides past the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon with gelato stops along the way — far easier than walking for little legs — or a treasure hunt through the historic centre.

Evening: make your own pizza
