4 days in rome with kids

Traveling with children is a balancing act that is both challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. On one hand, it's a challenge to hold little people's attention and to engage older children and teens.

On the other, you want them to get a sense of place and to absorb as much of the local history, culture, and art heritage as possible.

It's tempting to look for playgrounds, familiar fast food logos, and things that are just like home.

But your kids are in Rome, so help them savor where they are and do things that are special to that Eternal City.

That's where this list can help.
