Rome is the kingdom of culture and history, but which are the best museums for kids in the city? Exploring Rome can be tough, especially if it’s the first time in town. The are lot of highlights and they can be very far from each other, so better being organized! Your life will be easier and kids will not get bored or annoying going from one place to another if you plan things in advance. So, where to start? In all modesty, Rome is one of the cities I know best, so I can definitely be your right-hand mole here!

BEFORE TO GET TO MUSEUMS FOR KIDS, DON’T FORGET TO…

A good idea could be exploring Rome’s highlights with one of my tours of the city: you can choose between 2 different paths, Ancient and Classic Rome. The first one is a full immersion journey into the Imperial age, including an guided visit inside the Colosseum (skip the line tickets!) and an amazing overview of the Roman Forum and the Capitol Hill. If you wish to know more about different styles and ages of Rome,  the Classic tour is perfect! An overview on the Colosseum and the Forum and then a jump into the baroque in Navona Square, a nice walk to the Pantheon and its secrets and – last but not least – a real taste of roman life in Campo de’ Fiori square! Kids will have fun playing with their booklet, solving games and riddles together with you and the expert guide.
