When our kids were little, we had the good fortune to spend a week in Rome with our kids. We saw virtually everything there is to see on a family trip to Rome, but sadly they were too young to remember anything. On our most recent family trip to Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, we flew in and out of Rome. As a result, we had 24 hours in Rome with kids and we wanted to make the most of it.

Italy Itinerary with Kids: 10, 14 & 30 Days
Italy is one of the most family-friendly countries on the planet, but you still need to build in the right mix of culture, outdoor time, slower travel days and kid-friendly stops. With world-famous cities like Rome, Florence and Pisa, beautiful coastal villages in Cinque Terre, and beach time on the Island of Elba, this Italy itinerary with kids gave us a trip that felt both memorable and manageable.
Colombia with Kids: 3-Week Family Itinerary
Our trip to Colombia with kids ended up being one of the best family holidays we’ve ever had. We focused our Colombia family itinerary on the Caribbean coast, which gave us a good mix of colourful cities, beach time, jungle hiking and wildlife.
Dahlandia Hotel Review: Isla Múcura, Colombia
This Dahlandia Hotel Review is based on our six-night stay on Isla Múcura, a small Caribbean island in Colombia’s San Bernardo Islands. We stayed at Dahlandia during our 3 week family trip to Colombia, and after several busy days exploring cities, beaches and jungle destinations, we were more than ready for a simple island escape.
Tayrona National Park with Kids: Cabo San Juan Tips
Visiting Tayrona National Park with kids was one of the experiences we were most excited about during our 3 week trip to Colombia with kids. With jungle trails, Caribbean beaches and the Sierra Nevada mountains all in one place, Tayrona offers the kind of outdoor adventure our family loves. Of all the places we could visit in the park, the hike to Cabo San Juan appealed to us most.
Cartagena with Kids: Best Things to Do
Cartagena with kids is a fun and colourful stop on a family trip to Colombia, especially if you base yourself in Getsemaní. We didn’t have a lot of time in Cartagena, but we’re so glad we spent a good chunk of it here. It was easy to walk to Cartagena’s Old Town, but Getsemaní also had plenty to keep us happy close to our hotel, including street art, casual restaurants, small shops and a lively neighbourhood feel.

Ciudad Perdida Trek Tips: What to Know Before You Go

Lost City Hike with Kids: Our 6-Day Trek in Colombia
The Lost City Hike with kids may sound a little ambitious at first, and for good reason. Nestled high in the jungle of Colombia’s lush Sierra Nevada mountains, the Lost City, or Ciudad Perdida, is a legitimate bucket list hike for many intrepid travellers. It’s not an easy trek to Ciudad Perdida and, unlike hiking the Inca Trail with kids, there is no train or shortcut to make the journey easier.
