[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Portugal. Lisbon, Evora, Comporta.

Switzerland. Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken.

Puglia. Stay at a house with a heated pool or a Masseria.

Greece. Athens and Crete.

Italy. Rome and Umbria.

I like to limit big cities to 2 ish days with kids. It's easier to be in a house somewhere with a pool and access to smaller towns. [/quote]

Thanks! These are great ideas. We have been thinking about Rome and potentially venturing to Pompei for the amazing history, and including a seat in a house in Umbria or maybe elsewhere in Lazio could be a good break from the city. Switzerland would be beautiful and maybe a bit off the beaten path as a spring trip. [/quote]

We went to Rome and Pompey with a 12 and 14 year old.  I would not do it with a 6 and 9 year old unless you’re the kind of person that is going to go to Rome lots of times.  I have a friend that goes annually and he knows all the fun things to do with kids.  But they would hate the Vatican, would get bored quickly at palatine hill, etc.  we took the fast train to Naples to go to Pompei which is much faster than a hired car but it’s still a long slog and Pompei us sort of a long hot walk for kids.  Mine are super interested in Greco-Roman history and it was still kind of a lot.  I think there are better options for this age.  [/quote]
