Families on holiday in Rome are known to spend hours at the Luna Park at Via delle Tre Fontane. Italy's oldest and largest amusement park boasts over 130 rides. The enormous Ferris wheel offers a fantastic opportunity to admire an aerial view of Rome. Children's favourite cartoon characters wander around the park, and every May there’s a programme of special attractions adapted to the needs of disabled children.

The Children’s Museum of Rome is an excellent place for children to find out that education can be fun. Here, young visitors are free to observe, touch and experiment with various technological wonders. The functioning of everyday objects is explained in a fascinating way. To complete an exciting family tour of the Italian capital, you might want to take a relaxing walk in Gianicolo Park and admire the spectacle of genuine Italian puppeteers. A bike trip or a picnic in the lovely Old Appian Way Park can also be a very pleasant way to enjoy a sunny afternoon.

The Italian capital is widely known as one of the most romantic spots on the globe. You'll certainly understand why if you decide to take a stroll around the city centre at sunset. Whether observed from a boat on the Tiber or a park bench, the late afternoon sky in Rome is always a spectacle unfolding over the rooftops of centuries-old buildings. The special atmosphere of days long gone can be felt especially in such places as the Gardens of Villa dei Medici, a maze of neat paths lined with ancient statues. La Sapienza Botanical Garden is another wonderful place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Established in 1883, it hosts more than 3,500 plant species. The special section “Scent-and-Touch” was designed to enable the blind to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the garden.
