Family trip to Marche Region with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Marche will be a nice place for those children, who like beaches, calm sea and excursions. There are no big entertaining centers here, but if you want, you can go to the places located in the nearby regions. In this region of Italy, a child can sunbathe and swim as much as he wants, ride a catamaran, a quadricycle or a jet ski, jump on a trampoline and use all the other seaside attractions. There are a few aqua parks in Marche: Eldorado, Contrada Pianidi Sopra in Apiro and Malibu in Porto Recanati. Those are more like recreational centers, but the kids should like it. Older children will like the opportunity to visit the real medieval districts of ancient cities, and fashionable teenagers will gladly join the shopping activities.

When choosing a hotel, check if it is available for staying with kids. Some five-star hotels, oriented on business meetings, do not allow kids. If your baby is little, you can ask for a crib at the reception. However, in some hotels, you will pay extra for this, but most of the self-respecting hotels have them. If you travel with a teenager, think about a suite – they have a separate bedroom and a couch in a living room.

if your child is interested in history, take him for a walk in the center of Urbino. Though, those medieval districts won’t leave coldblooded even those kids, who hate history lessons. Because it’s one thing to study all those useless paragraphs about some dukes’ fights, and another one is to see the beauty and majesty of the ancient buildings with your own eyes. And for a little child, this walk will become a real journey into the world of brave knights, beautiful princesses, and terrible dragons. If your child likes music, take him to the Macerata Opera.

Little children, as well as teenagers, will be interested to see Fabriano’s workshop. Centuries ago in this exact place, local masters made a number of important discoveries, which allowed to make paper-making processes cheaper and allowed to print watermarks on it. Now everyone can not only see the process of paper-making but also participate in it. The kids will definitely have a lot of excitement.

Visit the Frasassi Caves. The walk will take only an hour and a half, so you can take even a little child with you. A crystallized lake, huge stalactites, and stalagmites – all those amaze you and are remembered for a long time. If you don’t want to go underground, you can go for a horse ride in a national park at the ridge of Monti Sibillini. The horses are gentle here, so even a teenager will be able to handle them.

In Macerata and Urbino a child will most likely be interested in universities. Those ancient places of knowledge, which are a couple of centuries old, are remarkably different from the modern ones, and cannot but attract attention. In Urbino, which is also a native city of Raphael Santi, there is a great art gallery. If your kid likes art, don’t miss this chance to see the legacy of the greatest artist of the Renaissance.

In Ancona you can also take your child to a balneological clinic. The city is world-famous as a balneological resort. In Ancona, you will also find the Arch of Trajan and the Roman Amphitheatre, which were built at the beginning of our era. Though partially destroyed, they still show the power of Ancient Rome. In the whole, March is perfect for those, who want not only to let their children lie in the sun and swim, but also to learn a lot about the history of Italy.
