Florence has long been a city of dreamers, and with its tremendous art and architecture, it still is one of the best places for creative types. To make a vacation to Florence kid-friendly, consider taking an introductory walking tour so you can better appreciate the phenomenal history you’ll see throughout the town. Marry that with a more hands-on experience, like a cooking class or fresco-making lesson — everyone in the family will feel like one of Florence’s masters. After all these wonderful activities, seek out kid-friendly hotels with pools to cool off from the hot summer afternoons and well-configured rooms that ensure a good night’s rest.
