Hilly cobbled towns, blistering summer heat, long drives between sights, and endless church-gazing can tire out and frustrate little travellers pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since we started travelling with little Jon\u00e1\u0161, <strong>we think a lot more about logistics and overall comfort<\/strong>. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I were last in Tuscany on e-bikes, back before he was born, but I know all too well how having a child changes your priorities and that you can no longer just aimlessly wander the alleys from morning till night \ud83d\ude05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve put together <strong>18 things that really work with kids in Tuscany<\/strong>, plus a few honest warnings so nothing catches you off guard once you&#8217;re there. We&#8217;ll go over the tricky rules for the Leaning Tower in Pisa, the best local water parks, I&#8217;ll help you pick a strategic base for your stay, and we&#8217;ll talk about how to keep the parents&#8217; nerves intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c7f21af&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c7f21af\"

There&#8217;s absolutely no lift, no spots to rest, and in summer there&#8217;s no air conditioning whatsoever, so it gets pretty stuffy inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entrance fee is \u20ac20 per person and <strong>the time limit for the whole visit is just 30 minutes<\/strong>. Entries are split into precise half-hour slots that the Italian attendants keep to with surprising accuracy. If you turn up late, they won&#8217;t let you in and <strong>you won&#8217;t get a refund for a missed ticket<\/strong>. With younger kids you can happily spend the time down on the lawns of Piazza dei Miracoli \u2014 you just have to plan around that restriction in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c7f329d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c7f329d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1223\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03.jpg\" alt=\"Kids on a day trip in Tuscany\" class=\"wp-image-389996\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-700x476.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-696x473.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-03-1392x946.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_tips_on_what_to_do_in_Tuscany_Italy_with_kids\"><\/span>18 tips on what to do in Tuscany, Italy with kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve put together a list of eighteen specific places and activities <strong>that are guaranteed to keep kids entertained<\/strong> once they&#8217;ve had their fill of Renaissance art.

If you feel your kids can&#8217;t handle one more church, this is where you&#8217;ll more than make it up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole complex has a gorgeous Hawaiian theme and <strong>you&#8217;ll find over 10 giant slides<\/strong> plus plenty of shallow lagoons for smaller swimmers. An all-day adult ticket costs \u20ac28, children under 140 cm pay \u20ac22, and afternoon entry after 2:30 pm is a bit cheaper, with adults paying \u20ac22 and children \u20ac17. Great news is that children under 100 cm get in completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the very youngest there&#8217;s a special <strong>Moku lagoon with mini slides<\/strong> and safe water play. Older kids will love new additions like the Kupua lost island or the Kona temple slide, while worn-out parents can finally relax in the themed Makai pool with its lovely waterfalls and hot tubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c7f40f1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c7f40f1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1196\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05.jpg\" alt=\"Pool with a shallow lagoon for toddlers\" class=\"wp-image-389998\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-05-1392x925.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Acqua_Village_Cecina\"><\/span>2.

Great news for families with toddlers is that children under 100 cm get in completely free, and seniors over 70 don&#8217;t pay either, which is handy if you&#8217;re travelling with grandparents too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here too you&#8217;ll find amazing tropical decorations, <strong>a pile of thrill slides<\/strong> for older kids and calmer shallow zones for the little ones. It&#8217;s an ideal place to spend the whole day, and the kids will guaranteed drop into bed exhausted in the evening \ud83d\ude05.

It&#8217;s a classic example of stunning Italian garden art, full of cascades, romantic fountains and perfectly symmetrical flower beds. For parents it&#8217;s balm for the nerves, and for kids a rather intriguing maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For families it really pays to <strong>buy a combined ticket<\/strong>, which lets you visit both places at a better price and fills a pleasant morning. The walk through the garden is beautifully calming and kids absolutely love discovering hidden corners or watching the peacocks that stroll freely and show off their feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here too <strong>prices vary with the current season<\/strong> and the ticket combination you choose. So check all the details on the official website before you go, so there are no surprises when you arrive. The garden is also quite hilly, so swap the stroller for a comfy baby carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c801b0b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c801b0b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09.jpg\" alt=\"Colourful sculptures in the Giardino dei Tarocchi\" class=\"wp-image-390003\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-09-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sailko \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Giardino_dei_Tarocchi_in_Capalbio\"><\/span>6.

All over town you&#8217;ll find plenty of rental shops that are brilliantly set up for families and routinely offer kids&#8217; bikes, child seats and perfectly safe trailers for the little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you ride you&#8217;re constantly in the shade of huge trees, <strong>you can stop for a picnic on the grass at any time<\/strong> or take in the view down into the winding alleys of the historic centre. It&#8217;s safe, fun and incredibly relaxed. The whole loop is about four kilometres, so even smaller cyclists can manage it comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c8026b5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c8026b5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1015\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11.jpg\" alt=\"A shallow beach in Versilia\" class=\"wp-image-390006\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-700x395.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-11-1392x785.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_beaches_of_Versilia\"><\/span>8.

The beaches here are incredibly wide and sandy, and the water only deepens very gradually, so it&#8217;s completely safe for little swimmers and you don&#8217;t have to constantly worry that they&#8217;ll take one step and lose their footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the beaches here are also organised and <strong>you&#8217;ll find full beach service<\/strong>, from clean toilets and showers to restaurants and playgrounds built right in the sand. That saves you the hassle of lugging parasols, towels and food supplies in enormous bags out to a wild beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kids can spend hours building sandcastles and <strong>splashing in the shallow, pleasantly warm water<\/strong>.

Saturnia is one of the best-known spots in Tuscany, and kids are sure to love the feeling of bathing in a real wild river surrounded by steaming vapour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there are a few things to be prepared for that Instagram photos usually don&#8217;t show. <strong>The bottom of the pools is quite rocky and unpleasantly slippery<\/strong>, so definitely pack sturdy water shoes for the kids to avoid needless injuries. Really don&#8217;t try this with small children barefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water is a lovely 37 degrees, but <strong>the high sulphur content means it smells quite strongly of rotten eggs<\/strong>, which more sensitive kids may find a bit off-putting at first and turn their noses up at. I recommend coming early in the morning, so you avoid the crowds and the worst of the midday heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c8032db&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c8032db\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13.jpg\" alt=\"The white limestone cascade of Bagni San Filippo\" class=\"wp-image-390010\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-13-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Bagni_San_Filippo\"><\/span>10.

The main attraction here is the huge white limestone formation known as the White Whale (Balena Bianca), over which hot water flows straight into small natural pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting here is much wilder and shadier, which <strong>is a huge advantage in the hot Tuscan summer<\/strong>. Kids feel like real jungle explorers here, and the warm water lovely soothes tired little feet after a whole day of walking around the sights. A trip here pairs beautifully with a visit to the Val d&#8217;Orcia valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with the other natural hot springs, here too <strong>you need to watch out for slippery rocks<\/strong> and not let kids run around unsupervised. The water isn&#8217;t deep, but you can never be too careful, and here too it definitely pays to have water shoes packed for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c80393a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c80393a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1176\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14.jpg\" alt=\"Farm animals kids can see up close\" class=\"wp-image-390011\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-696x455.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-14-1392x909.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_An_agriturismo_with_animals\"><\/span>11. An agriturismo with animals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tuscan countryside is dotted with traditional stone farmsteads, and <strong>staying on a farm like this is a thousand times better for kids<\/strong> than the fanciest hotel in the middle of a city. An agriturismo offers loads of space to run around, fresh air, perfect peace and, above all, a safe environment far from busy Italian roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these estates work as real farms, so <strong>kids can watch horses and sheep or even join in feeding the poultry<\/strong>. For city kids it&#8217;s often the very best experience of the whole holiday, and they won&#8217;t even remember all the churches. When booking, definitely check whether the estate has a pool \u2014 in summer it&#8217;s an absolute must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the little ones run around the lawn or happily pet the resident dog, <strong>parents can enjoy a quiet glass of local wine<\/strong> with a view of the rolling, cypress-studded hills. It&#8217;s exactly the balance a family holiday needs so everyone comes home rested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c803fe6&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c803fe6\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1539\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15.jpg\" alt=\"The towers of San Gimignano\" class=\"wp-image-390013\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-700x599.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-768x657.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-1536x1313.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-696x595.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-15-1392x1190.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ingo Mehling \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_The_towers_of_San_Gimignano_in_Tuscany_Italy\"><\/span>12.

You can let them run around the little central square by the well while you enjoy a well-earned espresso in one of the caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c804a9c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c804a9c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17.jpg\" alt=\"The alleys of Volterra\" class=\"wp-image-390028\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-17-1392x1856.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">sailko \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Volterra_and_its_mysterious_alleys\"><\/span>14. Volterra and its mysterious alleys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town of Volterra, perched high on a windy hill, <strong>has an amazing, almost mystical atmosphere<\/strong> that differs sharply from the more polished and crowded Florence or Siena. The town is famous for its traditional alabaster work, and kids will enjoy peeking into the small craft workshops where they can see the masters at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historic centre is full of narrow stone alleys <strong>that feel like something out of a fantasy film<\/strong> and practically invite you to wander and discover hidden little squares. And right below the town there are well-preserved remains of an ancient Roman theatre, where you can tell fascinating stories about gladiators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For older kids and teenagers, Volterra has one more big bonus: <strong>scenes from the popular vampire saga Twilight were filmed here<\/strong>, which can be a huge motivation for them to actually visit this hilltop town. Just watch out \u2014 the ZTL zones apply here too, so you have to park in the lots outside the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c805064&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c805064\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"The lawn on Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa\" class=\"wp-image-390029\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-rotated.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-18-696x928.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adri45an \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"toskansko\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-08-22T12:09:55+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

The square is truly enormous, offers plenty of space, and even a visit to the cathedral itself is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And <strong>you can endlessly try to nail that classic funny photo<\/strong> of holding up the falling tower, an activity that usually gets kids laughing and keeps them entertained. Trust me, coming up with the best poses takes more time than the interior visit itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c80568e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c80568e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19.jpg\" alt=\"Snorkelling in the crystal-clear water off Elba\" class=\"wp-image-390030\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-19-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Snorkelling_on_the_island_of_Elba\"><\/span>16.

With their diving masks, kids can explore the rich underwater life and hunt for colourful fish among the reefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elba also has beautifully wild nature, and <strong>you can even visit Napoleon Bonaparte&#8217;s summer residence<\/strong>, sneaking a little bit of school history into the holiday. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: in high summer season, definitely book your ferry tickets well in advance online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c805b54&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c805b54\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20.jpg\" alt=\"Florence and the Ponte Vecchio bridge\" class=\"wp-image-390031\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-20-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Florence_only_in_small_pieces\"><\/span>17.

Stroll across the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge and let the kids admire the shop windows full of glittering jewellery, which they usually really enjoy. Save the sprawling galleries like the Uffizi with toddlers for another visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of a whole day of trudging around museums, <strong>head up to the Piazzale Michelangelo viewpoint<\/strong>, where you have the whole city laid out before you and there&#8217;s plenty of space and fresh air. If older kids do insist on the Uffizi, buy your tickets well in advance online so you don&#8217;t queue for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c805fef&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c805fef\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1010\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21.jpg\" alt=\"Countryside accommodation in the Italian landscape from above\" class=\"wp-image-390032\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-1536x862.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-21-1392x781.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_A_pool_day_to_the_rescue\"><\/span>18.

Kids love days when no one demands good behaviour in quiet churches and they can just splash around carefree and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These lazy days, <strong>where you spend the afternoon reading a book in the shade and eating fresh Italian watermelon<\/strong>, are often among the very best and most bonding moments of the whole Italian trip. Don&#8217;t be afraid to slow down a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c806474&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c806474\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22.jpg\" alt=\"Cobbled alley on a hillside\" class=\"wp-image-392971\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-22-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_doesnt_work_with_kids\"><\/span>What doesn&#8217;t work with kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to be upfront about the essentials: a few things in Tuscany really don&#8217;t work with kids and can be a proper pain. <strong>Tuscan cobblestones and endless hills are the arch-enemy of strollers<\/strong>. Historic centres are full of uneven stones, steps and steep alleys, so a baby carrier or a comfy backpack carrier is often a much more practical choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely brutal is <strong>the summer heat in July and August<\/strong>, when inland stone towns become literally unbearable during the day. We strongly recommend planning town visits for early morning and spending the afternoon by the pool. Another mood-killer is <strong>long car journeys<\/strong>, so really don&#8217;t put more than one or two places a day on your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And honestly, <strong>big galleries and museums like the Uffizi are a real test of character with a small child<\/strong>. Kids get bored looking at paintings, they can&#8217;t run around, and it&#8217;s horribly packed. Also watch out for the <strong>ZTL traffic zones (Zona Traffico Limitato)<\/strong> \u2014 you can&#8217;t drive into the centres by car, so expect a fairly long walk with the kids from the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c8068ac&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c8068ac\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full

Also check the air conditioning in advance, because <strong>air conditioning is not a given in Italy<\/strong>, especially in the most romantic old stone farmhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you plan to rent a car, keep in mind that <strong>a child car seat is booked separately and tends to be quite expensive<\/strong>, so it often pays to bring your own on the plane. Italian restaurants open very late for dinner, commonly not until around eight in the evening, which is why <strong>with a small child we found it best to make lunch the main meal of the day<\/strong>, when everyone still has relative energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget to bring a reusable bottle \u2014 <strong>drinking fountains with good tap water are completely normal in the towns<\/strong>, and in the summer heat constant hydration is key. And one more little thing: <strong>they won&#8217;t let you into churches in shorts and with bare shoulders<\/strong>, which is strictly enforced even for older kids, so always keep a scarf handy in your backpack to throw over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c8071b5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c8071b5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1201\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25.jpg\" alt=\"The Tuscan landscape in spring\" class=\"wp-image-392974\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-25-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go_with_kids\"><\/span>When to go with kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re not tied to older kids&#8217; school holidays, <strong>May, June and September are by far the best choice for a family visit<\/strong>. These months offer the perfect combination of bearable temperatures for wandering around the sights, while the sea is already (or still) pleasantly warm for swimming. There are also noticeably fewer people everywhere and you&#8217;ll find family accommodation at far better prices than in peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I must warn you about very firmly is the summer holidays. <strong>July and August mean gruelling heat commonly over 35 \u00b0C<\/strong>, and inland the thermometers can climb close to forty in the afternoon, which is devastating for kids. Stone towns act like huge ovens and walking through them during the day is more of a punishment. On top of that, around the big Italian holiday of <strong>Ferragosto (15 August), everywhere is packed to bursting<\/strong>, Italians take mass holidays, and the price of everything skyrockets. It&#8217;s better to avoid Italy entirely at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have preschoolers and you&#8217;re not too fussed about swimming, <strong>April and October are great for touring the towns<\/strong>. Temperatures are ideal for trips and there are minimal tourists. You just have to accept that the water in the pools and the sea will be cold, and a large share of amusement parks and outdoor attractions are already closed or only run on weekends. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: spring and autumn dates are increasingly popular with families with preschoolers, so even off-season it&#8217;s best to book accommodation well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a89b2c807692&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a89b2c807692\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26.jpg\" alt=\"Agriturismo with a pool for families\" class=\"wp-image-392975\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-toskansko-s-detmi-26-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_with_kids\"><\/span>Where to stay with kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We prefer to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which tends to have <strong>the best cancellation terms<\/strong>.

Kids have loads of safe space to run around far from cars, there are often farm animals to see, and in the evening parents appreciate the total peace with a view of nature. For summer dates a pool is an absolute necessity \u2014 without one you won&#8217;t survive with kids in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A huge advantage of agriturismi and apartments is having your own kitchen. <strong>Being able to whip up quick pasta or make breakfast the way you like it<\/strong> is priceless with small and often picky eaters. Plus you don&#8217;t have to wait until eight every evening for the Italian restaurants to even open. If you want absolute privacy and you&#8217;re travelling as two families of friends together, <strong>renting your own villa with a pool is a genuinely brilliant idea<\/strong>, because you split the cost and the kids won&#8217;t disturb anyone at the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing a location, try to find a strategic spot. <strong>We&#8217;ve had good luck looking for accommodation in the Val d&#8217;Orcia area or a bit closer to the coast<\/strong>, so you have both beautiful historic towns and the sea or water parks within reach. Ideally you want interesting day-trip destinations within an hour&#8217;s drive.

The local pecorino cheese and the hard cantucci biscuits are also delicious, and it&#8217;s worth heading to the local markets full of fresh fruit for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The locals may love heavier dishes and die-hard meat lovers rave about local specialities like bistecca alla fiorentina or wild boar (cinghiale) salami, but Italian restaurants are brilliantly set up for families. <strong>They routinely offer a scaled-down menu bambini<\/strong> or will very happily make you a half portion of pasta even if it isn&#8217;t officially on the menu \u2014 just smile and ask nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/tuscany-vacation\/\">Tuscany: 30 most beautiful places and a 7-day itinerary<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/lucca-italy-things-to-do\/\">Lucca: 22 tips on what to see and why to cycle the walls<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/pisa-italy-leaning-tower\/\">The Leaning Tower of Pisa: entrance fee and how to buy tickets<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/beaches-tuscany-italy\/\">Tuscany&#8217;s beaches: the 20 most beautiful and how they work<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/tuscany-italy-by-car\/\">Tuscany by car: a 7-day itinerary<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/tuscany-weather-by-month\/\">Weather in Tuscany: temperatures month by month and when to go<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are answers to what parents most often wonder about before a trip to Tuscany. You&#8217;ll find most of them explained above, but if you need a quick answer, start here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_children_go_up_the_Leaning_Tower\"><\/span>Can children go up the Leaning Tower?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For strict safety reasons, only children aged 8 and over are allowed on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and children aged 8 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Unfortunately, younger children cannot go up at all, and tickets are non-refundable in such cases.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Tuscany_suitable_for_young_children\"><\/span>Is Tuscany suitable for young children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, but it requires a slightly different approach to planning. It&#8217;s definitely worth having one base in the countryside, ideally an agriturismo with a pool, and not trying to visit every historic town. A relaxed pace, minimal long drives, and alternating sightseeing with swimming is the key to success.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_water_parks_are_there_in_Tuscany\"><\/span>What water parks are there in Tuscany?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best water fun is offered by the huge Acqua Village parks in Follonica and Cecina. They&#8217;re themed in Hawaiian style with lots of slides and shallow lagoons for the little ones. An all-day ticket for an adult costs around \u20ac27 to \u20ac28, and children under 100 cm usually get free entry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_Giardino_dei_Tarocchi_cost\"><\/span>How much does Giardino dei Tarocchi cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Standard admission to this fairytale sculpture garden costs \u20ac15 for adults, reduced tickets for youth and seniors are \u20ac10, and children under 6 get in free. However, tickets can only be purchased online through the Ticketlandia system \u2013 you can&#8217;t buy them at the gate at all.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stroller_or_baby_carrier\"><\/span>Stroller or baby carrier?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In Tuscany&#8217;s historic towns, a baby carrier or comfortable backpack carrier is much more practical with a small child. The towns are often very hilly and the surfaces are old, uneven cobblestones. Plus, because of the ZTL zones, you often have to park far from the center, so you&#8217;ll really struggle with a stroller.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go_with_children\"><\/span>When to go with children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For families with children, the absolutely ideal months are May, June, and September, when it&#8217;s pleasantly warm for excursions and there are fewer people. Definitely avoid July and August, when extreme heat of around 40 \u00b0C prevails inland and crowds of tourists are everywhere around the Ferragosto holiday (August 15).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay\"><\/span>Where to stay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best choice for families is a traditional agriturismo with a pool set in the countryside, ideally with its own kitchenette. Children have plenty of space to run around safely, parents can relax away from the city bustle, and there are often farm animals to see at these farms.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787231328007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_when_its_scorching_hot\"><\/span>What to do when it&#8217;s scorching hot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>On hot summer days, plan visits to historic stone towns for early morning, when it&#8217;s still relatively cool and you can manage the sights. At midday and in the afternoon, it&#8217;s better to stay by the pool, head to the sea, or visit the large water parks where the kids can cool off.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning a trip to Tuscany, Italy with kids?
