Venice with children

Dinosaurs, animals and displays that can engage both children and adults.
Vaporetto
For younger visitors, travelling on the water is already part of the adventure.
Libreria Acqua Alta
A quirky, colourful stop that children are likely to remember.
Campi & gelato
Build in regular breaks and leave room for spontaneous discoveries.
Pet Friendly
Exploring Venice with your dog
With a little planning, your four-legged travel companion can enjoy a pleasant day in the lagoon too.
Public transport
Keep a muzzle available together with the lead: you may be asked to use it on public transport. Always check the latest ACTV rules before travelling.
Quieter walks
Castello, Sant’Elena and parts of the Lido offer a more relaxed pace.
Water & breaks
Bring a foldable bowl and plan extra stops during hot weather.

The islands
The lagoon beyond historic Venice
Murano, Burano and the Lido can be a dedicated day trip or part of a longer stay.
A tip from Marghera Venice Apartments
If you have at least three days, look beyond Venice.
Free private parking makes it easy to dedicate a day to the Brenta Riviera, Prosecco Hills or one of Veneto's art cities.
