Right folks, need some advice. We usually go on holiday Easter with our 2 boys (15 & 6) and the other halfs parents & sister. With the boys we tend to stick to more family orientated beach resorts ie Tenerife, Fuertuventura, Salou etc.
However, the other half & her mum have decided they wanted to do something a bit different this year, & do like a multi city thing. They both have always liked the idea of Venice & Rome, so i suggested a 3 city break such as Venice / Florence / Rome which they like the idea of & now want to run with.
However, i'm concerned about taking my youngest on this type of break, as it will be a first for him compared to a hotel / swimming pool / kids club type place.
The idea is only to do a couple of nights in each, just to get a bit of a flavour of the place & so that the wee man doesn't get too bored, & travel by train between the 3 cities.
1. Has anyone done likewise & can reassure me it will be ok with a near 7 year old?
2. Florence was an option because it breaks up the Venice to Rome trip on the train, would i be better going to somewhere like Rimini to break it up & giving the we man a break from the 'City break' type holiday?
3. Can anywhere recommend areas in Venice to stay or where not to stay, its a bit overwhelming looking just now. I understand it's expensive so any cost cutting tips will be appreciated as well.
Any other general advice is most welcome. There would probably be several threads on the old board i would have just looked up before starting a new one.
