Parents with children and teenagers old enough to appreciate Venice's beauty will have a memorable trip to this iconic city. It's the perfect destination if you have older children interested in art and history. They'll get to see paintings by the great masters and magnificent palaces where rulers plotted out power games against their rivals. But, with its limited public transport network and water taxis, getting around the city with toddlers and babies can become something of a struggle. And pushing prams around the narrow streets or cathedrals means you might miss out on the true Venice experience.
