Tips

To lengthen the journey, add a free day in either Florence or Venice for a more relaxed visit; both cities have wonderful families‑friendly neighborhoods and parks. If you need to shorten the trip, consider dropping the Costa Brava day‑trip or the Lake Como excursion, each of which can be replaced by a scenic train ride that still lets the infant enjoy the scenery but reduces travel time and costs.
