We've bought our backpacks and got return flights to Italy for £75, originally with the intention of heading East for 3 weeks, but I've decided that as there is so much to see and do in Italy, we will just spend the 3 weeks travelling around Italy.
I spent quite a bit of time backpacking back in the 90's and as I couldn't decide where we should go for our summer holiday, and being people that couldn't sit around a hotel pool for 2 weeks on a package holiday, this seems the best sort of holiday for us.
Has anyone any experience of travelling alone with a child in Europe? (apart from the obvious) and in particular Italy? Any tips/advice/recommendations of places the kids would love would be great :-)
