Rome has just opened a new riverside park—and it’s making it much easier to balance sightseeing with a chance to cool off.
Just 10 minutes from the historic centre, this new green space has a relaxed, beachy feel, with sand, beach volleyball, a shallow splash pool for children, sun loungers and a great café serving spritz, gelato and light lunches. It’s the perfect place to escape the heat for an hour or two before heading back to explore the city.
There is also a splash pad, although when we visited it wasn’t operating and its opening times seem a little unpredictable. If it starts running consistently throughout the day, I think this could become a real favourite for families visiting Rome.
Have you been yet? We’d love to hear if the splash pad was running when you visited!

What happens when children stop being tourists and start being explorers?
They stop asking:
"How much longer?"
And start asking:
"What's next?"
This is our Colosseum mission – a self-guided family adventure that turns sightseeing into a game.
Because the best souvenir from Rome isn't something you buy.
It's watching your child light up with joy.

The Circus Maximus can be hard for kids to imagine today. A huge grassy space… and not much else.
But once they can picture the races, everything changes.
We’ve put together our favourite ways to bring the Circus Maximus alive for kids — including a FREE TrovaTrails Scorpus Charioteer Card to get them into the story before you visit.

Rome wasn’t built by sitting still.
It was built by testing, failing, and figuring things out.
This hands-on STEM workshop lets kids do the same.
At TrovaTrails, we’re on a mission to turn history from passive listening into hands-on learning.
They’ll build, experiment, and think like Roman engineers — giving them a new way to see and understand the buildings around them.

Pedal-powered adventure in Villa Borghese.
Let them take the wheel, race through the park, and burn off energy before diving into history.
Because exploring Rome with kids shouldn’t mean “walk quietly and don’t touch”…
it should mean move, play, discover.
Start with a mission. Let them lead the adventure.
