Dedicated baby changing rooms are less common in Italy than in Northern Europe or North America.
Plan your trip →Where you’ll find them: shopping malls (centri commerciali — always), major museums (Uffizi, Vatican, most national museums), airports, train station bathrooms (Termini, Centrale), family restaurants, Autogrill (motorway rest stops). Where you won’t: traditional restaurants, small shops, most bars, smaller museums, churches. What to do: carry a portable changing mat (fasciatoio portatile, €10 at any Prenatal or Amazon). In desperation: restaurant tables (ask politely), park benches, the backseat of your rental car. The Italian attitude: Italians adore babies. If you need to change a diaper in an unconventional spot, you’ll get sympathetic smiles, not judging looks. Someone will probably offer help.
