Why visit Italy?
Italy blends ancient history, Renaissance art, and dramatic landscapes in one compact country. You find grand cities, coastal villages, lakes, and mountains within easy reach of each other.
What to expect
Rome, the capital, is rich in monuments and museums, while Milan balances historic charm with modern style and design. Beyond the cities, you can explore hill towns, wine regions, lakes, and seaside escapes.
Plan your trip
You can use Italy as a gateway to explore the wider Mediterranean and Europe, with strong rail and flight connections. Plan extra days to combine its major cities with at least one quieter region.
