Italy is a wonderland of romantic rolling landscapes, delectable food & wine, and enthralling regions rich with cultural treasure and local pride.

The north is crowned by the Dolomites and includes alpine villages, glamorous lakes, canal-latticed Venice, and fashionable cities like Milan & Turin. Tuscany captures travellers' imaginations like no other region in the country, with its capital Florence - the birthplace of the Renaissance - and scattering of hill towns & vineyards serving up a quintessential slice of “La Dolce Vita”. In capital Rome, you will see scooters speeding past ancient sights like the Colosseum, offering a dizzying mix of past and present. The sun-soaked south is home to Naples, the Amalfi Coast, the ruins of Pompeii, and lesser-visited regions full of beautiful beaches & enchanting labyrinthine towns in addition to serving as the gateway to the island of Sicily. Regardless of where you are in the country, stopping to sip espresso or local wine on a pastel-painted piazza will prove a dream come true.
