Popular Destinations In Italy
Italy has such an incredible range of very different destinations, from the immaculate beaches in Sardinia to the iconic canals in Venice and everything inbetween. Here are some of our popular destinations in Italy:
Tuscany
The rolling hills of Tuscany have long been the scene of romantic films shoots and gastronomic dreams, the ideal holiday destination for enjoying the countryside, cuisine and culture of Italy. As a region, Tuscany (or Toscana as it's known locally) runs from Pontremoli, through Pisa and Florence and down towards Montepulciano and Grosseto, which makes it ideal for a multi-centre vacation, taking in the bustle of ancient cities, while enjoying the slower pace of life of the countryside.
Italian Lakes
The lakes border the Italian Alps offering incredibly dramatic landscapes, and actually run through three regions, Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto. During the hot, summer months, if you don't find the Italian's on the southern beaches, you'll find them enjoying the lakeside views of the north. The likes of Lake Como and Lake Garda are the most famous, but head a bit further away and you'll escape many of the typical tourist traps to discover your own piece of Italy.
Cities
The cities of Italy are simply awe-inspiring. With Rome at its heart, a city full of incredible ancient ruins, monuments and statues, and the magnificient Milan, once Italy's industrial pedestal, these are just two of the cities just waiting to be explored.
Islands
Italy's islands are certainly worth a visit, particularly if you love Italy and you've done many places on the mainland.
Sicily
The largest island in Italy and in the Mediterranean, Sicily is full of history, culture and delicious Sicilian cuisine. Thousands of years old, its capital, Palermo is the perfect place to stop and take in the sights before heading on to explore more of the island, including Taormina and Mount Etna.
Sardinia
One thing you may have seen when researching Sardinia are the crystal clear waters that trick you into thinking you're somewhere in the Caribbean. Many flock here simply to get those Insta-worthy snaps, but there's much more to see and do on the island during your trip. From historic chapels to hiking the hills, one of the best things to do is hire a car and find the little hidden gems which are dotted about the island.
Luxury Italian Holidays
While we are all about affordable holidays, if you can splash the cash a little, perhaps it's a special occasion, Italy has some absolutely incredible hotels, resorts and options on the luxury side of things. Take the five-star Rome Cavalieri in Rome. Although not in the heart of the city, this is a beautiful hotel with room views to die for.
Italy Holidays & Coronavirus
Many countries, including Italy were affected by Coronavirus and before you book and travel, we always recommend checking the latest travel advice with the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office, to understand any travel restrictions in place. This is also the place to find out about any visas, passport requirements and other travel details needed before you visit. For flight inclusive holidays, be sure to book your trip through an ATOL protected provider to ensure it is financially protected.
