Italy Holidays
Epicentre of the Roman Empire, birthplace of the Renaissance and advocate of ‘la dolce vita’, Italy is a melting pot of history, art and gastronomy. Stylish, cultured and beautiful, Italy is home to breathtaking countryside, long stretches of coastline, rugged islands and charming cities, and very importantly, has more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other country in the world. From the glacial lakes and snow-capped alps in the north, to the south’s turquoise grottoes and lemon groves, Italy has something for everyone.
Italy’s magnificent capital Rome is deserving of its status as the ‘Eternal City’. Awash with ancient ruins and bustling piazzas, spend time exploring Rome’s cobbled streets and historic landmarks, not forgetting St. Peter’s Basilica and Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Other unmissable cities include Florence, home to some of the world’s best art and architecture, Venice with its romantic canals and Milan, which boasts exceptional shopping and fairytale buildings.
To the north, relax on the stunning shores of Lake Garda or Como, visit the rolling vineyards of Langhe or enjoy an opera break in Verona. To the south, take a boat trip down the Amalfi Coast, discover quaint colourful villages in Sicily or explore the picturesque beaches of Puglia. Inland you will find spectacular Tuscany with its medieval towns and verdant green countryside, the hidden gem of Umbria and Emilia-Romagna's famous ‘Food Valley’.
