About Italy
Romantic, historic and filled with passionate, welcoming people, Italy is one of the world's most prestigious and popular holiday destinations. From the simple enchantments of the storied countryside and alpine peaks to the striking coastal towns and stately magnificence of Rome, Italy has something for everyone. Come for the food, come for the adventure, and come for the joy of living life the Italian way.
Here are a few ideas for your Italian itinerary:
-Rome: The cradle of Western civilization, Rome is home to such iconic sites as the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. If you can only go to one place in Italy, many people will advise you to make it Rome.
-Venice: Taking a gondola ride through the canals of Venice makes for an unforgettable experience.
-Sardinia: With over 150 miles of coastline and some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, Sardinia is one of the nation's most popular vacation hotspots. It is also one of the best places to go camping in Italy.
-Sicily: The home of many of the country's most impressive archeological sites and famous for its rugged beauty, people do things a little differently in Sicily. It offers an authentic slice of Italian life with a colorful culture all its own.
-Campania: This region borders the Mediterranean Sea on the country's west coast, and is one of the most widely visited resort areas in the nation. Many Italy cruises include Naples, Campania's capital city, as a port of call. The region's beaches are also popular for a wedding in Italy and make for a storybook Italy honeymoon.
For your Italian holiday, book a vacation rental instead of fussing with a cramped hotel room. Vacation rentals include spacious and comfortable options like villas on the beach, apartments in the city, and cabins in the scenic countryside. You'll find plenty to choose from no matter what your budget and you won't have to sacrifice any of the comforts or amenities of home.
If you want to continue your European adventure, options abound from Italy. Follow the coastline to the west to get to the French Riviera, head north into Switzerland or go east into Slovenia, one of Europe's best-kept secrets.
