Where is Italy?
In southern Europe, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy is made up of the Italian Peninsula and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. It’s a country of regions, as diverse as they are similar, where you can venture from the ancient ruins of obliterated Pompeii to the sculpted rolling hills of Tuscany in just a few hours.
History
Italy’s had a great influence on Europe, Arabia and North Africa has been substantial with empires and republics ruling beyond the country’s modern borders. Today, you can explore the heart of these once-great powers without really trying – reminders of the past can be seen at almost every turn. Rome is the ultimate living museum but destinations such as Verona, Sicily and Sardinia are all packed with ancient architecture. Slightly more modern are the Medieval and Renaissance relics of Tuscany and Florence, the 14th-Century trulli houses of Puglia and the Middle Age wonders of Venice; Italy is a time capsule on a national scale.
Multi centres
You don’t need to limit yourself to just one destination per holiday – Italy is a great place to widen your horizon and choose two (or more) stops. There are plenty of quintessential combos: Milan and Lake Como, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, Florence and Tuscany, and Sicily & the Aeolian Islands to name but a (very) few. We can take you between towns and cities via group or private transfers; alternatively, you can hit the open road in your own car and dictate your own schedule or take the train and take in those stunning views outside your window as you’re rolling past.
Self-drives
Hiring a car is one of the best ways to discover all that Italy has to offer. It gives you the freedom to explore historical sites and beautiful landscapes at your own pace. Driving around Italy opens up a world of fascinating sights and scenery, from the winding clifftop roads of the Amalfi Coast to Tuscany’s glorious countryside and medieval towns, and the majestic peaks that border the romantic shores of Italy’s lakes.
Train travel
In Italy, one of the most efficient and best-value ways to travel from city to city and further afield is by rail. The country’s high-speed rail network links our featured cities of Rome, Florence, Verona, Venice and Milan with few or no stops in between. You can also reach Tuscany, Puglia, the Neapolitan Riviera and beyond. Sit back as you speed through the Italian countryside and arrive right at the heart of your chosen destination.
Food & Drink
Eating in Italy is serious business. Italian cuisine is a regional affair so there’s plenty of variety. If a Mediterranean-style diet tickles your tastebuds, we recommend heading down south. There’s lots of olive oil, vegetables, fresh fish and fruit used in this region, and with the humble pizza originating in Neapolitan cuisine, Naples produces some of the best pizzas in the world. In central Italy, food is simplistic, and often more rustic. You’ll find lots of meat, beans and pasta on the menus, as well as delicious regional wines. Up north, the diet becomes much richer and more substantial – pasta is replaced with creamy risottos and polenta, and you’ll find lots of truffle and pesto used on the menus.
