Italy

Europe

Overview

From tranquil lakes and breathtaking bays to cultural landmarks and vibrant cities, Italy’s scenery is a treat for the senses.

Add to this the celebrated cuisine and cultural treasures and you have a recipe for more than just a memorable visit.

If you’re in the mood for panoramic coastal scenery, focus upon stylish Portofino or head straight for the Amalfi coastline. From Amalfi a winding road ascends to the hill town of Ravello, set amidst semi-tropical gardens and with breathtaking views of the coast.

A trip to Lake Garda or Lake Como will reveal the kind of scenery that inspires poets and artists, whilst the cities of Florence, Venice and Rome reveal Italy’s world-famous style, passion and art.

Visit during spring, summer and autumn for the best of the weather.
