Explore nature

Italy is known for its diverse landscapes, from the mountains and lakes in the north to the fiery craters in the south and the turquoise sea grottos on the coast. The countryside offers a natural playground for all sorts of activities, such as skiing, hiking, biking and horse riding.

Wander among the vineyards, olive groves and sleepy villages of Tuscany, or head to the Sorrento and Amalfi coast with its steep mountains and stunning views.

Ancient history

Italy is steeped in history and nothing reflects this more than its architecture. Head to the cities to see buildings erected by the Romans, as well as examples of leading modern architectural design.

Favourite destinations in which to explore the country’s rich culture are Rome, Venice and Florence. You’ll also find many medieval villages and landmarks along the coastline and in the hills.

Italy is home to some of the world’s most famous historic paintings and murals too, including works by Raphael and Michelangelo in Vatican City and Leonardo Da Vinci and Botticelli in Florence.

Savour the food and drink

A major attraction of Italy is its food. Yes, you can eat pasta and pizza, but the country has a diverse range of other dishes to try too.

The national cuisine is distinguished by its simplicity. Many dishes have four ingredients or fewer, but with top-class produce, they’re elevated to fine dining quality.

Different regions have their own cooking style and locally-sourced ingredients, including olive oil, fruit, vegetables, fish and meat.

No trip to Italy would be complete without taking a tour of one of its famous vineyards. Tuscany is particularly noted for its fine wines, produced from many grape varieties.

Shopping

Italy is the home of some of the world’s best fashion houses, including Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Armani. These designer labels can be purchased all over the country, although most of the flagship stores are in Milan.

There’s also the chance to pick up some local souvenirs in the markets, which can be found everywhere from the city centres to the coastal and lakeside villages. Here, you can buy everything from jewellery and clothes, to leather goods and regional produce.
