Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast — la dolce vita in every direction.
✦ Plan My Italy TripItaly is the country that invented the good life. Rome is an open-air museum where the Colosseum sits next to a neighbourhood bar. Florence is the Renaissance made physical — Michelangelo's David, Brunelleschi's dome, the Uffizi. Venice is unlike anything else on earth. The Amalfi Coast is one of the world's great drives. And throughout it all: the food, the wine, the coffee, the unhurried pace.
Tell us your occasion and vibe — we'll build a personalised day-by-day itinerary.
April to June and September to October are perfect — warm, manageable crowds and reasonable prices. July and August are very busy and hot. Venice in winter is atmospheric and crowd-free. The Amalfi Coast is best May to June or September.
Five days covers Rome well. Ten days does Rome, Florence and Venice. Two weeks adds the Amalfi Coast or Sicily. Italy rewards slow travel — a week in Tuscany alone is deeply satisfying.
Italy is best known for Rome's ancient ruins, Florence's Renaissance art, Venice's canals, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscan wine country, Pompeii, the Cinque Terre and the finest food culture on earth — pizza, pasta, gelato and espresso in their original forms.
Italy is one of the world's great romantic destinations. Venice at dawn, a private villa in Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast by boat, truffle hunting in Umbria, a wine tasting in Barolo country — every region delivers for couples.
A mid-range daily budget is €100–€160 per person. Budget travellers can manage on €55–€75 with hostels and trattorias. Venice and the Amalfi Coast are the most expensive. Sicily and the south offer the best value.
