Skiing in the alps, boating on glacial lakes in the north, scarfing down pasta and gelato and countless other treats, touring unique cities built on water or built on fashion or built nearly 2,800 years ago, Italy offers something for every traveler.

Venice is a city unlike any other, centered on its canals, and with islands in its lagoon known for producing lace and blown glass. Milan is a fashion capital and just a short drive away from the sublime Lake Como. Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and gateway to the vineyards and olive trees of Tuscany. Rome is the home of the Colosseum, the Vatican and other remnants that it was once the world’s most powerful city.

Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast are dramatic cliffside retreats with magnificent ocean views. With more coastline than any other region of Italy and charming villages all around, Puglia grows in popularity by the year.
