Italy Holiday Guide
Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country — and more to see, eat and experience than almost anywhere on earth. Rome's ancient ruins, Florence's Renaissance art, Venice's canals, the Amalfi Coast's dramatic cliffs, Sicily's Greek temples and the Italian Lakes' extraordinary beauty make it one of the world's great travel destinations.
Rome is the essential starting point — the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. Two thousand years of history in a city that is also one of the world's great food and nightlife destinations. Three days is the minimum; a week is better.
The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world — a 50km stretch of dramatic cliffs, pastel-coloured villages, lemon groves and turquoise sea. Positano, Ravello and Amalfi itself are among the most beautiful towns in Europe. Best visited in May, June or September — July and August are very crowded and very hot.
Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance — the Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo's David, Brunelleschi's Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio are extraordinary. The Tuscan countryside — rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards and medieval hilltop towns — is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe.
Venice is one of the most extraordinary cities ever built — 118 islands connected by 400 bridges, with no cars and no roads. Best visited in spring or autumn to avoid the summer crowds and the acqua alta flooding.
Sardinia has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe — the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda and the dramatic cliffs of the Golfo di Orosei. Sicily is one of the most extraordinary islands in the Mediterranean — Greek temples, Baroque towns, Mount Etna and extraordinary food.
The best time to visit Italy is April to June and September to October — warm, sunny and with fewer crowds than July and August. We search across Travelpack, Emirates Holidays and JTA Holidays for the best deals, with the FIBI discount applied automatically.

The ancient ruins, Renaissance art, dramatic coastlines and extraordinary food that make Italy one of the world's greatest and most rewarding travel destinations.
Rome — The Eternal City
Rome is one of the world's great cities — the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. Two thousand years of history in a city that is also one of the world's great food and nightlife destinations.
Amalfi Coast — Europe's Most Dramatic Coastline
The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world — a 50km stretch of dramatic cliffs, pastel-coloured villages, lemon groves and turquoise sea. Positano, Ravello and Amalfi itself are among the most beautiful towns in Europe. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Florence & Tuscany — Renaissance Art
Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance — the Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo's David, Brunelleschi's Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio are extraordinary. The Tuscan countryside — rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards and medieval hilltop towns — is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe.
Venice — The Floating City
Venice is one of the most extraordinary cities ever built — 118 islands connected by 400 bridges, with no cars and no roads. The Grand Canal, St Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace and the gondola rides are iconic. Best visited in spring or autumn to avoid the summer crowds.
Italian Food & Wine
Italy has the world's greatest food culture — regional cuisines that vary dramatically from north to south. Neapolitan pizza, Bolognese ragu, Venetian cicchetti, Sicilian arancini, Florentine bistecca and the extraordinary wines of Tuscany, Piedmont and Sicily. Every meal is an event.
Sardinia — Italy's Best Beaches
Sardinia has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe — the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda, the pink sands of Spiaggia Rosa and the dramatic cliffs of the Golfo di Orosei. The island is also home to extraordinary ancient nuraghe stone towers and excellent food.
Italian Lakes — Alpine Beauty
Lake Como, Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore are among the most beautiful destinations in Europe — dramatic Alpine scenery, elegant villas, beautiful gardens and charming lakeside towns. Lake Como is the most glamorous; Lake Garda is the most family-friendly; Lake Maggiore is the most peaceful.
Sicily — Ancient History & Extraordinary Food
Sicily is one of the most extraordinary islands in the Mediterranean — Greek temples at Agrigento and Selinunte, the extraordinary Baroque towns of the Val di Noto, Mount Etna, the Aeolian Islands and a food culture that is quite different from mainland Italy. Palermo's street food is extraordinary.
