Italy, from ancient Rome to la dolce vita
501 activities · 50 cities
Italy brings together art, history and the pleasures of the table. Between two museums, you sip an espresso at the bar, taste an artisan gelato and wander lively squares.
Rome takes the lead role with the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Vatican. Florence, Venice, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast complete the trip if you have more time.
Things to do in Italy range from guided tours of ancient sites to lake cruises and cooking classes. In Rome, a visit to the Colosseum, the Forum and Palatine Hill is a must.

Frequently asked questions: Italy
What are the best places to visit in Italy?
Rome, Florence and Venice form the classic trio. Add Tuscany, Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast or the northern lakes depending on your interests.
When is the best time to visit Italy?
Spring and fall bring mild weather for city sightseeing. Summer suits the seaside, with more heat and bigger crowds at the famous sights.
How do you travel around Italy by train?
High-speed trains link Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan and Naples. You hop from city center to city center without a car.
What can you do in Italy with kids?
The Colosseum and its gladiators, Venice's gondolas, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the beaches appeal to children. Artisan gelato does the rest.
Northern or southern Italy: which should you choose?
The north offers the lakes, the Dolomites, Venice and Milan. The south features Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Puglia and Sicily, with a warmer climate.
