Italy
Discover Italy’s timeless beauty, from historic cities and artistic treasures to coastal escapes, vineyards, and mindful journeys. Plan your trip with top destinations, travel tips, food, wine & authentic experiences.

Italy is a country where history, culture, and landscapes merge into a living masterpiece. From the romantic canals of Venice to the rolling hills of Tuscany, every region tells a unique story. Ancient ruins in Rome whisper of empires past, while Florence dazzles with Renaissance art and architecture. Along the Amalfi Coast, colorful villages cling to cliffs above the Mediterranean, and Sicily and Sardinia reveal traditions as vibrant as their sun-soaked shores.

Beyond its world-famous landmarks, Italy thrives in the details of everyday life. The aroma of fresh espresso in a piazza, the joy of sharing pasta with family, the rhythm of an evening passeggiata through narrow streets — these are the moments that define its spirit. Italy invites travelers not just to see, but to feel: to savor flavors, embrace traditions, and reconnect with a slower, more mindful way of living. Whether it’s your first visit or a return to beloved places, Italy always offers something new to discover.

Best time to visit

The best time to visit Italy is spring (April–June) and fall (September–October), when the weather is pleasant and cities are less crowded. Summer (July–August) is popular for beaches and festivals but can be very hot in cities. Winter offers charm in destinations like the Dolomites for skiing, or Rome and Florence with fewer tourists and festive markets.

Currency & Money

Italy uses the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but cash is useful for small cafés, local markets, or transport. ATMs are common.

Tipping is not obligatory, but rounding up the bill or leaving some change is appreciated, especially in restaurants and cafés.
