Why Choose Italy Holidays?
Italy is a country where everyday life feels like an experience. Visitors can explore Roman ruins in the morning, admire Renaissance art in the afternoon and enjoy a long dinner filled with local dishes and conversation in the evening. Each region has its own traditions, flavours and pace, making every trip feel unique.
Holidays to Italy are ideal for travellers who want history and atmosphere in equal measure. Whether you’re wandering historic streets, visiting galleries or simply enjoying a coffee in a sun filled piazza, Italy invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Where to Go on Italy Holidays
Rome
Rome is a city unlike any other, where ancient history sits alongside modern Italian life. Visitors can step back in time at the Colosseum, once the stage for gladiator battles and explore the vast ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where emperors once ruled.
The city is also home to Vatican City, where highlights include St Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo’s ceiling. Away from the major landmarks, Rome rewards exploration with lively neighbourhoods, local trattorias and beautiful squares such as Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori.
Venice
Venice is one of the world’s most distinctive cities, built across a network of canals and islands. A visit to St Mark’s Square reveals some of Venice’s most famous sights, including St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, both rich in history and ornate detail.
Exploring Venice by boat is essential, whether by vaporetto along the Grand Canal or on a traditional gondola ride beneath the city’s bridges. Visitors can cross the Rialto Bridge, browse nearby markets or wander quieter districts such as Dorsoduro to experience a calmer side of the city.
Milan
Milan offers a different side of Italy, combining historic landmarks with modern style and creativity. The city’s most striking sight is the Duomo di Milano, an enormous Gothic cathedral crowned with intricate spires and rooftop views across the city.
Art lovers can visit Santa Maria delle Grazie to see Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, while fashion fans will enjoy exploring the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, home to luxury boutiques and classic cafes. Milan is also known for its food scene, vibrant nightlife and football culture, with San Siro Stadium hosting two of Italy’s biggest clubs.
