Italy is consistently one of the most popular destinations in Europe, and a vacation here will leave you enchanted by its history, art, landscapes and cuisine. Many itineraries explore Italy only, while others spend time in Italy as part of a longer trip around Europe.
Learn about the art and antiquities of Rome, from the Colosseum to the Sistine Chapel, where Michaelangelo's ceiling paintings float above visitors. See where Roman legions once marched and where gladiators fought to the death. Sightseeing often includes St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
In addition to Rome, many trips visit Florence, Venice or Milan. Stops in Florence might give you a glimpse of Michelangelo's David, one of the most famous sculptures in the world. You can glide down the canals of Venice in a gondola or watch a demonstration of Venetian glassblowing. Discover the Tuscan countryside or window-shop in fashionable Milan.
