Italy

Of all the countries in the world, there is none more magical than Italy. In few places do history, art, fashion, food and la dolce vita (the good life) intermingle so effortlessly. Italy is so packed with attractions that it’s hard to know where to start. Italy has the most UNESCO world heritage sites in the world to see. This is where we plan on helping.

Will visit the world’s greatest hoard of art treasures (many on display in fittingly spectacular cities and buildings); will immerse ourselves in the cultural legacy: Tuscany alone has more classified historical monuments than any country in the world; there are considerable remnants of the Roman Empire all over the country, notably in Rome itself.

Yet if all you want to do is chill out, there’s no reason to be put off will make sure this vacation has plenty of opportunity to just lie on a beach, from the resorts filled with regimented rows of sunbeds and umbrellas favoured by the Italians themselves, to secluded and less developed spots. And if you’re looking for an active holiday, there’s no better place: mountains run the country’s length – from the Alps and Dolomites in the north right along the Apennines, which form the spine of the peninsula; will hike and bike; and see wildlife of all sorts thrive in the country’s national parks.

Most important of all for many, a delicious and authentic national cuisine which will help you savour and learn how to cook while cleansing the palate touring and sampling Italy’s many wine regions.

Areas and regions will be discovering will include Tuscany, Veneto, Lazio, Campania, Sardinia or Sicily. Starting in the capital city of Rome you’ll discover the only city that contains a state within it’s city walls. Vatican City the home to Catholicism you’ll see and experience the rich history of this religion. Rome’s historic city centre was chosen as a world heritage site mainly for its ancient Roman landmarks. Rome is full of ancient landmarks including the Colosseum, roman baths, ancient markets, and other monuments. The UNESCO world heritage tag also includes the religious and public buildings of the Holy see or papal Rome, in Vatican City. From Rome to the Tuscan region which is located in central Italy and stretches from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s cities like Florence, artistic heritage and beautiful vistas make this a must see while in Italy. Will travel to the northeast and visit the most incredible, interesting and most lovely cities in the world Venice. Venice is the world’s only pedestrian city so there are no cars or vehicles. It is also easily walkable which is very enjoyable with the absence of cars. If you don’t feel like walking then take a watertaxi. Will either explore the island of Sicily or Sardinia where you’ll be able to enjoy the Mediterranean sea and it’s pristine waters and incredible beaches. With it’s amazing landscapes and sunrises and sunsets you’ll never want to leave.
