How many cities can I see in one trip?

Three to four over seven to ten days is a relaxed, rewarding pace. We can tailor a route from Rome to Florence and beyond.

Is Italy good for a honeymoon?

A classic - Venice, the Amalfi Coast and Tuscan villages are romantic by nature. We can shape an intimate route for two.

Do I need to book museums in advance?

Yes, for the Uffizi, Colosseum and Vatican in particular. We help arrange timed entry to skip the longest queues.

Italy - Renaissance Cities, Coastal Villages and the Art of Slow Travel

Italy is a country that turns daily life into an art form. Rome layers ancient ruins beneath café terraces; Florence holds the Renaissance in stone and marble; Venice drifts on water; and the Amalfi Coast clings to cliffs above a bright blue sea. It is a destination built for the senses - the light, the food, the design of a piazza and the unhurried Italian rhythm that makes a trip feel less like a schedule and more like a way of living.

Top attractions and experiences

Rome & the Colosseum

The Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon and Trastevere's lantern-lit lanes - a city where two thousand years sit side by side.

Florence & Tuscany

The Uffizi, the Duomo and the rolling Tuscan hills of Chianti, Siena and San Gimignano just beyond the city.

Venice

Canals, gondolas, St. Mark's Basilica and the quiet back-walks of a city unlike anywhere on earth.

The Amalfi Coast

Positano, Ravello and Amalfi - pastel villages stacked on cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Cinque Terre

Five pastel fishing villages linked by cliff trails and a coastal railway along the Ligurian shore.

Culture

From opera and Renaissance art to design, fashion and cinema, Italy's cultural life is woven through every town. Local festivals, market mornings and the ritual of the evening passeggiata are as much the experience as the monuments.

Scenery

Cypress-lined hills, vineyard terraces, cliff-side coastal roads and the golden light that has drawn painters here for centuries - Italy is a country made for slow looking.

Food

Fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, gelato, espresso and regional wine - eaten region by region, because Italian food is fiercely local and all the better for it.
