Italy Travel Guide

Italy rewards picking a region rather than trying to see the whole country at once — Rome's ancient ruins, Florence's Renaissance art, and Venice's canals are each dense enough to fill several days on their own, and trains connect them efficiently.

Italy

Ancient ruins sit in the middle of ordinary traffic circles, the Colosseum and Roman Forum are a short walk from Renaissance piazzas, and nearly three thousand years of history are layered into a city that still runs on espresso and long lunches.

Venice

Italy

Venice is built across more than 100 small islands in a lagoon, with canals standing in for streets and boats for cars — a UNESCO World Heritage historic center where marble palaces and mosaic-covered basilicas still line the Grand Canal from the city's centuries as a maritime republic.
