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.

Best time to visit

April to June, or September to October — summer (July–August) brings heat and the biggest crowds.
