Italy is everything you’ve heard, and a lot more. From the ancient ruins of Rome to the romantic canals of Venice, and the Renaissance treasures of Florence to the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, it's a country that delivers history, art, food, and flair in spades.
But it’s not all postcard-perfect classics. You can hike cliffside trails in Cinque Terre, wander ancient cave dwellings in Matera, or ski dramatic peaks in the Dolomites.
Rough Guides’ tailor-made travel in Italy puts local experts in charge of the logistics, so you can focus on what really matters, experiencing Italy your way.

Things to know before your Italy trip
What does a trip to Italy look like?−
A typical Italy itinerary might start in Rome, where you can explore the Colosseum, Vatican City, and buzzing trattorias in Trastevere. Then it’s off to Florence for world-class art and Tuscan wine tours, and on to Venice, gliding through its canals by gondola or vaporetto.
But it’s the lesser-known stops that often steal the show: hiking coastal trails in Cinque Terre, marveling at the cave-city of Matera, or skiing and spa-hopping in the Dolomites. Every trip is built around what you want to see, skip, or explore deeper.
