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.
