🇮🇹 Why Visit Italy?

• THE 2026 WINTER OLYMPICS!

• Milan: Italy’s fashion capital mixes historic cathedrals with chic urban energy—plus easy train access to Lake Como.

• Venice: Explore a floating city of winding canals, grand palaces, and timeless romance.

• Bologna: Food lovers rejoice—this medieval city is known for some of Italy’s best cuisine (and fewer tourists!).

• Florence: The cradle of the Renaissance—art, architecture, and incredible views from Piazzale Michelangelo.

• Rome: The Eternal City—wander from the Colosseum to Trastevere’s cobblestone alleys with espresso in hand.

• Naples: Vibrant street life, proximity to Pompeii, and the birthplace of true Neapolitan pizza.

   

What’s the Weather Like?

• September–October: Warm, golden autumn days—highs in the 70s–80s°F. Perfect for sightseeing without summer crowds.

• November–December: Cooler, festive atmosphere with highs in the 50s–60s°F. Great for holiday lights, markets, and cozy trattorias.

• January–March: Milder winter travel with highs in the 50s°F. Fewer tourists, lower prices, and crisp, clear days—ideal for city walks and museum visits.

First-Timer’s Tips for Italy

• Move city-to-city by train. Italy’s rail system is fast, easy, and scenic—perfect for visiting multiple cities in one trip.

• Stay central. Book hotels or Airbnbs within walking distance of the city center - it’s worth every penny to be near the piazzas and sights.

• Plan meals later. Dinner typically starts after 7:30 p.m. *slow down, enjoy long meals, and embrace Italy’s relaxed rhythm.

• Cash still matters. Some smaller cafés and shops prefer cash, especially outside big tourist hubs.

• Embrace the pace. Italy isn't meant to be rushed.  Leave space in your days for lingering, wandering, and spontaneous discoveries.

If you love art, food, history, or just beautiful chaos, Italy will feel like home the moment you arrive.
