Italy
Italy rewards slow travel. Art cities, coastline, mountains and food regions all sit close together, and the train network makes it simple to combine them.
Best time · April to June and September to OctoberSuggested length · 10 to 14 nights for three cities plus a coast or countryside stay
Where should you go?
- Rome, Florence and Venice for the classic first trip
- The Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre for coastline
- Tuscany and Umbria for countryside
- Milan and the northern lakes
What should you do?
- Book major museums and galleries in advance
- Base yourself in one region rather than crossing the country twice
- Take a regional train instead of driving where you can
What should you eat or experience?
- Food is regional: what you eat in Bologna is not what you eat in Naples or Palermo
- Lunch is often better value than dinner at the same restaurant
Where is a good area to stay?
- Stay central in the smaller cities and slightly outside the centre in Rome and Milan
- In Tuscany, a single countryside base beats moving every night
When should you visit?
April to June and September to October. August is hot and many local businesses close.
How long should you spend there?
10 to 14 nights for three cities plus a coast or countryside stay.
