That's Italy

Italy at a glance

Italy, a land that boasts some of the world’s most magnificent works of art, architecture, and gastronomy, has a unique power to elate, inspire, and move like no other destination.

Exploring Italy demands an enchanting blend of art treasures, historic landmarks, and culinary delights. Amidst the wealth of UNESCO sites, iconic paintings and sculptures, and a tantalizing array of regional cuisine and wines, crafting a luxury Italy tour can be overwhelming. Unless, of course, you have a knowledgeable Inescape Travel consultant to guide you through the myriad choices offered by this boot-shaped marvel.

Wherever your Italy tours lead, picturesque al fresco cafes, wine bars, and restaurants are perfect respites to enjoy a carafe of wine, a dark espresso, and biscotti. Italy’s culinary repertoire extends far beyond pasta and pizza; savor fresh seafood infused with unique local flavors, sample arancini, polenta, and osso buco. Italy caters to the sweet tooth with an astounding array of dolci (desserts) that includes favorites like tiramisu and gelato, as well as mouthwatering sorbets, cannoli, and zabaglione. Enthusiasts can also partake in cooking classes, tasting menus, produce markets, truffle hunts, and culinary tours that delve deep into the heart of gastronomic Italy.

Italy may be one of Europe’s most-visited countries, but mastering the canals of Venice, discovering the best gelato spot in Rome, and distinguishing agnello from agnolotti are skills best learned from locals. Our Italy tours and holidays immerse you in the essence of Italian life, from strolling down cobbled city backstreets to exploring ancient walled villages in pursuit of la dolce vita. Once here, the possibilities are endless, whether it’s tasting balsamic vinegar in a traditional acetaia in Modena, sailing past pastel-hued cliffside villages on the Amalfi Coast, sampling local wines in Tuscany’s vineyards, or admiring lesser-known Renaissance art in Florence. One thing is certain: you won’t go hungry.

Traveling through Italy unlocks the door to the land of la dolce vita, where locals revel in a lifestyle of scrumptious food, high fashion, and rich traditions.

Things To Do In Italy

Begin your Italian adventure with the country’s most iconic landmarks. Stand in awe of the Colosseum’s grandeur and immerse yourself in the vibrant, labyrinthine streets of Rome. Within this ancient-modern capital lies Vatican City, home to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, among other treasures. Florence beckons with some of the finest Italian Renaissance art, while its Mercato Centrale Firenze invites you to savor different olive oils and an exquisite selection of prosciutto. Dedicate a few days to explore the charming vineyards and agricultural wonders of Tuscany’s countryside. Nearby Emilia-Romagna is renowned for its tantalizing offerings, from Mortadella Bologna to cured Parma ham and Parmesan cheese.

Romantic Venice embodies the grandeur of this culturally rich country, yet there are numerous lesser-known, equally magical destinations. From Siena to Lucca, Italy boasts well-preserved medieval cities with characteristic central squares and grand duomos. In southern Italy, explore the coastal city of Sorrento, surrounded by majestic mountains, before venturing to the Amalfi Coast, where forested cliffs and charming villages create a breathtaking panorama. Alternatively, visit the excavated ruins of Pompeii, explore the medieval castles and churches of Naples, or escape to the laid-back way of life on the Isle of Capri.

Cruise along canals, wander through piazzas, venture to the Vatican, and savor the perfect pizza.

  • See Michelangelo's frescoed ceiling in the Sistine Chapel

    One of the most important structures of the Catholic faith, the Vatican City’s Sistine Chapel is a must-see on a tour of Italy. Though the chapel walls have witnessed centuries of worship, it’s the renaissance ceiling paintings of Michelangelo that will leave you in awe.

  • Visit the glamorous Isle of Capri

    Enjoy the classic Italian summer in Italy’s picture-perfect Gulf of Naples. Famed for its crystal grottos, dramatic coastlines and endless glamour, our trips to Italy are complete with a day of freedom spent under a striped umbrella, watching sailboats pass by.

  • Cruise your way through Venice

    The charm found in the canals of Venice is nothing short of irresistible. Admire gothic palaces and postcard bridges whilst adrift in a gondola, gaining an understanding of life in a city that floats. Exploring a city by foot will never be the same after a trip to Venice.

  • Go shopping in Italy's fashion capital Milan

    Armani, Gucci, Prada and Versace. These are some of the prestigious fashion brands that call the Italian city of Milan home. In between yearning through boutiques and department stores, stop to sample the city’s delicacies like breaded veal cutlet and ossobuco.

  • Journey to the well-preserved ruins of Pompeii

    An unfathomable history lesson is found in the archaeological ruins of Pompeii. Buried and preserved by the ash of a volcano eruption in the year 79, in this Italian town you will discover the progressive life of early Roman times as you walk within the parameters of an open-air time capsule of life on Earth.

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Italy is during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), when the temperatures are comfortable and there are fewer crowds. Wildflowers in early April and rising temperatures through to the end of June are a real draw.
