Or, read on to learn about the country's top sights.
Unforgettable scenery, rich history, fascinating culture and delicious
cuisine await on our Italy tours. Many trips spend time in Italy's
capital of
Rome,
where the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palantine Hill are popular stops.
Sightseeing may include a visit to St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine
Chapel in
Vatican City.
This year, the
27th Jubilee will attract many visitors to Rome
and Vatican City. The Jubilee is a centuries-old tradition that
typically takes place every 25 years and is a time of spiritual renewal
and celebration
. Most Jubilee
festivities will be held at St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's
Square.
In Northern Italy, glide down the canals of
Venice
in a gondola or see a demonstration of Venetian glassblowing. At the
heart of the city is Piazza San Marco, which houses St. Mark's
Cathedral, Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. Fashionable
Milan
is home to an endless selection of shops, as well as Leonardo da Vinci's
"The Last Supper."
The Italian Lake District runs along Italy's northern border with
Switzerland. Towns such as
Lake Como
and
Lake Maggiore
are backed by the Alps and offer tranquil shores, mild weather and
elegant resorts. Just south of the Lake District and fringing the
Ligurian Sea are the cliffside villages of the
Cinque Terre.
Stops in
Florence
offer a glimpse of Michelangelo's David, one of the most famous
sculptures in the world. Discover a massive collection of Renaissance
art at the Uffizi Galleries or amble along Piazza del Duomo to see
Florence Cathedral and Giotto's Campanile.
Tuscany's scenic countryside boasts coastal plains, rolling hills and
beautiful vineyards. Explore the walled medieval town of
San Gimignano
and its 14 stone towers, then head to
Pisa
for a picture with its famous Leaning Tower. Highlights in nearby
Siena
include the 13th-century marble cathedral and Piazza del Campo (host of
the Palio horse race twice a year).
The Campania region in Southern Italy stretches along the Tyrrhenian Sea
and includes the enchanting seaside towns of the
Amalfi Coast,
the excavated ruins of
Pompeii,
the glamorous isle of
Capri
with its Blue Grotto and vibrant
Naples,
where pizza was said to have been invented.
Just off the coast of Italy's southernmost tip is
Sicily,
the largest island in the Mediterranean. Cities like
Palermo
and
Agrigento
offer a host of historic treasures and ancient ruins that rival those of
Rome. On the eastern edge of the island is
Mount Etna,
the highest active volcano in Europe.
