About Italy
Italy is one of the world's most visited countries, and for good reason. Rome's ancient Colosseum and Vatican City, Florence's Renaissance masterpieces including Michelangelo's David and the Uffizi Gallery, Venice's romantic canals, and the stunning Amalfi Coast offer an unmatched concentration of art, history, and natural beauty.
Italian cuisine and wine are legendary -- from Neapolitan pizza and fresh pasta in Bologna to Tuscan wines and Sicilian street food, every region has its own culinary identity. With excellent train connections between cities and a warm Mediterranean climate, Italy rewards both first-time visitors and those returning for the tenth time.
