Impressions from Italy
“After eight years in the USA, we finally wanted to go on a typical trip to Italy again - child-friendly with three small children. Tourlane organized an all-round wonderful Tuscany revival for us - nothing was left to be desired. The surroundings and distances were perfectly chosen so that each of us got our money's worth.”

Practical information for your trip
The main travel season is the summer vacation period. However, spring and fall are considered the best times to visit Italy. Then the temperatures are pleasant and the number of visitors is lower.
The cost of a vacation in Italy typically starts at around $1,600 per person, per week (not including flights). This estimate covers accommodations in 3-star hotels, meals at mid-range restaurants, a compact rental car, and popular activities and experiences. Want a clearer picture of what to expect?

The official language in Italy is Italian. There are also other regional official languages: German and Ladin in South Tyrol, French in the Aosta Valley and Slovenian in parts of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Italian linguistic landscape is also characterized by numerous dialects, accents and regional differences in everyday language. The so-called language islands are also interesting. In small, remote villages, languages such as Greek, Catalan or Franco-Provençal are spoken by very small groups of speakers, mostly consisting of older people.
No special vaccinations are required for travel to Italy. Just make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date, as recommended by U.S. health authorities.
You should pack comfortable shoes for sightseeing in Italy. It gets hot in summer, so make sure you have adequate sun protection and airy clothing. For restaurants, bars, theaters, the opera and evening strolls through the city, it's fine to dress up.
Italy is famous for its variety of pizza and pasta, but the regional cuisine offers much more: in Milan, ossobuco with risotto is very popular, while in Sicily, arancini, golden-brown fried rice balls with various fillings, are among the specialties. A creamy tiramisù is a must for dessert.
