Where to Go on Your Tour of Italy?
Rome
Every traveler should experience the wonder of Eternal City. During your visit, wind your way to the heart of Rome where the Colosseum has welcomed crowds since 80 AD. This iconic arena could accommodate up to 87,000 people in its heyday, making it the biggest amphitheater in the world to date. Speak to your Tourlane Travel Expert if you’re interested in a guided tour.
If you’re interested in history and architecture, visit the iconic Parthenon - a temple that has inspired so many subsequent monuments. Enter through the Corinthian columns to stand beneath the 27-foot oculus. Inside, you’ll see evidence of the temple’s history, as both a Pagan and Catholic house of worship, in the statues of Roman gods and biblical figures.
Sicily
Sicily is a wonderful mix of influences and yet distinctly itself. As you tour the mountainous heel off Italy’s southern boot, expect to see an eclectic mix of ancient Greek temples, Norman Castles, and Baroque frescos mixed in with colorful fishing villages and remote hilltop towns. Unsurprisingly, the island is home to world-class seafood and more vineyards than any other part of Italy, making it a natural destination for foodies.
Tuscany
Art, food, and landscape—who could want more? Tuscany, the central region of Italy, has it all. Visit Michelangelo’s David in Florence, hunt truffles in the forests of San Miniato, and tour vineyards in Siena. Climb the 297 steps to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the most iconic and perplexing structure in Pisa’s cathedral complex. Be sure to enjoy some papa al pomodoro—a rich tomato stew that is the quintessential Tuscan comfort food.
Venice
This famous floating city in the Adriatic Sea is where the roads are waterways and life is beautiful. Set sail on a gondola ride or explore intimate back allies and the Grand Canal on foot. Pass Harry’s bar, where the Bellini was invented, and continue east to explore the royal gardens. Make time for a picture on the Bridge of Sighs and finish your day with a candlelight dinner of spaghetti alle vongole - a delicious pasta dish with clams that is particularly popular in this part of the world.

The culinary scene in Italy is world-famous and worth visiting for in its own right.

Visit the nearby city of Modena to find the home of balsamic vinegar, and the city of Parma for delicious prosciutto ham. If you’re interested in wine tours and tasting, Sicily is the region with the most vineyards. You’ll find top-quality establishments across the country, including in the Chianti region in Tuscany.
