Italy in a Week: Art Cities, Vineyards & La Dolce Vita
See Italy’s classic sights and regional highlights, with trip styles to match the pace.
Italy works particularly well for a 7-10 day break, giving you enough time for headline sights while still leaving room for the quieter pleasures that make a trip memorable. Picture a long lunch that runs into the afternoon, a quick market stop for local produce, or an evening stroll through a neighbourhood you didn’t plan to love. Options range from fully guided touring to self-guided and semi-independent styles, plus city explorer stays that keep you in one base with day trips. Some itineraries link Rome, Florence and Venice, while others concentrate on Sicily, Puglia, Tuscany, the Italian Lakes, or the Amalfi Coast. Many wider Europe journeys add nearby countries such as Austria, Switzerland or France, although the majority of your time is typically spent in Italy.
