ITALY

Italy is a must-visit country and is one of the most-traveled destinations in Europe. There are so many highlights in this beautiful country — from the canals of Venice to the Tuscan wine lands to the cobblestone streets of Rome to the Arno river running through Florence to the cliffs of Positano… and beyond

Florence was one of my favorite cities because of the architecture and natural beauty— the sun setting over the Arno River is something you can’t soon forget.

Rome is one of the most iconic and most traveled cities in Europe and you could spend days getting lost in this magnificent destination. The most picturesque spots in Italy might just be Cinque Terre and all the stops along the Amalfi Coast. Positano is the gem of the Amalfi Coast and is arguably the most picturesque and most romantic town in the whole of Italy—here are the best things to do on the Amalfi Coast!

BEST TIME TO Visit

The cheapest time of year to visit Italy is in the winter. From December to March, the colder weather keeps most travelers at bay, and you can explore the country’s incredible museums and galleries to your heart’s content. You’ll also be in time for all the Christmas Markets and have an easier time finding cheap flights to Italy.

Another affordable period is between April and May, before the summer crowds arrive, and the countryside is covered in a blanket of blossoming flowers!

However, there really is no place like Italy in the summer. Even if it’s crowded, it’s-ah amazing!
