Italy is a vast and diverse country, with limitless options for fun and entertainment. You can take a culture trip, a culinary one, or go on an active adventure - no matter where you travel in Italy, you will enjoy delicious food and drink, reasonable prices, and fun in historic places.
A vacation in Italy will be the highlight of your journeys. Whether on a family vacation or with friends, you can stay in vacation homes and have a great time. The country is well known for its friendly locals, great food and beautiful nature. There are plenty of cultural sites to visit. Here are some ideas for your travel itinerary in Italy.
Having a great journey: Arriving and getting around in Italy
Italy is a great place to vacation, and easy to fly in from several international airports. If you are coming to northern Italy, Milan has three accessible airports. Its direct railway system connects travelers to the provincial train and inner city metro. From the airports, it is also easy to hire a car to get to your Italy vacation rentals. You can drive the entire length of the country, going through small villages along the way. There are endless spots to discover. Drive to the coast and stay at a beach house for a full day of fun.
Cuisine/gastronomy: Eating your way through Italy
Besides the usual pizza and pasta, try some of the lesser-known local culinary favorites, such as Sicilian arancini. From your Italy vacation rentals, it is easy to find restaurants that serve the typical fresh produce. Try seasonal fare and a more authentic experience of an Agriturismo. These are restaurants that use produce directly from the farms. The food portions will also be larger here. So eat up and enjoy the laid-back and traditional atmosphere. In the coastal villages, traditionally-prepared fish and seafood is delicious. Your Italy vacation home will also be equipped with kitchens for self-catering.
What’s the weather like in Italy?
Italy has a mild, Mediterranean climate. Many people travel here just for the sunshine. They come mostly in the warm summer months, but early spring is also ideal. You will have lower prices and share the sights with less tourists. From May to July, the climate is the hottest, so be sure to bring sunscreen. The days are long and you can spend your time doing anything you like. Water sports around Italy’s lake areas are most popular in the summer. Try visiting Lake Garda or Lake Como. If you come during the winter months, you can enjoy skiing or snowboarding in the Alps. There are plenty of options for Italy vacation rentals in the ski resort towns. If you come with kids, try Madesimo and Bormio in the Lombardia region.
Sights to see when traveling in Italy
Italy is full of ancient art, and some of the best museums in the world. Popular places include Milan in the north, Florence further south, or Rome near the center. Don’t miss a trip to Venice to see the city on water, or take the kids to the giant aquarium in Genova, a port city. There are plenty of Italy vacation rental options here. Taking a boat in the south will bring you to smaller islands with idyllic towns and beaches.
Activities with children in Italy
Italy is a great place to enjoy nature with your kids. Near your Italy vacation rental, ride bikes to explore hidden trails, paths and nature parks. There are plenty of farmlands with goats, sheep and horses. Or try horseback riding in the countryside. For a more adventurous outing with the kids, try hiking the ancient donkey trails by foot. They are usually marked and you can pick up maps of the trails in the local newspaper stores. For something more relaxing, hit the coast for a full day at the beach. Of course, kids will love eating and discovering all the good food to be had in Italy - including gelato, traditional Italian ice cream! Having a vacation home will allow you to relax in comfort, preparing your own meals or snacks. You'll find it's great having a home away from home to come back to.
For the best experience traveling with your family in Italy, choose a vacation rental or apartment. This allows you to travel at your own pace and schedule, enjoying more of the beautiful country. Italy is the perfect place to enjoy all the vacation perks - from its pleasant climate to delicious food and regional wines. Plus, there's the easygoing personality of the friendly locals. You can take it all in from the comfort of your Italy vacation home.
