Your First Italy Trip Starts Here

Hi Friend,

Your first Italy trip should leave you with time to enjoy the places you came to see. Rome, Florence, and Venice make a rewarding starting point, but choosing the route is only part of the planning. The right hotels, sightseeing arrangements, and travel days matter too. This week, I’m sharing our Big 3 tour and a few ideas for making that first visit feel personal.

See you in Italy,

Why Your First Italy Trip Won’t Be Your Last

A first trip often starts with Italy’s famous cities. It can also leave you thinking about the villages, regions, and local experiences you want to return for. Read our ideas for making your first visit the beginning of a longer relationship with Italy.

Experience Italy Like a Local

A café stop, a neighborhood walk, or a conversation over lunch can become a favorite memory. Our article looks at the everyday experiences that help you connect with Italy beyond its best-known sights.

Plan Your Own Custom Trip to Italy & Western Europe

Pair your first Italy trip with Paris and Versailles.

After Rome, Florence, and Venice, you could add a few days in Paris for neighborhood cafés, museums, and a visit to Versailles. We can help you decide how much time to allow in each country and build a complete Italy-and-France vacation around the experiences you most want to enjoy.
