Our Ultimate Italy Travel Guide

Is it any wonder travelers are so enamored with Italy? This country has perfected such objects of adoration as the cappuccino, the leather jacket, and the modern film—among so many others—and is home to some of the world's most important, iconic, and beautiful cities and landscapes, from flourishing golden vineyards to ancient ruins. And with Rome, Florence, and Venice among our readers' top-booked cities last summer, it's clear that you cannot get enough Italia.
