Italy Travel Guide
It’s no secret that Italy is my favorite destination in Europe. I had the luxury of exploring the country with my family, so it holds a special place in my heart. From the romantic canals of Venice to the intoxicating wineries of Tuscany, there is so much to love about Italy. Food, wine, history, art, and culture all come together to make it the perfect travel destination.
With its impressive architecture and delicious restaurants, Florence is perhaps my favorite city in Italy. And I’m not alone. Florence is consistently rated one of the best cities in Europe and the world. The gorgeous views along the Arno River and the iconic Duomo make Florence an unbeatable location.
But after a full week in the country, I felt like I only scratched the surface. Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast offer the most picturesque destinations. Rome is iconic. And there are so many hidden gems in between.
News: The King’s Travel has named Italy one of the best places to travel in 2023!

the best time to visit
If you’re on a budget or looking to avoid crowds, go during the winter. You can also go during spring to catch the blossoming flowers and avoid peak tourist season.
But let’s be honest. Italy is beautiful during the summer, especially if you want to visit Cinque Terre or Amalfi’s beaches. The country comes alive in summer. The wine grapes are nearing harvest. There’s a reason so many people visit in the summer.
