As one of the most popular destinations in Europe, Italy can be expensive if you visit in the peak season (summer). Opt to travel between October through May/June and you’ll avoid the crowds and save on flights and accommodation. Take advantage of the affordable public transit and efficient train system to travel in between towns and cities. Set aside some time to visit the countryside and you’ll soak up authentic Italian culture and also save money.

Italy is well-connected with both a national train network (Trenitalia) and a high speed one (Le Frecce). Or sit back and let us take care of everything and book one of our exciting Italy holiday packages.
