Italy

Italy really is a feast for the senses. Browse our travel and food guides to discover how to experience the best of Italy!

While Rome’s nightlife is a major draw for history buffs and Florence a hub for art and cuisine, other less famous regions of Italy have much to inspire travellers.

In the “heel of the boot” in Puglia, Italy’s stunning scenery includes bustling cities, rustic countrysides, gorgeous lake resorts, beautiful coastal beach destinations and fascinating inland villages.

Fall wine festivals such as the Festival of San Martino (patron saint of winemaking) are well worth attending.
