Italy, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe, is a country known for its iconic contributions to art, history, fashion, food, and music. Home to an incredible 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country is famed for monuments like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced artists and scholars such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who left an unparalleled cultural legacy. Internationally renowned for its cuisine, Italy is the land of pizza, pasta, and world-class wine, inviting its visitors to indulge in its rich and diverse gastronomic culture. The breathtaking landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the rustic charm of Tuscany offer a compelling blend of sightseeing delights and leisurely pursuits.

You'll meet like-minded travelers and hospitable Italian hosts who can introduce you to local traditions, share insider travel tips, and maybe even teach you a few Italian phrases. It's more than sightseeing, it's experiencing la dolce vita in its truest form.

Lovely country, safe environment and easy to meet new people. Plenty good voices overall. Lots of sightseeing opportunities, I went to Rome, Milan and Amalfi coast. Would love to visit again.

I don’t speak Italian but could easily manage with just English.

I travelled through Italy with my sister. We felt pretty safe most of the time. We visited Venice, Rome, Florence and Milan. Especially in Rome and Florence there was a lot of vegan food to enjoy. 
Always look out for student discount and sometimes you have to book museum tickets etc. in advance. Once a month there is usually a day where you can get into a lot of museums for free.

Travelled to Venice, Bologna, Florence, and Rome. Easy and cheap to go from one place to another on flixbus. Accommodation was quite expensive in every city. Rome was by far the most beautiful but we enjoyed every city. Easy to walk or use public transport. Food was nice and affordable

Best experience of my life! Lived in Italy for 3 years, in Chioggia, near Venice. Parents purchased a business and I got to travel a lot as countries are so close to each other! Met all my family, made life long friends and got to experience the culture first hand!
