10 Days in Italy: Our Recommendations

One of the best ways to explore a country is from the seat of your bike. If you have 9 days in Italy, why not cycle through some of Italy’s most stunning natural vistas in the gorgeous heart of the Cilento National Park? For the first couple of days, you’ll cruise along the coast, stopping off at medieval fishing villages and, of course, the ancient Greek town (and UNESCO world heritage site) of Paestum!  Then you’ll head further into the Cilento National Park where you’ll encounter rolling foothills, historic cave churches, and castles along the way! This itinerary is perfect for travelers who like to stay active on their holidays. See tour

If you're planning to spend 10 days in Italy, this unique tour will guide you through the mysteries of Northern Italy and have you itching to learn more about the region’s history as you come face to face with figures like Casanova and Christ or puzzling over the implications of the Genesis mystery with the scholars who have devoted their lives to it. But don’t worry, just because you’re spending time searching for truth in Italy’s arcane triangle doesn’t mean there won't be time to island hop, explore Italy’s medieval cities, and enjoy some freshly made Italian food on this 10 day trip to Italy!

If you’ve got 10 days in Italy, this itinerary will take you through the greatest hits and sites you don’t want to miss. Start with three days in Rome to take in all the best sights — the Vatican, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Pantheon. After a scenic train ride, you’ll be in Florence, where you can sip Tuscan wine and soak in the artistic and architectural treasures of this Renaissance city. In Venice, ride through the canals on the iconic gondolas before heading to Milan to climb to the top of the Duomo Cathedral for some gorgeous city views. See tour

This 10-day Italy experience does not let up for a moment. Having drifted past the palazzos of Venice's Grand Canal on an unforgettable gondola ride, you will swap life jackets for walking shoes amid the stunning coastal vistas around La Spezia, gateway to the pastel-colored villages of Cinque Terre. Pisa's leaning tower and the renaissance mansions of Florence provide perfect stop offs before the narrow alleys in the ancient hilltop bastion of Perugia. But no Italian odyssey is complete without taking in the spellbinding sights of Rome, from the Colosseum to the majesty of St Peter's Basilica. See tour
