Direct flights are available from New York, Miami, Atlanta and Philadelphia to Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa airports, covering the transoceanic route in a time frame of about 8 to 10 hours.

Considering the duration of the trip, a package tour to Italy departing from the United States should last at least a week, although to enjoy an ideal experience it is suggested to book one lasting at least ten days.

What is the best month to travel to Italy?

Italy is a country characterized by a generally mild, Mediterranean-type climate. It is therefore possible to visit at any time of year without risking extreme temperatures.

Even in Italy, however, winters can be relatively harsh, while summers can be torrid, as well as very crowded since it is generally favored as a vacation time.

It is therefore advisable, in order to enjoy a better experience, to visit Italy in the intermediate seasons: in spring (March to mid-June) and in autumn (between September and October), avoiding at least August in any case.

How many days in Italy is enough?

To visit Italy in a complete way would require a really long period.

However, especially for those coming from afar, it is possible, thanks to a specially designed tour package, to focus on at least the most famous art cities such as Venice, Florence and Rome, which can be visited in one week.

In two weeks, you can also focus on somewhat less touristy places and unique experiences such as an unforgettable Cinque Terre Yacht Tour or discover the Lake Como area while tasting local wine.

However, for an ideal experience in Italy, it would be good to plan at least three or four weeks of travel. In this way, it will be possible to visit most of the peninsula and also spend some time on the two main islands, Sicily and Sardinia.

All Inclusive Italy tours, what are the limits and why it is better to choose a tailor-made trip

An All Inclusive Tour to Italy is extremely convenient and allows the tourist to visit the main centers of interest of the peninsula without having to incur organizational stress and possible unforeseen events.

Those who do not find their ideal itinerary, with the timing that suits them best, within the tour packages offered on the web can instead choose a tailor-made trip to Italy.

A tailor-made trip to Italy will be tailor-made to the needs of the traveler, both in terms of itinerary and travel style. The available budget will also be agreed upon with the tourist.

A tailor-made trip to Italy will be able to offer virtually the same freedom as an unorganized experience, but at the same time it will allow for some comfortable certainties, such as staff support.

Vacation packages in Italy, many ideas for all tastes

There are undoubtedly vacation packages to Italy for all tastes and budgets. Another discriminator is the length of the trip, which can vary greatly from tourist to tourist.

With only a few days to spare, a well-done vacation package may focus on a single area of Italy or a single city.

At the same time, for those who prefer to “check off the list” the major art cities in Italy, it is possible in one package to visit Venice, Florence and Rome.

For example, a 5-day Rome Italy vacation package allows you to comfortably visit the Colosseum and the center of Ancient Rome, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, while also leaving room for relaxation and perhaps a boat ride on the Tiber.

For those who like to get around on two wheels, there are dedicated vacation packages. An example would be a 5- to 7-day package dedicated to Tuscany, in which to travel by bicycle among the Chianti areas. This will allow tourists to combine a passion for sporting activity with visits to the historical and natural beauty of Florence and Siena.

Another circumscribed itinerary suitable for a short stay could be dedicated to northern Italy, between Turin, Milan and the more glamorous areas of Lake Como.
