Few places
dazzle and overload your senses like Italy, where every
region teases, tempts, and delivers something memorable.
You’re booked to roam in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Vatican
City, but to appreciate smaller pockets of pleasure, slow
your roll or curb your flow by securing a relaxing gondola
ride. Or lace-up your sneakers or trainers for an authentic
walking tour, stopping along side streets to share goodwill
with friendly locals.
