    Know Before You Go: Italy

    Best Time of Year to Travel to Italy

    Italy enchants in every season, offering something special no matter when you visit. Spring and fall are perfect for mild weather, colourful landscapes, and fewer crowds, ideal for leisurely strolls through history-soaked cities. Summer brings lively festivals and sun-drenched coastlines, inviting travellers to embrace Italy’s energy at its fullest. Winter reveals a quieter side, with festive holiday markets, cozy trattorias, and snow-capped mountains in the north. Whether you're chasing sunshine along the Amalfi Coast, marvelling at Renaissance art in Florence, or skiing in the Dolomites, Italy is always ready to impress.

    Travelling Italy by Train

    Italy’s train system is a practical and scenic way to explore the country. Routes connect major destinations, including Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples, with frequent departures and central stations. Tickets are easy to book online or at kiosks, and travelling by rail means skipping traffic while enjoying stunning views along the way.

    Top Cities to Visit in Italy

    Rome is a must for ancient ruins, Florence showcases Renaissance masterpieces, and Venice’s canals are world-famous for a reason. Milan offers cutting-edge fashion and design, while the Amalfi Coast delivers breathtaking views. Tuscany’s vineyards provide the perfect countryside retreat, and Sicily’s deep-rooted traditions add a distinct charm. And when you’re ready to explore Italy’s lesser-known gems, Collette’s expert guides can show you the way.

    It was all excellent. Our leader was extremely professional. All the visits were excellent. Honestly, I enjoyed interacting with the other tourists and our manager as much as anything else. Our manager / leader was Ben. We can only periodically afford a trip such as this. But in a year or so I’d be glad to hear if Ben is leading any other tours. This is all new to me. My wife planned all of this.

    There were so many great experiences. The train rides. The lakes, the tours. It all was so memorable. Being able to see the Matterhorn was definitely a highlight. The only thing I would say is maybe stay more than one night in St. Moritz. You get there later in the afternoon and cannot really enjoy all it has to offer.

    Our tour director, Chiara Brandi, was excellent. She went over and above to help us to make our trip enjoyable. The memorable moment was to visit the church in Venice and get there with the help of Chiara. It was a bucket list I had. The food and tiramisu was excellent. The sightseeing places, Verona, Murano Island, Asolo, The Dolomites(very beautiful), All the winery Tours, experiencing prosecco and grapps, and eating and touring a Venetian Villa. All this is memorable to me.

    My favorite part was the Impact Moments with tours of the farms, watching them make cheese and meals in the farm house. But the grandeur and splendor of the Alps and the Dolomites was breathtaking. I’ll take the small towns any day over the big cities. Strudel Fest was the very best with the food and local music.

    Italy Travel FAQs

    U.S. citizens do not need a visa for stays in Italy under 90 days. However, starting in 2025, U.S. travellers will need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorization before visiting.

    It depends on what your goals and interests are! Check out this blog to learn more about the right time and place for you.

    Yes, Italy is generally a safe country for travellers. When you travel with a trusted tour operator like Collette, you benefit from our expert Tour Managers and 24/7 Emergency Response Team.

    The flight duration from the United States to Italy depends on your departure city. Here are some estimates:

    • East Coast (New York, Washington, D.C.): Around 8 to 9 hours

    • West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco): Around 12 to 13 hours

    • Average flight time → About 11 hours

    Collette’s expertly crafted tours ensure effortless travel in Italy, from high-speed trains to scenic drives through Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast.

    The ideal trip length depends on what you want to see! A 7 to 10-day trip lets you explore major cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice at a relaxed pace. If you want a deeper dive into Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, or Sicily, consider 10 to 14 days.

    Italy is card-friendly, but carrying some cash is useful for small purchases, taxis, and places that don’t accept cards — especially in rural areas.

    Travelling to Italy with dietary restrictions is manageable and enjoyable! Many restaurants are accommodating and offer a variety of naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. Please communicate any dietary needs when you book your tour. You should also share dietary restrictions with your Tour Manager once they contact you before the trip.

    Italy is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences.

    • April - May is one of the best times to visit, with mild weather, blooming flowers, and bustling cities.

    • June - August is peak tourist season, with warm to hot weather; major cities can be crowded and hot.

    • September - October is another excellent time to visit, with pleasant temperatures, harvest festivals, and crowds begin to decrease toward late October.

    • November - March is considered off-season, with cooler temperatures, fewer tourists and often offer lower tour prices.

    Italy, being one of the world's top travel destinations, often has busy tourist sites, so travellers should be ready to navigate through crowds. In many historical centres, coaches are prohibited, necessitating significant walking over uneven cobblestone paths and navigating stairs without railings.
