Known for its beautiful cities, glorious cathedrals, museums, cuisine, and stunning coastline, Italy also offers small towns, mountains, lakes, and rivers. Fashionable Milan, art-filled Florence, the canals of Venice, Rome’s Colosseum and Sistine Chapel, and Bologna’s food culture are among Italy’s many attractions. Italy also offers skiing in the Dolomites, cruising on Lake Como, exploring the ruins in Pompeii, and hiking the Mt. Etna volcano in Sicily.
