Italy Highlights
So, why travel to Italy? Located at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the ancient capital of the western world boasts over 2500 years of history, and with more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, Italy has wonder at every turn. Remarkable cities such as Rome, Venice and Florence are renowned for their architectural treasures and fantastic sightseeing opportunities – a real treat for the eyes. That said, Italy is a treat for all the senses with its mouth-watering cuisine and divine after-dinner drinks. Be sure to sample Limoncello in Sorrento and gelato in Rome!
If you're a lover of contemporary cities, iconic Milan is the fashion capital of Europe, whilst for those who prefer to sit back and relax by the tranquillity of the water, lakes Como and Garda are stunning, each speckled with gorgeous villages along their shores.
In the south, you'll find picturesque towns bursting with rustic charm and unique culture. Lecce in Puglia is nicknamed the 'Florence of the South' for its beautiful Baroque-style buildings, whilst Bari, the capital of Puglia, boasts a labyrinth of seemingly endless passages, where locals can be seen making their crafts.
Take a look at our exciting itineraries and plan your perfect Italian adventure with Leger Holidays.

Food and Drink
Tiramisu
This classic Italian dessert consists of coffee-soaked sponge layered with espresso and filled with delicious mascarpone cream. Records suggest that tiramisu originated in the 1960s in the Veneto region of Italy.
Aperitivo
A cultural tradition in northern Italy, an Aperitivo usually takes place before dinner and is an appetiser of drinks and small snacks to 'open the stomach', often enjoyed whilst socialising with friends. Popular Apertivo drinks include Aperol Spritz, Campari and Martini, whilst snacks can include olives, bruschetta, arancini and crostini.
Focaccia
Dating back to Ancient Rome, focaccia is a flat, olive oil-rich Italian bread that is often sold as street food. Enjoy it plain or stuffed with vegetables, sausage or cheese, depending on the regional version.
Gelato
Originally created in the 16th century, gelato is a delicious, frozen dessert and a quintessential Italian treat. Italy is now home to over 35,000 gelaterias with a spectacular selection of flavours to choose from!
Planning your trip
With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...
Rome Highlights
The Colosseum
An iconic symbol of Rome, the Colosseum was the site of many gladiatorial fights, and today remains an imposing sight of architectural wonder. It's a must-see of any visit to Italy's capital and is the cornerstone of exploring ancient Rome.
Vatican City
The world's smallest sovereign state, discover grand architecture such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Apostolic Palace, and works of art with medieval and Renaissance influences in the Vatican Museums.
Trevi Fountain
A stunning example of exquisite Baroque design, it is believed that throwing a coin into the fountain with your right hand over your left shoulder will ensure a return visit to Rome. Give it a try!

Venice Highlights
St. Mark's Basilica
The most important religious temple in the city of Venice, the Basilica is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe. With a unique mix of architectural and art styles, it is a testimony to the wealth and power of the city's history.
Bridge of Sighs
Linking the Doge’s Palace to the prison cells on the opposite side of the canal, romantics claim that lovers would find eternal happiness by kissing under the bridge at sunset, however the name actually comes from the sighs heard as prisoners crossed the bridge to the prison!
Grand Canal
One of the major water-traffic corridors in Venice, the Grand Canal is lined with palaces, churches, hotels and public buildings on either side, displaying fine examples of High Renaissance architecture. Rialto Bridge spans the canal, and until 1854, this was the only point at which the Grand Canal could be crossed on foot.

Tuscany Highlights
Florence
Tuscany is often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance, and Florence is the jewel in the crown. Steeped in culture and with endless historic treasures, discover Piazza del Duomo, the city's Cathedral Square, which is a perfect reflection of Renaissance architecture and home to the awe-inspiring Duomo (cathedral). Other key sights include Santa Croce Church and the Uffizi Gallery.
Pisa
See one of Europe's most famous sights, Pisa’s famous leaning tower, on our Picturebook Italy tour. Standing on the Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles), the tower was already tilting when it was completed in 1372!
Siena
Extremely rich in history and art, be sure to explore the beautiful Piazza del Campo, one of the largest and finest medieval squares in the world. Central to Sienese life since 1300, the square also plays host to the Palio horse race twice a year.

Lake Garda Highlights
Sirmione
The ancient fortified town of Sirmione is situated on a peninsula on the south of the lake. Picturesque and elegant, it is home to independent boutiques and eateries, as well as the 13th-century Scaligero Castle and the Roman ruins of the Grotte di Catullo.
Limone
Located on the western shore of Lake Garda, Limone – once renowned for growing lemons and citrus fruits – has charming, narrow lanes lined with shops, restaurants and gelaterias. The wide promenade offers spectacular views of the lake and highlights include the Chiesa di San Benedetto, Chiesa di San Rocco and the old lemon grove, the Limonaia del Castèl.
Malcesine
Small and charming, Malcesine is a beautiful town with curved, cobbled streets, and has a fantastic range of shops and restaurants. It is crowned by the medieval Scaliger Castle, and the charming harbour is the perfect place to take photos and relax with a drink. Monte Baldo overlooks the town and a cable car ride to the top is the best way to soak up the spectacular mountain and lake views – it really is breathtaking!
