Holidays to Italy: From the Italian Lakes to Sicily
At The Travel Department, we are passionate about Italy. Over the years, thousands of people across the UK have joined us to explore the best of Italy on our Italian lake holidays, city breaks, walking holidays and rail tours.
Perhaps you want to combine a holiday in the stunning Italian Lakes including Lake Garda and Lake Como complete with city tours of Venice, Verona or Milan? What about exploring the heart of cultural Italy with a tour of Tuscany including guided tours of Florence and Pisa? Travelling along the breathtaking coastline of Amalfi has to be one of the quintessential Italian holiday experiences taking in the perfect views of the Bay of Naples from nearby Sorrento and visiting one the best and most memorable historical sites in Italy – the ancient Roman ruins at Pompei.
If you want to discover a different side of Italy, then you can compare some of our themed holidays. Why not discover some of the Italian countryside on foot with a walking holiday to the rolling hills of Cinque Terre or even travel by train on one of our Italy rail holidays?
