Italy
No other European country has had quite the same influence, nor holds quite the same wonders, as this incredible Mediterranean peninsula.

Only in Europe do the world’s best-loved sites abut such an array of fascinating, lesser-known attractions. Italy has been drawing in travellers for centuries with Ravenna’s mosaics and the Neapolitan treasures of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, yet regular visitors may not have taken in Turin’s baroque facades. Andalucia’s Moorish colonnades and Portugal’s fabulously restored Pousadas hotels remain essential for many – including those yet to experience Toledo’s Gothic cathedral. Head east, and you’ll enjoy the whitewashed streets of Greece’s Cyclades islands and Transylvania’s often-overlooked fairytale castles. With guidance, the continent remains a perennial destination for first-time visitors and seasoned returnees.
