Best places to visit in Italy

- Rome: A trip to Italy would not be complete without discovering the capital city of Rome. Pay a visit to the iconic Colosseum, go to St. Peter's Basilica, known for being one of the world’s largest churches, or make a wish at the famous Trevi Fountain.
- Florence: Art and architecture lovers will be delighted to spend some time in the city of Florence. You won’t want to miss out on going to the Uffizi Gallery to see its Renaissance masterpieces or the medieval Ponte Vecchio bridge that is surrounded by charming jewelry shops.
Summer in Italy
As temperatures rise and days become longer, the whole country blooms with outdoor cafés, bars, and restaurants. Enjoy relaxed sunny afternoons with a classic Aperol or an authentic gelato. To appreciate the beautiful Italian beaches, explore the breath-taking Amalfi Coast in your hire car, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
