Top places to visit in Italy
Rome
The Romans left their impact across the world, but it’s in Italy’s capital that you’ll find the pinnacle of their cultural and architectural influence. From the Colosseum and Roman Forum, to the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon Temple, there’s a whole host of history for solo travelers to explore
Cortina d'Ampezzo
Italy’s most glamorous mountain town and host of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Elegant streets lined with boutiques, mountain lodges and some of the finest restaurants in the Dolomites — all surrounded by the most dramatic peaks in the region. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo are a short drive away. The aperitivo hour here is not to be missed.
Puglia
The beautiful heel of Italy has managed to remain slightly off the beaten track. Dotted with whitewashed fishing villages, ‘trulli’ stone huts with distinctive conical roofs, picturesque beaches and ancient olive groves; you’ll feel like you’ve really discovered true rural Italy here.
Sicily
A sun-soaked island where ancient history, volcanic landscapes and long, leisurely meals all compete for your attention. In Sicily, golden Greek temples glow at sunset, Mount Etna smoulders above the coastline and everyday life plays out in lively piazzas and bustling food markets. Expect bold flavors, sea views and a slower, sociable rhythm.
