Holding the record for the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Italy is not a country to underestimate – with spectacular architectural gems and stunning landscapes around every corner. See an ancient city frozen in time and learn the story behind its tragic destruction with a visit to the massive archaeological site of Pompeii, or gaze at the glistening, clear waters of Lake Garda, the largest of the Italian lakes. Indulge in the hidden delights of Tuscany, exploring the monuments and fountains of its capital city, Florence, or pay a visit to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa – don’t forget your camera! For sun-dappled coastlines and the most incredible, traditional architecture, the town of Sorrento is a delight to explore. Home to the hugely popular Limoncello factory, visitors get an authentic look into the production of this signature drink. Food is also a huge part of Italian culture – and any holiday must include the traditional tastes of the country. With all of this to see and more, Italy is the perfect destination for you to find excitement, beauty and history.

Ragù alla Bolognese
The national dish of Italy, ragù alla bolognese, is often known by another name: spaghetti bolognese. Using fresh ingredients and a recipe from the Emilia Romagna region – renowned for its gastronomy and wine making – there is no better place to try this popular dish than in Italy.
Prosciutto di Parma
Made according to the highest possible standards, prosciutto di parma is a symbol of Italian tradition and authenticity. The cured ham can be cooked in many different ways, but always has a distinct flavour and sweet taste.
Risotto
The classic rice dish risotto originates in northern Italy and is cooked slowly in a flavourful broth, leaving behind a delicious creamy consistency. The most popular variation is the risotto alla Milanese, which has been infused with saffron for a special twist.
Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of the most famous and popular Italian desserts ever. Using savoiardi ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, and a flavoured liqueur, this coffee-soaked delight is best tried authentically whilst visiting Italy.
