Organization from the rental car to the hotels to the airport transfer was once again excellent. The selected hotels (some with family connections) were individual, very nice and characterized by extremely nice and service-oriented staff. The guided tours were great - very nice guides who also responded to individual wishes. We will definitely book through Tourlane again!

Elisabeth Koblitz in Italien mit Tourlane

“After eight years in the USA, we finally wanted to go on a typical trip to Italy again - child-friendly with three small children. Tourlane organized an all-round wonderful Tuscany revival for us - nothing was left to be desired. The surroundings and distances were perfectly chosen so that each of us got our money's worth.”

How to plan a trip to Italy

To plan a trip to Italy, start by picking your travel dates, booking flights and hotels, and building your itinerary. Include destinations like Rome, Florence, and Venice, and make sure your travel documents are valid. Consider travel insurance, pack for the season, and learn a few Italian phrases to enrich your trip.More...

1. Choose travel dates & duration

The best time to visit Italy is spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer is great for beaches but brings higher prices and visitor numbers. Winter is quiet, especially in southern regions. Many travelers stay 10–14 days to explore multiple areas.

➔ 2-week Italy itinerary

2. Book flights & accommodation

Book flights 4–6 months in advance, flying into Rome or Milan. Accommodation options include boutique hotels, family-run B&Bs, agriturismos, and vacation rentals. Tourlane helps you find hand-picked stays that match your style and budget.

➔ Plan your trip with a Tourlane expert

3. Plan your itinerary

Include Rome’s Colosseum and Vatican, Florence’s art and cathedrals, Tuscany’s vineyards, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Cinque Terre, and Lake Como. Combine cities, countryside, and coast for a well-rounded trip.

4. Obtain necessary documentation

US citizens need a valid passport with at least six months remaining. Starting in 2025, an ETIAS travel authorization will also be required.

➔ Official entry requirements (U.S. State Department)

5. Consider travel insurance

Travel insurance helps protect your trip against cancellations, medical emergencies, and lost belongings. Tourlane advisors can assist with coverage options.

6. Pack appropriately

Bring comfortable shoes for walking, layers for varying weather, and modest clothing for religious sites. Spring and fall require light jackets; summers call for breathable clothing.

➔ Insider tips for your Italy trip

7. Learn basic Italian phrases

Many Italians speak English, but learning phrases like Buongiorno, Per favore, and Grazie makes interactions smoother.

8. Research & plan activities

Enjoy cooking classes, wine tastings, guided tours, sailing trips, gondola rides, and hiking. Book popular activities and museum tickets in advance.
