Italy

Italy captivates in a way few places can. Layered with centuries of art, architecture, and extraordinary food, it remains one of Europe's most magnetic destinations. Wander through its historic cities and you'll find striking art and architecture waiting around every corner, while its dramatic coastlines and soaring Alpine peaks offer an entirely different kind of adventure outdoors.

History lives everywhere here, from the weathered stones of the Colosseum to the grandeur of St. Peter's Square. Step into any of the country's world-class museums and you're surrounded by masterpieces from some of history's most celebrated artists. Between the culture, the scenery, and the food, Italy offers travelers — and those lucky enough to call it home — an endlessly rewarding place to explore.
