Italy travel guide
Why Italy is worth the trip
Italy is history and beauty in every street. Rome has the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and Vatican City; Florence has its cathedral dome and Renaissance art; Venice is built on canals, best seen from a gondola.
Our tours start in Rome or Venice and cross the Alps into Switzerland, so you see Italy's cities and Switzerland's mountains in one trip.
Tours that include Italy
- Italy and the Alps: Italy & Switzerland, 9 days

The Schengen visa
Nepali passport holders need a Schengen visa, and one visa covers France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria. It is included in our Europe tours. You attend the appointment in person with bank statements, job or business proof, tax papers and travel insurance; our visa team prepares the file and books the slot. Apply 6 to 8 weeks before travel.
Visiting churches and the Vatican
Cover your shoulders and knees to enter churches and St Peter's Basilica. The Vatican Museums and Colosseum interiors need tickets booked ahead.
Best time to visit Italy
May to September is the best time for a Europe tour: long days, mild to warm weather and everything open. April and October are quieter and cheaper but cooler. Winter (December to February) is cold, with Christmas markets and snow in the Alps but short days.
