Amazing & Affordable Vacations to Italy

Only in Italy can you sip cappuccino at a café in front of the Pantheon, buy grapes at a centuries-old market, and have an audience with the Pope, all in one morning. Here, the preoccupation with the aesthetic fuses with incredible urban scenery to make Italy an entire country where you feel cool just strolling through the streets.

Life is sweet – the cake is there for the eating. Speaking of eating, truly authentic Italian cuisine, smooth ice cream, frothy cappuccino and exquisite wines abound. While the landmarks are monumental, the cuisine supreme and the atmosphere enticing let's not forget Italian designers and shopping! The Via Margutta has reinvented itself as a design destination, from rich leather at Saddlers Union to high-end jewelry at Enigma right up to custom marble art at La Bottega del Marmoraro Italy has it all!

It's warm all over Italy in summer; it can be very hot in Rome. The high temperatures begin in May, often lasting until sometime in October. In Rome the weather is warm year-round, averaging 50°F (10°C) in winter. For the most part, it's drier in Italy than in North America, so high temperatures don't seem as bad because the humidity is lower. In Rome, temperatures can stay in the 90s for days, but nights are usually cooler and more comfortable. The average high temperatures in Rome are 82°F (28°C) in June, 87°F (31°C) in July, and 86°F (30°C) in August; the average lows are 63°F (17°C) in June and 67°F (19°C) in July and August.
