From romantic city breaks and sun-soaked islands to scenic lakes and coastal resorts, Italy offers the perfect mix of culture, cuisine and breathtaking scenery.
Travel operator TUI is inviting holidaymakers to experience the ultimate ‘la dolce vita’ with its range of getaways across Italy. Offering a mix of historic cities, coastal resorts, mountain scenery and islands, there is a destination to suit every traveller from beach breaks, city escapes and sightseeing trips.
Perfect for couples, Italy offers a romantic alternative to traditional Mediterranean favourites such as Spain and Turkey. From candlelit dinners in historic cities to scenic lakes, island escapes and beautiful beaches, the country delivers a slower-paced holiday experience.
While Italy can sometimes be seen as a pricier European escape, savvy holidaymakers can still discover its famous sights, scenery and cuisine without breaking the bank. By booking smart and taking advantage of TUI’s latest offers, including up to £550 off per couple, Brits can experience the best of Italy for less.
In the north, holidaymakers can visit Venice’s canals, the beach resort of Lido di Jesolo or the historic city of Verona. Further south, the Campania region is home to the Amalfi Coast, including well-known destinations such as Sorrento, Ravello and Positano.
For those looking for lakes and mountain scenery, TUI also offers holidays around Lakes Garda, Como and Maggiore. Nearby, the Dolomites provide opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor activities during the warmer months, as well as skiing in winter.
