City breaks in Italy with Citalia include the magnificent and overwhelming Rome, famed for the mighty Colosseum, the Vatican City, St
Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, which is not to be missed during your trip in Italy. City breaks in the capital will also
introduce you to the country’s contemporary flair, reflected in its sophisticated café society and designer boutiques.
In contrast, you may wish to discover the relaxed and spectacular Tuscan countryside, a favourite in Italy. City breaks based in Florence,
renowned for its arts, culture and architecture, will beautifully blend this Renaissance capital with the cultivated hills of Chianti.
The Uffizi Gallery houses some of the world's greatest art, including Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus'.
For the ultimate in romance why not book a city break to Italy’s beloved Venice? This quiet city is perfect for exploring on foot, taking
in the intricate network of canals and pedestrianised lanes, linked by ornate bridges. The architecture and lagoon views are guaranteed to
take your breath away during your city break.
In Italy, when visiting Verona, it's easy to see how this romantic city inspired Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, with its rose-tinted monuments
and magnificently preserved Roman amphitheatre; the venue for a breathtaking season of opera, which runs each year from the end of June until
the beginning of September.
Italy's thriving capital of commerce and fashion, Milan, is the perfect blend of architectural heritage and sophisticated lifestyle, and a
byword for modern Italian style. This is reflected throughout the vibrant, cosmopolitan centre, with its elegant fashion houses and lively nightlife.
We can also tailor a great selection of city breaks to Italy’s smaller destinations, which include Naples, Ravenna, Lucca, Siena and Pisa.
Each city is steeped in history and museums bursting with the genius of Italy’s famous sons - Raffaello, Michelangelo, Tiziano, and Canova to name a few.
For a delightfully gastronomic city break in Italy, Bologna, fondly known as 'La Grassa' (the Fat) will not disappoint. The only problem will
be dividing your time between the table and the sights. There is much to see, including Europe’s oldest university, a superb Gothic cathedral,
medieval churches and two leaning towers.
