Italian Cities Holidays

Holidays to Italian cities offer an enticing mixture of ancient monuments, breath taking scenery, exquisite dining and some of the best shopping in the world. Whether you prefer a short break to one city or a longer trip visiting two or three, either is possible with the high speed rail links available. Visit the fashion capital of Milan, the Renaissance jewel of Florence, the romantic setting of Venice with its winding waterways or the historic Rome, full of sightseeing opportunities. If you prefer something a bit quieter visit Bologna, the country’s capital of cuisine or Naples, a UNESCO-listed historic centre full of ancient wonders.

City holidays in Italy are truly diverse and can be tailored to suit anyone; couples will find plenty of choices for a romantic break with beautiful scenery and authentic Italian restaurants with an intimate feel. Families will be entertained by the many sights and attractions on offer, and with something for everyone no one will get bored.

Explore Italy’s cities like no other

Citalia knows Italy better than anyone else, and with almost 90 years of experience in planning holidays to Italy’s cities, we can help you discover wonderful hidden gems.

Let Citalia show you the hidden gems such as the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. This island is much quieter than other parts of the city, and allows you to enjoy some tranquillity as you take in the views of Venice from the top of the church bell tower.

For something a little different, visit the Officina di Santa Maria Novella in Florence, one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe which is a combination of museum and perfume shop. Here you’ll find perfume formulas used by the Medici women, as well as concoctions made by Dominican monks using recipes and techniques that have been passed down for centuries.
