Destination Profile
Ah, Italia. This is the home of La Dolce Vita. It's the land of pasta and prosecco. It's the stomping ground of old Roman emperors and the wine makers of Tuscany. Fusing romance, adventure, and family fun in one peninsula at the southern end of Europe, it's true bucket list topper. Cheap flights to Italy from New Zealand can whizz you across to fashion-conscious Milan at the door of the Alps. They can take you to the Eternal City of Rome for glimpses of great basilicas and half-ruined temples. Or, you can use them to break out to Sicily's pebble coves, Campania's pizza-scented hill villages, or the rolling farmlands of rustic Umbria. The choice is yours.
All roads lead to Rome. It's easy to see why, too! This capital bursts with history and culture, from the Vatican Museum to the historic Roman Forum.
Lake Garda is a dash of refreshing alpine water in an amphitheater of rugged peaks covered in hiking trails.
Sicily fragments off the end of Italy. It's home to majestic Greek temples, has a cuisine influenced by North Africa, and beaches lapped by a refreshing Mediterranean.
