1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Italy is a southern European country stretching from the Alps down to the Mediterranean, renowned for its extraordinary concentration of art, history, and architecture. Home to more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country, it draws visitors to iconic cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as dramatic landscapes from the Dolomites to the Amalfi Coast. Travellers come for world-class museums, ancient ruins, regional cuisine, and a thriving cafe and nightlife culture. Whether island-hopping in Sicily, cycling through Tuscany, or exploring the canals of Venice, Italy offers an endlessly varied experience for independent and group travellers alike.

Buonasera Italia, Your Way: Naples to Rome in 10 Days

A self-launched version of Italy on a Budget Tours' "Buonasera Italia" — Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, Chianti, San Gimignano, Venice and Rome — rebuilt for independent travellers using Italian trains, regional buses, ferries and self-bookable tours. The original is only "partially guided" and travellers routinely commute themselves between cities, so going fully independent is barely a downgrade and saves a big chunk of cash. Travel between April and October for the best coastal weather; book Pompeii, the Colosseum and Vatican online in advance. All costs are approximate per-person estimates from a UK backpacker/budget-traveller perspective.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Italy yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
