Italy Summer Holidays
City guide · Europe · Italy
Italy is one of the standout European summer holiday destinations this year, as the US-Israel war on Iran pushes travellers to stay closer to home. Demand across Europe for all-inclusive, protected package holidays is unusually strong, but airline rerouting and last-minute schedule changes mean travellers should plan ahead and seek written confirmation of rerouting and reimbursement options.
