Welcome to VIAGGIELITE
Italy, nicknamed “il bel paese” (the beautiful country) is a boot-shaped peninsula in Southern Europe comprising some of the most delightful small towns and picturesque countryside & coastlines, including the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.
The country is well-known for its architecture, culture, art, opera, literature, cuisine, technology, film, fashion, and motor industry. It has the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is one of the best countries to go on a foreign tour.
There are numerous souvenirs to take home when visiting Italy, including regional food specialties, artwork, crafts, pottery, ceramics, olive oil, and world-class wines. Veneto, Tuscany, and Piedmont are the top three wine regions that produce superior Italian wines.
Discover the wide range of flavors that Italian cuisine, from the various regions, has to offer. Enjoy some experiences such as Olive Picking, Pizza Making, Cheese Making & Tasting, Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar Tasting, Truffle Hunting, Chocolate Tasting, Cooking Courses, and Food & Wine Pairing.
In collaboration with “Walk about Italy”, you can join one of the amazing Italian-guided walking tours, operated by locals. Our focus is on specific regions offering the best of Italy’s beauty – Tuscany, Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Umbria, Assisi & Le Marche, Cinque Terre, Italian Alps & Dolomites and The Italian Lakes. Each tour is unique and worth exploring.
