Fodor's Best of Italy

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
• A comprehensive Travel Smart section provides all the important nuts and bolts information about traveling to and in Italy, as well as Italian phrases and sample itineraries.
• Expertly researched features on must-visit sights, including an eight-age spread on Vatican City's extraordinary Sistine Chapel and a five-page spread on Florence's Duomo.

TOURISM TRENDS:

Currently, there are no restrictions in place for travelers from the U.S. visiting Italy (negative test/proof of vaccination) but that could change.
• New hotels are set to open in 2023 including Six Senses and Anntara Palazzo Naiadi in Rome, the Langham Venice, and Palazzo Portinari Salviati in Florence.
