Top destinations to explore on your group vacation package to Italy
Italy is a great place for group travelers because it has something for everyone. You can rest and relax by the beach, view the Italian coastline from above after a long hike, or indulge in your favorite Italian dishes.
Here are some of the best destinations in Italy for group travelers:
- Sardinia Island
There’s no experience quite like a beach trip with your friends. Sardinia is a perfect summer destination, featuring dozens of archaeological landmarks, loads of exciting activities, and breathtaking views.
Most vacation packages in Sardinia begin in Cagliari, the island’s charming and historic capital. Here, you’ll find stunning white-sand beaches and numerous recreational facilities for water sports and swimming. The city also has a wide selection of fine-dining restaurants and shopping districts if you want to wind down after a long day.
If your group is looking for something more exciting to do, Sardinia won’t disappoint. One must-see destination is the Grotta di Nettuno, a sea cave hidden in a cliff that towers 300 meters above the water. But don’t let the rocky cliffs distract you—this natural landmark is most beautiful from the inside, filled with stalagmites and a deep blue underground lake.
Other notable sites to explore in Sardinia include the Tempio di Antas, the Cattedrale di Santa Maria, and the SuNuraxi di Barumini.
- Rome
Rome is undoubtedly the representative city of Italy, and it’s not hard to see why. First of all, Rome is the country’s capital, once home to the great Roman Empire and the birthplace of life-changing inventions such as the Julian calendar, the modern legal system, and the public press, to name a few.
You might think that Rome’s incredibly influential history outshines its modern-daystate, but that is hardly the case. In fact, the city is still one of Italy’s finest, boasting impressively preserved historical structures like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, and the Rome Opera House. You and your friends can also exploreGalleria Borghese, which houses masterpieces such as Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, Titian’s Sacred and Profane Love, and Raphael’s The Deposition, among others.
Of course, sightseeing isn’t the only thing you can do in Rome. Foodies and wine enthusiasts will fall in love with the city as soon as they taste authentic Roman cuisine. Make sure to try the local Carciofi alla Romana, Pizza al Taglio, and Cacio e Pepe, finishing your meal with a glass of Poggio Verde, Montiano, or Arcaico Rosso wine.
- Umbria
One of the downsides of traveling with a group is that you’ll almost always end up as part of a larger crowd. But fortunately, this won’t be an issue if you visit one of Italy’s best-kept secrets: Umbria.
Umbria, also known as the “green heart of Italy,” is often overlooked for its much bigger neighbor, Tuscany. However, this doesn’t mean the region has nothing to offer tourists. In fact, if your goal is to explore nature and have a relaxing time with your friends, it’s the best place to visit.
Umbria’s largest city is Perugia, a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Italian culture and history. You’ll find multiple museums and galleries in the city, including the National Gallery of Umbria and the National Archaeological Museum of Umbra.
Spoleto should also be on your itinerary. This sleepy, enhancing city sits on the foothills of the Apennines, surrounded by remnants of ancient city walls.
