Take a Roman Holiday

Rome is one of Hollywood’s most beloved backdrops— whether you prefer romance, adventure or mystery, this timeless city has a storyline anyone can follow. Consider creating your own movie tour and reenacting your favorite scenes with one of our Italian vacation packages.

Roman Holiday. Released in 1953, this classic starred Audrey Hepburn opposite Gregory Peck. When crowned princess, Ann (Hepburn), visits Italy on state business, she feigns illness to sneak away from her security detail and experience Rome on her own. She falls asleep on a park bench and is discovered by an unsuspecting American reporter, Joe Bradley (Peck). A series of romantic interludes ensue, and they soon fall in love— regardless of the consequences.

Saddle up with your favorite travel companion for a Vespa ride, climb the Spanish Steps (just don’t have lunch on them, it’s forbidden by Roman law), then dare to stick your hand in the Mouth of Truth.

Looking for something a little more modern?

Eat Pray Love. With amazing and endless choices of cuisine available in Italy, it’s no wonder Elizabeth Gilbert decided to experience the eat portion of her journey here. Julia Roberts plays the role of Gilbert, a woman who realizes she’s ill-suited for her life in New York and sets out on an international adventure of self discovery.

Follow in her footsteps by taking a stroll along Via Condotti, Rome’s most famous and fashionable street. Find time for peaceful contemplation in Borghese Gardens. Make a wish in the Four Rivers Fountain in the middle of Piazza Navona. Browse and sample the offerings of Campo de Fiori’s picturesque open-air market. Then end the day with a scoop of gelato. Take a cue from the story’s heroine and learn to eat like an Italian— slow and purposefully. Savor every moment!

History and intrigue more your speed?

Angels & Demons. This Dan Brown best-seller turned blockbuster highlights some of the most recognizable sites in this ancient city. Many scenes were shot of Vatican City, the tiny sovereign state the Pope calls home, which includes St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica. These are a few of many: Castel Sant' Angelo, Il Passetto, Piazza del Popolo, Santa Maria della Vittoria Church, and the Pantheon, which was originally built as a temple to the gods of Ancient Rome, and is still used for mass and other ceremonies.

If you’re really into Dan Brown novels, make sure to consult a tour guide (to decipher fact from fiction) and pack a camera. You’re sure to leave Rome with a few stories of your own!

Take an Escape With Your BFFs

Today, girlfriend travel escapades are increasing in acceptance. Many women group as one for weekend car visits, days on the seaside, and - in a number of suitcases - global trek as well. Traveling with "the girls" is a lot more diverse that touring along with your boyfriend or your spouse and children, and many ladies note that it is a refreshing change from tour with the household as quite a lot less is expected of them and they have a tendency to have a greater chance to relax and simply be themselves.

Hence why not tour Italy together with the girls? There are a number of sights, activities, and adventures in Italy that are entirely suited to girlfriend getaways. Even though Italy displays romance and it's wonderful to tour Italy with your loved one, women traveling all together will surely enjoy the cities, countryside, and everything else Italy gives and will note that there's no shortage of things to undertake together.

Consider booking a personalized organized trip to Italy for your pure-ladies trip. This offers all of you an opportunity to select someplace you would like to go and every participant can select or 2 of places that appeal to them. This way, there's something for all as you tour Italy with your girlfriends. Among you, for example, could be an ancient history fan. Meaning Rome should be a stop in your tour. Maybe another has a devoted attention in classical composition. Then perhaps a stop at La Scala in Milan for a night of opera must be on the roster. And don't discard destinations like Venice even though it's generally thought of as a "romantic" getaway. You will find still enough stuff to view and complete in this amazing canal-filled city that ladies can have collectively.

If you are all into cooking, your tour of Italy may consist of a stop in Tuscany where you can take up habitat in the lodge of the known chef and revel in a week filled with cooking instructions, learning the details of making any some of wonderful Italian dishes. In your tour Italy with your girlfriends, cooking can be a huge part of the experience and one you can take home with you, recreating the dishes for friends and family members when you return. Wine tasting can be incorporated into a vacation within the Tuscan region as well. You and your friends might be regarded to sips of a few of the world's most excellent wines and others that are yet to get discovered
