Your guide to Italy holidays

Food and drink in Italy
If you did nothing else but eat in Italy, you’d make holiday memories to cherish forever. The best way to tackle this gastronomic paradise is to eat your way around the regions.
- The thick-rimmed Pizza Napoletana is cooked in a wood-burning oven and topped simply with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Get your fill in Naples and throughout Campania.
- Emilia-Romagna is home to the cities of Bologna, Modena, Parma and Reggio-Emilia, the names of which are enough to make your mouth water in anticipation of the cuisine from each.
- The classic Milanese veal dish of Ossobuco melts in the mouth. It’s usually served with another Lombardy speciality, Risotto alla Milanese.
- Truffles are king in Italy and Piedmont is the home of gourmet royalty. Harvest season is celebrated throughout the region, with food festivals and truffle hunts.
- If you love gathering your own scrumptious food, you’ll find plenty of markets to raid. Head to the Rialto Fish Market in Venice, Mercato Centrale in Bologna and Testaccio Market in Rome.
- What’s for dessert, you might ask? Just for starters, how about gelato, cannoli, tiramisu and panna cotta?
- Along with aperitivo to prepare your digestive system for mounds of food, sip on classic Bellini cocktails, zesty Limoncello, Campari and a strong Ristretto in the morning.

Nightlife in Italy
Life revolves around socialising in Italy, whether that’s dining in atmospheric plazas or dancing at world-class nightclubs. As this is the original home of opera, don’t forget to book your tickets in advance.
- Locals take partying seriously in Milan, which is one of Europe’s top nightlife destinations. Start with aperitivo and move on to craft cocktail bars, jazz clubs and all-night discos.
- Take your pick from clubs and bars in Rome. However, much of the city’s nightlife centres on dining, with late meals leading into dancing at hotspots that kick off at around midnight. Head to the neighbourhoods of Trastevere and Testaccio.
- Founded in 1737, the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples is the oldest continually running opera house in Italy. Whether you’re there in opera or ballet season, dress up for a glamorous night of performing arts.
- End your days basking on the beach with the dazzling nightlife of the Riviera Romagnola. From glamorous resorts to the lush hills, you’ll find upscale nightclubs and luxurious bars.
- As the sun goes down on Venice, mysterious laneways glitter with sophisticated wine bars and traditional taverns. Watch a classical music concert at the sumptuous Teatro La Fenice.
