Winter is finally here and it’s probably one of the most exciting seasons of the year. It’s one of the best seasons for travelling around the world and discovering some new incredibly beautiful European towns. Actually, Europe is the no1 destination for winter visitors, especially throughout the Christmas season.Â
Where exactly in Europe? Italy, of course! This country is one of the most interesting, cultural, beautiful, and artistic destinations in Europe, and it’s even more magical when it’s glammed up with wondrous Christmas decorations. Rome is for sure a miracle city, but there are many other places in Italy that are equally beautiful and worth visiting, such as Florence, Venice, Milan, etc. All these cities make the perfect destinations for those who appreciate art and the rich culture.Â
In case you are the organiser of such a unique tour in Italy, it is very important to consider many details in order to satisfy every traveller. But don’t worry because we’ve got your back!
Read below and find out the best advice for a unique tour in Italy.
#1 Exploring the ideal cities for winter
The most important thing is to find the best cities in Italy that are perfect for the winter season. Many places in Italy are worth visiting during the summer and spring seasons, while other places are amazing during the Christmas holidays. For example, the Italian Alps might be the perfect destination during winter, especially for travellers who love adventures and snow, and it’s also the best place for hitting the slopes. Also, Rome, Milan, and Florence are very beautiful in winter, when the streets are decorated with wondrous Christmas decorations. It’s very important to understand your group’s needs for this trip and how they want to spend most of their time in Italy.Â
#2 Book a guided tour around the city
Moreover, another very important tip in order to organise the best unique tour in Italy is to book a guided tour while visiting a city. Italian cities are big and most of them are like open museums, so there are many landmarks that visitors can explore. The easiest and best way to explore Italian cities is to book one of the bus tours in Italy. The bus is probably the most relaxing way in order for visitors to enjoy the whole tour and see as many landmarks as possible. This way you will save more time for other activities around the city. Also, it could be made even greater by hiring a local tour guide in order to tell the backstory of every monument and answer any questions from the group.Â
#3 Hitting the slopes
Last but not least, another impressive activity that you must add to any unique tour in Italy this winter, is visiting one of Italy’s Alpine destinations. Needless to say, the Italian Alps are one of the most impressive destinations worldwide, especially for those who love hitting the slopes. If there are people in the group that have never tried skiing before, this could be the best opportunity for them to give it a go.
