For those who want more than a day trip to the Amalfi Coast, we have something special for you... Overnights. 🍋

Our guides have spent years uncovering the moments most visitors drive right past, and they’ve designed this two-day journey to let you linger in every one.

An archaeologist leads you through Pompeii’s frozen streets. A vineyard lunch on Vesuvius pairs homemade courses with wines grown in volcanic soil. Arrive in Positano at golden hour and set off on a private sunset cruise. The next morning, sip limoncello at a family-run lemon grove perched above the coast, then boat to Cetara, a quiet fishing village still producing an anchovy elixir the ancient Romans would recognize.

Most people have Milan low on their Italy list. Don't be most people.

Skip the line at Duomo, and see the Last Supper up close. Stop for coffee and a pastry at one of the most gorgeous cafes in the world Marchesi 1824. Get lost in Brera, and sip some Spritz along the Navigli canals. Check out what's going on at Fondazione Prada and grab a bowl of risotto Risoelatte cucina casalinga.

Here's what should be on your Milan list: https://takewalks.co/3PH2jeh

We always say the first few hours in Florence are the best ones.

Start at Café Gilli, where cappuccino and cornetto have been served on the same corner of Piazza della Repubblica since 1733, then make your way to Orsanmichele, a church that was once a grain market with guild statues still standing in the niches outside where they've always been.

From there it's Piazza della Signoria, where David's replica stands in the exact spot Michelangelo originally intended, and streets that hide Roman amphitheatre remains most people walk right past without ever knowing.

End the morning at Santa Croce, where Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli are all buried under the same roof.

Did you know that Vatican City is its own country, complete with its own postal system? And that you can send a postcard right from Vatican City?

Some even say that the tiny Vatican Post is faster and more reliable than the Italian postal system right outside its walls (though, others claim their postcards never make it home, so perhaps it’s what luck you have that day).

Regardless, if you want to send some mail before you leave the walls of Vatican City, it’s easy.

Head straight to one of the bright yellow Vatican Post boxes or kiosks inside the Vatican Museums or near St. Peter's Square. You'll need Vatican stamps (not Italian ones, if you use Rome ones your mail definitely won’t get sent). Likewise, you must mail your card from inside Vatican City for the Vatican postmark to count, which makes it a genuinely cool souvenir in itself.

Have you ever sent a postcard from Vatican City?

Easter in Italy, or Pasqua as the locals call it, might just be the most important holiday on the Italian calendar.

While Christmas is for family, Easter is a full week of celebration: solemn Good Friday processions winding through ancient streets, midnight mass at St. Peter’s, and the joy of Easter Sunday spilling into Pasquetta with friends.

The food alone tells you everything: slow-roasted lamb, the dove-shaped Colomba di Pasqua cake, and chocolate eggs hiding little surprises inside.

There’s a reason Italians say Pasqua rivals Christmas. And if you’ve ever spent Easter in Italy, you’ll understand why right away.

Have you ever spent Holy Week in Italy?

Every March, Rome reminds us of the most famous betrayal in history.

During this month in 44 BC Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators he trusted. It's the moment that changed the Roman world forever, and honestly, one of those stories that still feels a little hard to believe even 2,000 years later.

Today our guide, Julia, brings this tale of betrayal to life. Julia is one of our expert local guides in Rome and Vatican City.

If you're heading to Rome, come join us. Rather than losing hours in lines, you'll spend your time hearing stories like these, going deeper than the guidebooks ever do, and leaving with a real sense of the city, the kind most visitors never quite get.

We'd love to show you around: https://takewalks.co/3PyS8Ie

Coming to Rome this year? Don’t just stay in the city...save a couple of days to explore what’s beyond it, too.

Think wandering the ancient streets of Pompeii Archaeological Park with an expert guide, sipping wine on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, cruising past the cliffs of Amalfi Coast at sunset, and escaping to the rolling vineyards of Tuscany.

Some places deserve more than a rushed day trip.

That’s why we’re launching brand-new overnight escapes from Rome in 2026, designed for slower travel, incredible food and wine, and experiences led by locals.
