Where to begin
Italy's cities are where most trips begin and end: the capitals of its twenty regions, from Rome and Milan to Palermo and Aosta, and the smaller towns that hold just as much, in the Tuscan hills, on the Amalfi Coast or along the northern lakes. Each guide covers what to see, when to go, where to stay and what to eat, and the festivals worth planning around. Start with a region, or browse every city below.
