Best places to visit in Italy
- Milan: Known for being one of the most fashionable cities in the world, Milan has an endless number of things to see and do, whether it be climbing to the top of the Duomo di Milano, going shopping at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or exploring the Sforzesco Castle.
- Rome: A trip to Italy would not be complete without discovering the capital city of Rome. Pay a visit to the iconic Colosseum, go to St. Peter's Basilica, known for being one of the world’s largest churches, or make a wish at the famous Trevi Fountain.
- Florence: Art and architecture lovers will be delighted to spend some time in the city of Florence. You won’t want to miss out on going to the Uffizi Gallery to see its Renaissance masterpieces or the medieval Ponte Vecchio bridge that is surrounded by charming jewelry shops.
Winter in Italy
Take advantage of the fewer crowds and mild climate to discover some of Italy’s main attractions, like the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican City in Rome. If winter sports are your thing, discover the beautiful mountains of the Italian Alps and visit its many resorts to enjoy skiing and snowboarding. Choose a spacious hire car with room for all of your luggage and equipment.

Start right here, if you you want a fuss-free and great holiday:)
Professional and very customer service focussed staff, well equipped German cars, pick-up and drop-off right at the terminal, no dragging luggage across to and queuing at the noleggio hall („nightmare box“) outside the terminal, worth paying every penny paying that little more!👍🏼
