If you want to experience the romance in Italy, it has to be your number one choice to take your spouse or partner. You can organise cheap flights to any of the main cities such as Rome or Milan, and then go to Venice, a city connected with romance and love. Venice is essentially a city that was built on water in many ways, and you can take the famous gondolas, canoe-like vessels that are tailor made for couples who want to see the city yet within a private setting. If this sounds like the type of thing you know your spouse or partner would like, try Venice as an alternative to other romance capitals such as Paris. Venice is a blank canvas where you can create a special ambiance for your spouse on your package holiday to Italy.

From shopping to wining and dining there's always something fun and eye catching on cheap package holidays to Italy!

In Italy, there has been a recent rise in the number of groups travelling to Milan, which is undoubtedly the fashion capital of the city. This is because of the fashion connection. Milan Fashion Week and the number of fashion houses from Italy have their major boutiques in Milan. Italy and Milan in particular has contributed to world fashion and key brands such as Versace, Prada and Gucci have large stores in Milan.

If you are the type of traveller who likes a budget holiday but can splurge on key items from well made Italian brands, you can find cheap holidays to Italy that easily fit this requirement, such as going to Milan where you can buy these designer goods in an affordable way. This is because Italian designer clothes and accessories are not as expensive in Italy as they are from abroad. A fashion holiday is a different way to experience the city. Italians are known to be some of the best dressed people around, and once you go to Milan on your package holiday, you will soon discover why they are.

Italy's connection with early Christianity through the fall of the Roman Empire is seen at its best through Rome. Rome, or Roma, in Italian is a large city that has history seeping through the cracks of the Coliseum. A package holiday to Italy that focuses on Rome would suit travellers who love history and want to see Rome through a historical prism. Rome is also a key centre for Christian pilgrims across the world, especially Roman Catholics, one of the largest denominations of Christianity which was born in the city. The Vatican and the beautiful Sistine Chapel that the artist Michelangelo painted can also be visited.

Top Pick: Speaking English in Italy to locals in shops and markets marks you as a tourist, especially in less tourist-centred areas such as Florence and Naples. Try and learn a set number of key phrases such as 'How much does this cost' and 'Please can I have' if you are trying to purchase items. This especially helps in markets where prices are not clearly labelled on products. Having a grasp on the language, however small, will help you when you are on your package holiday to Italy.
