Dream trips Italien: personally planned

Italien is a travel country that Once in a Lifetime plans for travellers with a lifelong wish, with a focus on uniqueness and careful preparation. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Once in a Lifetime takes time for trips that happen only once. With the planner, you record the wish, and the joint preparation follows in the video call.

Overview

Italy is the destination where you do not ask whether you want to go but where to first. For a lifelong wish it helps to turn the question around: what should remain in the memory afterwards? A sunset over the Arno, a lunch in a vineyard, a boat on the lake? From April to June and from September to October the weather is mild, the cities are less crowded, and the landscape shows itself in good colours.

Rome needs time, at least three days, so that Forum, Vatican and Trastevere do not become a fast forward. Florence and Tuscany form a counterpoint with hills and cypresses. Venice is a classic for couples, above all early in the morning and late in the evening, when the day visitors are missing. Anyone who combines several places at once travels best by train, because the connections between the cities are fast.

Sought-after tables, visits and accommodation in high season should be secured early. In the video call you clarify which two or three stops carry the occasion, instead of filling a long list.
