Jet Set LOVE: Italy
A Love Letter to La Dolce Vita
Italy means espresso-fueled mornings, golden sunsets, unforgettable food, and that magical sense that life is meant to be enjoyed slowly (with gelato in hand, obviously). Here are the best reasons we’ll always love Italy — plus a few must-do recommendations in each stop.
1. The Colosseum: where history hits different
Standing in front of the Colosseum feels like stepping into a movie — you can practically hear the roar of the crowd from centuries ago. Add dreamy fountains, piazzas, and pasta that changes your standards forever? Instant obsession.
Book a skip-the-line Colosseum + Roman Forum tour
2. Espresso coffee: tiny cup, big personality
In Italy, espresso coffee isn’t just caffeine — it’s a lifestyle. People sip it fast, standing at the bar, and somehow look cooler doing it. It’s the best kind of daily ritual: quick, chic, perfect.
Visit Italy’s iconic espresso brand (and a great souvenir gift) — Lavazza
3. Florence: art, romance, and Renaissance magic
Florence is the kind of city that makes you slow down without realizing it. Between the Duomo, cobblestone streets, leather markets, and museum-worthy beauty on every corner — it’s pure Italian romance.
Visit the Uffizi Gallery (iconic Florence must-do)
4. Sipping limoncellos: sunshine in a glass
A moment of silence for sipping limoncellos on a terrace somewhere along the coast. Sweet, citrusy, bright — it tastes like vacation. This is Italy in a nutshell: simple pleasures that feel luxurious.
Try the Limoncello tasting experience in Sorrento
5. Riding a scooter somewhere (main character energy)
Few things feel more Italian than riding a scooter somewhere — cruising through a seaside town, past vineyards, or down tiny streets to find the best hidden café. It’s freedom + fun + a little chaos.
Try Vespa tours in Tuscany
6. Venice: the dreamiest maze on earth
Venice is unlike anywhere else — canals instead of roads, little bridges everywhere, and the kind of beauty that makes you stop mid-walk just to stare. Getting lost here is half the magic.
Try cicchetti (Venetian tapas) at Cantina Do Spade
7. Milan: fashion, aperitivo, and effortless cool
Milan is Italy’s stylish powerhouse — polished, modern, and fashion-forward. Between designer storefronts, art, and aperitivo hour, the energy is elevated and addictive.
Shop Milan’s luxury street Via Montenapoleone
8. Bonus: gelato, always
Italy doesn’t do mediocre desserts. Gelato is non-negotiable, daily, and life-changing.
Visit Florence gelato stop — Gelateria De’ Neri
Final thought: Italy is always a good idea
Italy delivers the big moments (Colosseum! Venice! Milan!) and the small ones (espresso, limoncello, scooter rides). It’s stylish, delicious, romantic, and unforgettable — which is why we don’t just visit Italy… we fall for it.
