Italy Tours & Vacations 2021-2022

After a year of closed borders, our Italian travel specialists are eager to introduce visitors to the history, culture, food, and wine found across every region. Because Italy is one of the world’s most popular destinations for international travelers, we expect limited availability for 2021 and 2022 as travelers finally take trips postponed from 2020.

If you prefer to travel during the summer season, we suggest booking your trip 14+ months in advance. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, we recommended that travelers to Italy book their trip between 12-14 months in advance, but now recommend planning even further ahead.

Once Italy opens its borders, last-minute trip planning will be possible, and your Zicasso travel specialist can help bring your fantastic vacation plans into reality. But until then, we recommend submitting your Trip Request to begin planning for your dream trip to Italy now and book when you are ready.

Italy has not yet opened to travelers, but you can plan ahead for your next vacation through Zicasso for travel in 2021, 2022, or even into 2023. An international trip has always brought important questions, and now visiting a new country after Covid-19 could have inspired new answers.

“Do I have to wear a mask on domestic flights?” “Will I be able to see Michelangelo’s David?” “Can I eat inside a Michelin-starred restaurant?” “How will I travel from Venice to Rome or reach a Tuscan village?” “Are the beaches open?” “Do I need a negative Covid-19 test before returning home, and how can I get one?” Your travel expert will be able to answer your specific questions and more before you book your trip. A travel specialist can handle any emergency that may come up in connection to your trip, as well — from changing your transportation option to a last-minute additional tour.

If you are thinking about traveling to Italy, you can fill out Zicasso’s Trip Request to speak with an Italy travel specialist.

The best time to visit Italy is during the first half of May, the second half of August, or the last half of October.

Visiting Italy in the summer months has changed in the past decade because the second half of August has become a great time to visit due to smaller crowds and the waning summer heat.
