1 Week in Sicily - 3 Unique Road Trip Itineraries
If you have a week in Sicily, it’s best to focus on one or two regions as opposed to trying to see everything. There's the wine country of the west, the medieval villages of the southeast and the giant Etna volcano in between. The following 7-day itineraries offer some of these attractions, plus incredible food, dramatic coastal views and a history and culture that stretches to time immemorial.
Spectacular Self-Drive Tour Around Sicily - 14 Days

Finish your trip in the Italian Riviera and colorful five villages of Cinque Terre.
Tuscany Road Trip: Florence, Siena & Montepulciano - 8 Days
Combine historic hill towns, fine wines, and the Tuscan countryside for an Italian eight-day road trip to remember. Get your bearings amid the Renaissance splendor of Florence, then set out into the surrounding landscapes—basing yourself first in Siena and then in Montepulciano. Along the way, you'll experience wine tastings and workshops focused on local Chianti vintages and set off on day trips to hilltop villages like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Cortona.
Northern Italy Family Road Trip: Florence, Chianti, Italian Riviera, Lake Como & Lake Garda - 10 Days
Wheel your way through northern Italy on this road trip with stops that school-aged children and parents can enjoy, with timing adjustable to your own preferences.

From there, head to the coast to wander the beaches of the Italian Riviera and then up to Lake Como to explore its luxurious shores. Wrap up your Italian sojourn on the playful shores of Lake Garda before you return to Florence.
