Italy (Rome, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Venice, Montepulciano)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Italy is a country in southern Europe renowned for its extraordinary concentration of art, architecture, history, and cuisine. From the ancient ruins and Vatican splendour of Rome to the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence, the Byzantine grandeur of Venice, and the medieval hill towns of Siena, Assisi, and Montepulciano, it offers an unmatched depth of cultural experience. Bologna is celebrated as one of Europe's great food cities and home to the world's oldest university, while the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside draw visitors with rolling vineyards, olive groves, and renowned wines like Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Travellers come for world-class museums, iconic landmarks, slow food culture, and the sheer variety of distinct regional identities packed into a single country.

Classic Italy: Rome to Venice, Self-Launched on a Backpacker Budget

A self-launched version of Soleto Travel's 8-day escorted "Classic Tour of Italy from Rome" — same loop through Rome, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Venice and Montepulciano, but done independently using trains, buses and city passes. You'll pay for the same headline experiences individually: hop-on-hop-off Rome, basilica visits, a Tuscan lunch in Santa Croce, a Bologna food walk, cicchetti and a Spritz in Venice, a Montepulciano cellar tasting, and a pre-booked skip-the-line Vatican Museums ticket. Costs assume an intercity pass for the main rail legs, hostel or budget-guesthouse dorm/private rooms, and supermarket-plus-trattoria eating. All figures are approximate 2025–26 backpacker rates and exclude flights to/from Italy.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Italy (Rome, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Venice, Montepulciano) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
