Italy in Winter
Italy is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world all year round. Temperatures drop, but they rarely dip towards freezing. A big Christmas market fills Piazza Navona in December, and those keen on the Christmas spirit can see many nativity scenes around Rome, including the grand affair outside St Peter's. Read more>>>

Inverno Italiano
Odyssey Travel's Inverno Italiano program contrasts the glorious cities of Rome, Florence and Venice with visits north to Verona and the mountain villages of the Dolomites and south to Naples and the stunning Amalfi Coast. The program provides time to experience each centre at leisure with stays of 3 or 4 nights in each. Read more>>>
