Rome was one of the first city breaks my boyfriend and I took together, and the perfect place to tick off our first wonder of the world. It had always been on our list for its history and iconic landmarks - and while it's busy and chaotic, it's still incredibly beautiful, and somewhere we'd happily return to (especially for the food!).

To explore Paris, Florence, Rome and Tuscany, and visit with our daughter who was studying abroad.

Being one of the closer cities to get to Europe from Australia, it was the cheapest place to start our travels. But alongside being affordable my partner and I chose to start our trip in Venice having heard of its beautiful structure, amazing history, and incredible culture with a combination of food, architecture, and Italian vibes.

I chose this trip because I was working in Italy at a summer camp in a nearby region, and it felt like the perfect opportunity to explore more of the area. Since I absolutely love the beach, spending my free time by the sea made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

We traveled to Turin, Italy to visit family, then we headed to Barcelona for my daughter to attend a pottery intensive, and finally to Alicante to relax on the beach!

Summer family trip to Italy

We started our Italy trip in Rome and knew we wanted to explore the south of Italy. Our plan was to make it all the way around the boot and then end in Sicily, a place my boyfriend has wanted to see for a while. We ended up skipping most of the boot because there was a really easy overnight ferry from Naples to Palermo. So off to Sicily we went!

This was a special celebration for my father-in-law's 80th birthday, to see his ancestral village of Itri with three generations of our family!

I graduated college in 2022 and the way that COVID timed out, our graduating class never got to go abroad. My group of friends still wanted the chance to travel abroad so we planned a 3 week European girls trip following our graduation in May!

My 14 year-old daughter and I were excited to take a mother-daughter trip to Europe. We chose London, Paris and Rome for the amazing site-seeing, culture, history and of course the food!

I wanted to go to Italy for the music, food, art and history! I ended up not getting to dive into the music part because in 2021 Covid restrictions were still very prevalent.

I was an architecture student before and as an architecture student, it is my dream to explore and see in person iconic buildings and structures such as the Colosseum, the Vatican City and the amazing cathedrals and churches in Italy.

I think Venice is a must, it's a magical city surrounded by water, with many canals and where theoretically.. you make a wish and it comes true.

I travelled to this destination because I was set to study abroad in Rome for the fall semester. I arrived alone and spent the first two weeks solo wandering the city and its different districts. Rome is one of the largest cities (area and population wise) in all of Europe, so there was lots to do and see!

I studied abroad in Rome and had a two week fall break from my school. I decided to take the train to Milan which was a little over three hours. My friend and I woke up super early and had made an itinerary from Friday morning to Monday afternoon.
