The Dolomites feel like a world apart, where the architecture skews Bavarian and you’re more likely to hear a guten Tag instead of buongiorno. These jagged mountains are a base for travelers seeking both thrills and peace. Spend one day mountaineering or skiing and the next bathing in the healing waters of natural hot springs. As you’re enjoying a plate of the fusion cuisine, know that all of the ingredients were likely gathered within walking distance of your table.
UNESCO World Heritage since 2009, this region is split between three regions and is famous for the iconic peaks that have this light gray and pinkish color: in the evening, when the sun goes down, the Enrosadira appears, an optical phenomenon that gives the Dolomites an incredible color palette, from pink to orange to purple.
Dining recommendations will be provided closer to your travel date, and reservations can be made on your behalf.

Why we love it for you: Perched on the ridge overlooking the sea, this is the ideal location for wide-open views of the Mediterranean Sea. A private whitewashed staircase leads to the small fishing village down below, and every turn is somehow more breathtaking than the last.
While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
We advise closed shoes such as trainers or trekking/hiking shoes.
No flip-flops are permitted as it's unsafe.
Legend has it that gods came down from heaven to the Path in order to reach the sea. In fact, the path was given its title by an Italian historian and politician in the mid-1800s, inspired by the gorgeous views of shimmering waters and the island of Capri that hikers can enjoy. This spectacular scenery is one not be missed if you are spending time on the Amalfi Coast, it is a one-way 3.7-mile guided hike, and it is easy to see why the Gods may have fallen in love with it.
