Tour Manager Tim recently travelled with a group to Italy's glorious Puglia region on our Puglia All Inclusive Tour. Head over to his blog to read all about their train journey and day in Lecce last week!

Italy's landscapes are truly spectacular; endless glittering coastline, ancient cities, rural regions filled with vineyards and olive groves, and of course, the lakes.

If you’re dreaming of a trip to Italy, your mouth is probably watering at the thought of the delicious food you’re likely to eat. It’s no secret this is a destination that ticks all the foodie boxes, with world-renowned cuisine to be found seemingly around every street corner.

Travellers are seeking much more than time away and great weather when it comes to choosing their next holiday. Instead, soaking up a destination’s true culture and making more of the journey itself is high on the agenda – a trend known as slow travel.

At Rail Discoveries, we like to think outside the box and offer more than your ‘Included Experiences’ on every holiday, allowing you to unwind in your chosen destination and have the break you deserve.

Italian cuisine needs little introduction, with the mere utterance of the phrase “Italian food” immediately conjuring up a myriad of mouth-watering images; crispy, wood-fired pizza, luxurious risotto, traditional platters of antipasti, and countless delectable pasta dishes.

The bastion of the takeaway world, loved by food snobs and the uncaring alike, pizza is (in my humble opinion), the best possible food to eat at anytime, anywhere.
