Before booking your Italy tour, it's important to understand what is covered in the package price and what you'll need to pay for separately. While inclusions may vary by itinerary, most Italy tour packages include the following:
Italy is well connected to India through direct as well as one-stop flights, making it one of the easiest European destinations to reach. Most travellers book flights to Rome, Milan, or Venice, depending on their itinerary, with Rome being the most common arrival city for first-time visitors.
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa to visit Italy. This visa allows you to travel to Italy and other Schengen countries, such as France, Switzerland, Austria, and Greece, for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
As of June 2026, the Schengen visa fee is currently €90 for adults (approximately INR 9,000-10,000 depending on exchange rates), plus applicable VFS service charges totalling INR 9630 per adult. For children aged 6 to 12, the fee is INR 4,820, and children below 6 are exempt. Standard processing takes 15 to 20 working days after submission of complete documents, though this can extend to 6 to 8 weeks during peak travel periods. It is best to apply at least 6 to 8 weeks before your planned departure.
Biometrics and document submission must be done in person at a VFS Global centre, with locations across major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
Thrillophilia provides hotel vouchers, day-by-day itinerary documents, intercity transport confirmations, and a complete pre-departure document checklist for all Italy package bookings. While we do not submit the visa application on your behalf, we make sure your documentation is in the exact format required for a smooth Schengen application.
Italy is compact compared to most countries, but each city has its own personality, and most Italy tour packages from India are built around a handful of these highlights.
Rome is where most Italy trips from India begin, and it easily deserves two to three days on its own. The Colosseum and Roman Forum take you straight into ancient history, while Vatican City, a separate sovereign state within Rome, is home to St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo's famous ceiling.
Florence is often the second stop on an Italy itinerary and is best known for its art and architecture. The Uffizi Gallery houses works by Botticelli and Michelangelo, while the Duomo, with its famous red dome, dominates the city skyline.
Venice is unlike anywhere else in Italy, built across a network of canals with no cars allowed in the historic centre. St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and a gondola ride through the smaller canals are the highlights most travellers plan around.
Milan is often included as an arrival or departure city, but it has plenty to offer on its own, from the stunning Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade. It is also the gateway for day trips to Lake Como, one of Italy's most scenic lake destinations.
Pisa, famous for its Leaning Tower, is usually visited as a half-day stop between Florence and other cities. The Amalfi Coast, with towns like Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi, is often added as an extension for travellers who want coastal scenery and a slower pace toward the end of their trip. As per Thrillophilia, families love this experience and it also is included in the Italy family tour package.
At Thrillophilia, we believe that some journeys stay with you long after you return home, not because of the places you visit alone, but because of the memories you create along the way. Reflecting on her Italy holiday, Ananya Rao, who booked the Iconic Italy | Group Tour Package in April 2026, shared that “Italy is everything that we see on social media, from Rome's Colosseum and Florence's world-renowned art galleries to Venice's picturesque canals, all in one trip.” She particularly appreciated the well-paced itinerary, noting that it allowed her to experience the country's most iconic destinations comfortably without ever feeling rushed or exhausted at the end of the day.
Beyond its iconic landmarks, Italy offers unforgettable experiences that bring its culture, cuisine, and scenic beauty to life.

Italy can be visited throughout the year, but the best time depends on the kind of experience you want. While summer is perfect for coastal destinations and beach holidays, spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. For most Indian travellers, April to June and September to October are considered the best months to visit Italy.
Spring brings pleasant temperatures between 12°C and 22°C, making it one of the best times for sightseeing. Parks and countryside areas are full of flowers, and cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice are comfortable to explore on foot. Crowds are moderate compared to summer, and the weather is ideal for outdoor activities.
Summer is Italy's peak tourist season, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 32°C. It is the best time to visit destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, Cinque Terre, and Sicily. Days are longer, and most tourist services operate at full capacity. However, popular attractions can be crowded, and hotel prices are usually at their highest.
Autumn offers comfortable temperatures between 14°C and 24°C and is a favourite season among many travellers. The weather remains pleasant, crowds begin to reduce, and the countryside looks beautiful during the grape harvest season. It is an excellent time for sightseeing, food experiences, and exploring regions like Tuscany.
Winter is the quietest season, with temperatures ranging from 2°C to 12°C. Travellers can enjoy lower hotel prices and fewer crowds at major attractions. December is especially festive, with Christmas markets and holiday decorations across many cities. Northern Italy is also popular for skiing during this time.
Food is one of the best parts of visiting Italy. From fresh pasta and pizza to delicious desserts, there is something for everyone. Indian travellers will also find plenty of vegetarian and Indian food options in major cities.
Vegetarian travellers generally find Italy easy to manage. Many restaurants serve vegetarian pizzas, pasta dishes, risotto, soups, and salads. You can also ask for dishes to be prepared without meat.
If you are craving Indian food, you will find several Indian restaurants in major cities:
These restaurants serve popular Indian dishes such as curries, naan, biryani, and vegetarian meals.
If you have any dietary preferences, it is a good idea to inform your hotel, tour guide, or tour operator in advance. Most restaurants included in guided tours can arrange vegetarian meals when notified beforehand. This helps make your dining experience more comfortable throughout your Italy trip.
Italy is generally a safe destination for tourists, but a few simple precautions can help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.
Planning an Italy trip from India involves coordinating a Schengen visa, international flights, intercity train transfers, hotel bookings across multiple cities, and attraction tickets. Thrillophilia takes care of these arrangements, allowing you to focus on enjoying your holiday rather than managing logistics.
The value of this support is often reflected in traveller feedback. For example, Harish Garg, who travelled on the Best of Switzerland & Italy | Roman Streets to Snowy Alps package in April 2026, highlighted how Thrillophilia’s guidance enhanced his overall experience. He particularly appreciated the recommendation to include Cinque Terre, which became one of the standout highlights of his trip. He also noted the clear step-by-step assistance with the Schengen visa process, seamless coordination of transfers and bookings, and skip-the-line access at major attractions. Sharing his experience, he mentioned that “not a single day had a coordination issue,” and added that the skip-the-line tickets at the Colosseum saved nearly two hours, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable day in Rome. Such experiences reflect Thrillophilia’s commitment to making Italy holidays smooth, well-organised, and hassle-free from start to finish.

Italy is one of the most vegetarian-friendly countries in Europe because many traditional dishes are naturally meat-free. Pizza, pasta, risotto, bruschetta, and vegetable-based preparations are widely available across both cities and smaller towns. Indian travellers also benefit from Indian restaurants in Rome, Milan, Florence, and Venice, along with supermarkets that stock easy vegetarian options. It is still advisable to ask about ingredients such as meat broth or animal rennet when ordering.
Italy can be relatively costly for Indian travellers, especially in popular cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. A 7-day trip could cost approximately INR 90000 to INR 1.5 lakh per person. This covers mid-range accommodations, meals, local transportation, and basic sightseeing. Additionally, you can book Italy tour packages if you wish to have an all-inclusive experience within your budget.
