One of the reasons that I love visiting the continent is that there’s just so much history. For such a relatively small geographical area, the diversity of the culture is pretty amazing – from the Moorish influences in Spain right up to the Viking and Saxon heritages of northern regions. Italy is home to probably some of the most interesting historical sites and I have a massively long list of places that I need to get to. I’ve been to Rome and taken a whistlestop walking tour of Genoa during a cruise but that’s really it and I’d really like to check out some of Italy’s other highlights such as…

Laura visited Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, exploring the stunning remains of the roman city before heading to the summit of mainland Europe's only active volcano.

We climb an ancient greek staircase & take a rickety chairlift journey to the top of Mount Solaro, home to the best views in Capri.

Keri has a chat with Damiano, the man behind Seable, a company that offers accessible holidays to Sicily.

We take a look at five of the top places to visit in Italy including Venice, Florence and Lake Como.
