The beauty of slow travel

Slow travel gained traction before the pandemic and has surged in popularity since. Experts say it can be enjoyed anywhere in the world

Instead of cramming visits to the Colosseum, Vatican City and the Trevi Fountain into a few days, slow travel encourages you to spend extra days exploring both iconic and lesser-known attractions. This approach includes sipping coffee while people-watching, enjoying local cuisine, wandering through unique neighborhoods, and maintaining a flexible itinerary.

Key takeaways
