What you get
What Italy Tour Packages from Delhi Involve
The best way to reach Italy from Delhi is a non-stop flight to Rome or Milan when the route operates, otherwise a one-stop connection via a Gulf or European hub. The journey takes about 9.5 hours in the air, and a 7–14 day trip works best.
Delhi is one of the few Indian cities with non-stop service to Italy, which changes how you plan. Air India and ITA Airways can operate direct flights to Rome and/or Milan, so confirm dates and the operating carrier before booking. When non-stop seats are unavailable or expensive, connections through Gulf or European hubs add a stop but widen choice.
Because Delhi has direct access, an open-jaw itinerary is practical: fly into Rome and out of Milan, or the reverse. That removes a long return leg across Italy and lets a 10-day trip cover Rome, Florence and Venice without backtracking. Packages from Delhi typically bundle flights, Schengen visa guidance, hotels, high-speed train sectors and some transfers, with the land portion priced separately from airfare.

Italy Trip Lengths Compared
Seven days suits a compact Rome–Florence–Venice route, while 10–14 days allows a less rushed multi-region itinerary with the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Sicily or Lake Como. Longer trips reduce travel fatigue and add regional depth.
7 days
Best forFirst-time visitors who want the classic Rome–Florence–Venice circuit.
StrengthsCovers the headline cities; lower land cost; fits a single week of leave.
Trade-offsFast pace; little time for day trips or rest; one city per two days.
10 days
Best forTravellers who want the classic circuit plus a Tuscany or Lake Como add-on.
StrengthsBalanced pace; room for a day trip; open-jaw flights work well.
Trade-offsHigher land cost; more hotel changes; needs tighter train planning.
14 days
Best forMulti-region trips adding the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Sicily or Lake Como.
StrengthsLess rushed; covers north and south; better for honeymoons and families.
Trade-offsHighest cost; more internal transport; needs careful visa and hotel planning.
Choose based on how much moving you want. Every extra city adds a hotel change and a train or transfer, so a 7-day trip should stay on one corridor.
Travel tips
Travelling to Italy from Delhi — What to Know
Delhi travellers should apply for the Schengen visa through the Italian consular jurisdiction and authorised visa application centre, allow about 15 calendar days for processing, and confirm non-stop flight dates before locking hotels. Airport choice at both ends shapes the route.
Apply for the Schengen visa early
Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa before travel; there is no visa on arrival. Apply through the Italian consular jurisdiction and authorised visa application centre, normally no more than six months before travel. The official adult fee is EUR 90 plus service charges, and normal processing is commonly 15 calendar days but can take longer.
Documents
Choose Rome or Milan based on your route
Rome Fiumicino suits central and southern routes; Milan Malpensa suits northern Italy, the lakes and open-jaw itineraries. If you fly into one and out of the other, you avoid a long return leg across Italy.
Flights
Confirm non-stop operating dates
Air India and ITA Airways can operate non-stop Delhi–Rome and/or Delhi–Milan services, but schedules change by season. Confirm the operating carrier and dates before you build the itinerary around a direct flight.
Flights
Book high-speed trains in advance
Frecciarossa and Italo fares rise as departure nears. Reserve Rome–Florence–Venice–Milan sectors once your dates are fixed, and keep luggage light for station transfers.
Transport
Carry the right documents
Submit passport, application form, photograph, travel insurance, accommodation proof, itinerary, financial evidence, employment or business documents and biometrics. Apply to Italy when Italy is your main destination, or the first-entry country when stays are equal.
Documents
Plan around Delhi departure timings
Most Delhi–Italy flights leave late night or early morning. Reach Indira Gandhi International Airport three hours before an international departure, and allow buffer time if you connect via a Gulf or European hub.
Airport
Budget for city transit
Urban single fares in Rome, Milan, Naples and Turin are about EUR 1.50–2.00. Venice uses water buses. For the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany and rural Sicily, private vehicles or airport transfers are more practical than public transport.
Budget
Pick the season deliberately
April–June and September–October give comfortable weather and more manageable crowds. January, February and November are often cheaper outside festivals, though cooler and wetter.

Summer, especially June to August, is often underestimated because heat, crowds and long queues make Rome, Florence and Venice tiring; the Vatican queue can last several hours without an early reservation. April–June and September–October are more often recommended for milder weather and fewer crowds.
The recurring mistake is trying to fit too many cities into a short trip—such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan and the Amalfi Coast in seven to ten days—leaving little time for the destinations themselves. Travellers also report problems when they do not reserve high-demand attractions and trains in advance.
Rome is the most practical first base because it concentrates major first-trip sights— the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican Museums, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain—and connects well with the rest of the country. Trastevere is suggested for atmosphere, while the Termini area is convenient for rail and airport connections.
Families learn that frequent hotel changes, cobblestones, stairs and long attraction days create more luggage and fatigue than expected; two or three nights per base, relaxed starts and planned breaks work better. Couples often prefer fewer, quieter bases—such as Venice, Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast—rather than adding another rushed city.
Questions, answered
Before you go
Straight answers on planning Italy from Delhi, from connections to what a quote covers.
8 answered below
Still unsure?
Ask a specialist anything about Italy from Delhi — there’s no obligation.
Yes. Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa before travelling to Italy, and there is no tourist visa on arrival. Apply through the Italian consular jurisdiction and authorised visa application centre with your passport, itinerary, insurance, accommodation and financial evidence.
How much does an Italy tour package cost from Delhi?
A typical land-only twin-sharing package is indicatively ₹85,000–₹3,75,000 per person, depending on duration, hotels, season and inclusions. International airfare from Delhi is usually separate unless your quote states otherwise, so confirm what the package covers.
What is the best time to visit Italy from Delhi?
April to June and September to October are generally best for comfortable weather, sightseeing and more manageable crowds. January, February and November are often cheaper outside festivals, though cooler and wetter, which suits budget-focused Delhi travellers.
How many days are enough for an Italy trip from Delhi?
Seven days covers a compact Rome–Florence–Venice route. Ten to fourteen days allows a less rushed multi-region itinerary, adding the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Naples, Sicily or Lake Como. Longer trips reduce travel fatigue and add regional depth.
Which cities are included in an Italy tour package?
Common combinations include Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan. The Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Naples, Sicily or Lake Como may be added. Packages from Delhi often use an open-jaw route, arriving in Rome and departing from Milan or the reverse.
Is Italy expensive for Indian tourists?
It can be expensive in peak summer and in central historic districts, but regional trains, advance bookings and 3-star accommodation can reduce costs. Urban single transit fares are about EUR 1.50–2.00, and high-speed train fares vary substantially by advance purchase.
Which airport is best for an Italy tour from Delhi?
Rome Fiumicino is convenient for central and southern routes, while Milan Malpensa is useful for northern Italy, the lakes and open-jaw itineraries. Delhi can have non-stop service to Rome and/or Milan, so match the airport to your route.
Can I travel to other European countries with an Italy Schengen visa?
Generally yes, within Schengen rules and the visa validity, provided Italy remains the main destination when Italy issued the visa. Keep your itinerary and accommodation proof consistent with the application, and confirm current rules before adding another country.
