Italy
The dream vacation
Traveling to Italy is the stuff from which dreams are made. There's the home of one of the world's major religions, the sweeping coastlines of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, some of the planet's most memorable art, and of course, a cuisine that's loved the world over. And that's just the beginning of the story when you travel to Italy. If that's not enough to entice you to book your flights to Italy right now, then here's a little more.
What to do
In case you haven't gotten the idea yet, Italy is a traveler's dream. Start by flying into Rome, where sites such as the Colosseum and the Vatican will keep your camera busy. Then venture out to Venice, home to the flowing canals and singing gondoliers, or make your way to the country's fashion capital of Milan. (But just a hint: Wherever you go, prepare to be confronted with a decidedly fashionable people) Spend some time lounging on one of the gorgeous beaches of the east or west coast, and top it all off with a visit to the awe-inspiring Italian Alps. And of course, everywhere you go you'll be snapping photos of the Italian Renaissance architecture, the stunning fountains and the gracious gardens, paths and cobblestone streets.
What to eat
If you did nothing else during your travels to Italy, you could end your trip happy by simply delighting in the delicious foods. Pizza may be what comes top of mind, but there's much more to Italian cuisine. Pastas of every shape and size, sumptuous cheeses, and sauces, meats and fish are just the tip of the iceberg. If you're motivated by your stomach, this is definitely the place to be!
When to visit
With its Mediterranean location, the southern parts of the country are warm and delightful yearround, so nearly any time of year is appropriate to visit. If you're seeking winter sports, of course, then winter is the time to travel to the Italian Alps. Like many European locations, the summer months will be the most crowded, so plan accordingly.
