Before describing most popular attractions of the land and adventures
of Italy, let us define what you are expecting when you
travel Italy?
Is it enjoying the world's greatest masterpieces and historical
monuments of different artistic periods, visiting dozens of museums
with unique art collections, treating yourself to the countries'
cuisine specials or designer shopping or getting into a romantic affair
with a stately gondolier...
Even if you strive for all these, it is not too much. Your travel to Italy can become an
unforgettable adventure by itself.
Some tips to make it even more pleasurable are as follows: plan ahead
to be sure of what you really want to see and to do, consider several
tour operators for the best prices and offers and try avoiding the
'hottest' seasons when every street is crowded with tourists. One more
thing: get familiarized with the local traditions and law requirements.
Italians are known all over the globe for their friendly and open
nature and a unique ability to enjoy life as it abstracting from
everyday cares, so take a chance to learn from them. Step away from the
beaten paths and don't make your Italian holiday a non-stop
'must-put-a-tick' marathon. Of course, it doesn't mean that you should
not visit the most popular attractions the country is generously
blessed with.
Discover Italy with all your five senses: look at the faces of people
that you meet in the streets, pay attention to the trifles your guide's
hands do not point to, touch the ancient bricks of Pompeii ruins, taste
the freshly-made olive oil that is so delicious you can drink it,
listen to the serenades of oarsmen while floating along Venetian Grand
Canal and to the sounds of Rome's
vivacious and busy nights and smell the salty breeze of the
Mediterranean. Cities are best explored through a walk. Open your mind
to the new impressions and fresh feelings and your travel to Italy can
become a most rememberable trip of your life.
