 View vacation packages to Italy
Italy is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Europe for good
reason. When you first think of Italy, perhaps the cities of Rome, Venice and
Florence come immediately to mind. Yet Italy can boast 20 geographically diverse
regions - each interlaced with a variety of landscapes, history, culture and
foods all waiting to be discovered!
Visitors can experience the spectrum - from Mediterranean islands and
expansive coastlines; splendid peaks and rugged mountains; glaciers, lagoons,
and extinct volcanoes; flat plains, deep gorges, gently rolling hills, thermal
waters and pine forests - all within one country. And along with this diversity
in geography and landscape, it is not uncommon to find examples of every age and
style of art and architecture in the smallest of Italian towns - transforming
them into veritable living museums. According to UNESCO, two thirds of the
world's historical artistic heritage resides in Italy. Visitors can observe
examples of the early Etruscan civilization; Roman monuments and ruins;
Romanesque architecture and Gothic cathedrals, and the masterpieces of the
Renaissance in major cities as well as many quite small towns.
Two integral parts of Italian life you will definitely want to share in
are Italian wines, derived from a 3,000-year tradition of winemaking, and the
ability to make Italian cuisine into a true gastronomical art form. But it is
probably the world-renowned Italian hospitality that makes Italy the perfect
destination for new visitors and returning visitors, season after season.
