Where to book a trip to italy

Planning a trip to Italy might be difficult because this country offers such a wide range of entertainment. If a car tour of Italy is not particularly advisable, it is best to choose a famous city in order to spend an Italian vacation. Each city in Italy has treasures that tourists should discover during a visit there.

Rome

Located on the Tiber, Rome has a long history as the capital of the Roman Republic, Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church and modern Italy. Rome tours
Some of the main attractions of Rome are free to visit, and others can be visited after having purchased one of the cards or tickets available for tourists. The oldest sites are in the historical centre of Rome, so you can see many of them in one day. Even if you do not have time to visit, just walking along the streets can be a fantastic experience. Rome trips
Colosseum – it remains the most famous and largest arena ever built by the Romans. The Pantheon – it has unquestionably perfect proportions that made it the "Miracle of Rome" in antiquity. Vatican – it is the centre of the Catholic Church and an independent state governed by the Pope. A visit to the Vatican City should include Piazza San Pietro, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel famous for Michelangelo's frescoes. Fontana di Trevi – according to folklore, one has to throw a penny in the fountain to make sure that he or she will return to Rome.

Venice

Venice is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world and it was included among the UNESCO World Heritage areas. The atmosphere remained almost unchanged for the past six centuries, mostly because in Venice, cars are not a common sight. If you are in a hurry, you might want to try the famous gondolas and water-taxis. Things to see in Venice
A Venice tour should include Basilica San Marco, the Doge's Palace which was the centre of old Venetian administration, the legendary Casanova prison, and the Clock Tower. Tourists should not forget about the Bridge of Sighs where authorities used to tie old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. A visit to the Glass Museum on the island of Murano will certainly be memorable, too. Things to eat in Venice
One of Venetian specialities is sepia. Its ink is used in sauces and as an ingredient for polenta, rice or pasta. Due to Austrian influences, popular dishes include wild duck with sardines and tomato sauce, and Viennese veal liver served with polenta.
