About Italy

There are more than 44 UNESCO sites in Italy, more than in any other country in the world. The cities of Art, such as Venice, Rome, and Florence, have been a mecca for visitors for many centuries. Many villages and towns remain virtually untouched, offering an incredible insight into the past.
Inland, hiking and skiing are popular, while divers will enjoy a trip to the Sardinian coast.
Italy is famous for many reasons: art, al fresco dining, excellent traditional food, culture, fashion, and its beautiful beaches.
With a relaxed way of life, the locals will be pleased to invite you to enjoy a coffee with them in the squares and streetside cafes.
