Europe > Italy
Live la dolce vita in Italy. A rich tapestry of history,
artistry and culinary delight awaits you in the home of passion and pasta.
A sense of history lives on in modern Rome. Among the city’s stylish modern designs
and inhabitants, relics of the Roman Empire
continue to stand as monuments of past greatness. See the remnants of the Coliseum,
once the world’s greatest entertainment theatre, or take in the city’s famous
football derby, between Roma and Lazio. It’s an experience you won’t forget in
a hurry!
The northern city of Milan
offers an interesting mix of the industrial and the stylish. While much of the
city’s outskirts are dotted with factories and industrial architecture, the
city centre is all about shirts, skirts and whether dots will be next season! Milan fashion week is only the tip of the iceberg: Milan is the home of
world design.
Further South, Italy has acre upon acre of
glorious countryside which is home to a number of the world’s great vineyards.
Warm, dry weather awaits you throughout the year. All that heat will make you
want to cool off – you’ll want to take a dip in the warm but refreshing water
of the Mediterranean. If cycling and walking
are what you are looking for in your holiday, this part of Italy has a
fantastic selection of routes to suit all levels.
Sicily
sits surrounded by the glorious waters of the Med. If you are looking to unwind
and catch some rays, Sicily offers a
beautifully relaxing break at a slower pace of life than mainland Italy’s feisty
cities.
Skiing conditions in Italy’s mountain resorts are among
the best in the world. Sharing the Alps with Germany
and Austria, northern Italy’s ski
season runs from October to March and attracts visitors from around the globe.
Whether you are a beginner in need of some expert advice, an enthusiast looking
to engage your passion or a wannabe snowboarder, Italy’s fine resorts will cater for
you.
Northern Italy has a similar climate to much of central Europe, but gets hot during the summer months. Southern Italy and the islands can become incredibly hot
over the summer months and is best to visit during the spring and autumn.
