Destination Italy

Destination Italy
By Vivek Kuriyal


An Italian holiday destination is invariably something remarkable to look forward to. Tourists just keep getting attracted to the country which perhaps has the richest and fullest history. Many find it to be one of the most colorful and vibrant places where the food, the culture, the total ambiance and the surrounding scenery makes for an exciting and excellent holiday destination. You will feel spoiled for choice and have difficulty in picking out which one is a better tourist attraction from amongst the many attractions that Italy offers.

Apart from Rome, Florence in the centre of Italy is one place which a tourist will love to visit. People like to get a view of Brunelleschi’s dome on the Duomo but ensure that they do not miss seeing Michelangelo’s statue of David. Though Florence is an all year destination, the actual fun is to be there in summer, which is the height of the tourist season. It is considered a good idea to plan your sightseeing in Florence so as to get the most from your trip. A free town plan and a list of museum opening times and prices from the Tourist Information Office, opposite the station can be picked up to aid one in planning out his tour. Keep in mind that some museums and galleries open only in the morning, while others are closed one or two days a week.

A visitor is rarely disappointed on a tour to Italy. Every tourist is attracted to something in particular. Some like the pizza, some are taken in by the ruins, while others admire the great works of art, the hot beaches and handsome youths are a favorite with the ladies and of course, some come to taste the good wine. One point a tourist should keep in mind on Italy tours is to be open and receptive which will ensure that you will get more than you had dreamed of.

MILAN, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Italian soccer officials are to consider making Rome's Olympic stadium the permanent home for their World Cup-winning team, ending the tradition of playing games around the country.

But the suggestion could cause a political row in Italy, where there are strong regional identities, while Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has already criticised the luke-warm support for the team in Rome.Click here for more on this story
