Italy Travel Guide
Italy is described lovingly as an open-air art gallery - every town and village seems to have a beautiful little church to wander round or a historic square where you can sit and enjoy a cappuccino. You will stumble over theatres and other buildings dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times.
Then there's the art itself. You'll never forget Michelangelo's David, the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, the Giotto frescoes in Assisi or Padua, practically everything in the Uffizi in Florence, let alone the Renaissance masterpieces hidden in churches across the country.
Italy is justly famed for its beautiful countryside. Green and rolling hills with emerald cypress firs and silver-grey olive groves, on every other hilltop the towers of medieval villages piercing the skies, the mysterious stone 'trulli' houses of Puglia, cobbled streets to wander round and trattorias in which to savour some of the best cuisine in the world.
The mountains offer crisp, clean vistas across unspoilt landscapes studded with wild flowers and ancient woods, and the beautiful waters of the tranquil Lake District.
Whatever your holiday interest - relaxing on a beach, walking in fantastic countryside, an active break skiing or indulging in watersports, or enjoying art and architecture, there's a place for you in Italy.
