Italy has pretty much everything a tourist could wish for. From food to art, from stunning and varied countryside to flamboyant fashion and with history and an archaelogical interest that no other European Country can boast, Italy is not surprisingly one of the most visited countries in the world.
With more than 40 Unesco World Heritage Sites, Italy has more than any other country on the planet. The great cities of Rome, Venice, Florence have dazzled its visitors for centuries, whilst Milan has embraced the business and cultural world with open arms.
Alongside Italy’s main cities, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy in the countryside. You can ski in the Alps, hike the Dolomites or dive off Sardinia’s golden coast. Adrenalin junkies can catch fireworks on Sicily’s volatile volcanoes. For many, the treasures of Italy are as simplistic as relaxing over a coffee at a streetside cafe or lingering over a long lunch in the hot Mediterranean sun.
