What to see:
Rome is the country’s capital and consists of the Roman Forum, with its amazing array of ruined temples, the world-famous Colosseum, the Pantheon and St Peter’s Basilica.
Milan is the fashion capital of Italy. The city is also home to Leonardo’s paint the “Ultima Cena” (Last Supper); La Scala, the world’s premier opera house; and the Gothic Dome.
Venice has popular water canals with condoles. The great architectural showpiece of Venice is undoubtedly St Mark’s Square. Other highlights include the amazing Basilica di San Marco. The Doge’s Palace - the Palazzo Ducale an example of Venetian Gothic art.
The Grande Canal is, well, a grand canal with incredible houses lining it and boats putting up down this water way.
The best way to visit Venice by bike is to stand in front of your hotel or hostel, determine which direction the tourist attractions lie and start biking in the opposite direction.
The Italian lake-district juts into the heart of a steep mountain range (The Alps), surrounded by fertile farmlands and fields of gently swaying flowers.
This is a great place for tourists who would like to go hiking, windsurfing or just enjoy the magnificent landscapes. The most famous are Garda and Como lake.
When to travel:
Packages are priced differently during peak season and off-season. Hotels in Rome charge more during Christmas, New Year’s, Easter and during other religious occasions. Prices are lower during the fall and early spring, but the weather can be a bit cooler. But this is the best time to book your package if you want to enjoy low prices and face fewer crowds.
What to pack:
During the summer (July - August - September) you’ll need light clothing, but don’t forget to pack a pullover or a light jacket for the evenings when, especially at the seaside or on the mountains, the temperature might suddenly drop.
Spring (March - April - May) and Autumn (September - October - November) are characterized by unstable weather and often require a layering system of clothing.
Always bring comfortable shoes, get ready for a lot of walking: after all renaissance town were not build for cars and most city centers are closed to traffic.
