Tips For Travelers Planning To Visit Italy

By Arturo Schulze


There are so many things that Italy is famous for. It has plenty of historical sites, breathtaking sceneries and landscapes and of course, we must not forget the finest wines.

Are you planning a vacation to Italy in the near future? There are some things that you will just have to do when you get there.

One of the best places to begin your trip should be by visiting the Vatican in Rome. To the citizens it is called 'stato della citi del vaticano' which in English translates to the state city of the Vatican. It is a landlocked city and state at the same time surrounded by a wall. It is ruled by the Pope of the Catholic Church.

With a population of about 800, the Vatican has a total area of 44 hectares. Some places of interest for you to visit while in there should be the Renaissance church, St. Peter's cathedral and the Popes very own official residence, the Sistine chapel.

If you are still in Rome and have more time then your next stop should be their colosseum which came to completion in 80 A.D. this is a very big arena that used to be where the public games were held every so often.

The city of Venice is also another beautiful location to visit. You can go take a look at michelangelo's statue of David and also visit the Uffizi gallery. After these you will still have the Basillica di San Lorenzo to see and the Ponte vecchio.

What would a trip to Italy be without a tour of their finest wines? You will have to taste their finest beginning with the Montalcino, the Chainti and the Cabarnet Sauvignon.

Out of all their fine wines, the Brunello di Montalcino is admired as the 'Rolls Royce' of all their Italian wines.
