Advice for your Italy tour.
Travelling in Italy, land of art, culture and natural beauty!

An Italy holiday to see so many art treasures of such quality, spread so well across the country: Italy can rightly be considered an open-air art gallery. No other country in the world can boast the cultural and artistic treasures of Italy. More than half the world's historical and artistic heritage is found in Italy.
