Il bel paese, the beautiful country: That’s what the Italians call their own country – a country which is home to the highest alpine summits, 8,500 km of Mediterranean coastline and 60% of UNESCO’s world heritage art treasures.
Cities like Venice, which is an intricate work of art, and Rome with its spirited ancient ruins, can only be found here. And nowhere else can you eat (and drink!) as well as in the land of Pasta and Pizza, vino and gelato. Italians are renowned for their creativity and often set the trends for everything from fashion to design and lifestyle. Every trip to bel paese is sure to be a new discovery.
Florence is a miniature metropolis and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Young and old, singles and couples, art lovers, gourmets, shopaholics and globetrotters – everyone loves Florence!
There are not very many lakes that have so many varied facets and can satisfy so many different people’s idea of the perfect holiday.
The Eternal City presents its 3000-year history in the shape of emperors’ busts on the Capitoline hill, the Colosseum, Michelangelo’s Moses and Bernini’s Triton Fountain.
Sicilia eterna – the slow-paced ‘eternal’ Sicily of old really does still exist. But anyone who thinks that the confusingly chaotic districts in the Old Town is the real Sicily is definitely behind the times.
Capture the feeling of what is possibly the most wondrous city in the world with all your senses. 15 million visitors a year can't be wrong!
