Culture fans are in for a real treat in Italy, without a doubt, the capital of the world when it comes to opera, painting and sculpture, almost every city has excellent galleries, museums and concert halls. The most famous are the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, La Scala Opera House in Milan, and the incredible hoard of treasures that the Catholic Church has put together at the Vatican City.
The eternal city, Rome was once the centre of the greatest empire in history, and many of the wonderful buildings of the era still remain, including the vast Colossuem, and the Forum.
Milan is the centre of the world to this days as far as fashion is concerned, and the sheer number of boutiques and designer shops in the city will baffle you and empty your bank account before you have a chance to say "I'm only browsing."
The most romantic city in the world is how the locals describe timeless Venice, and just a few days cruising the canals in a gondola in this achingly beautiful city is a wonderful experience.
Naples has excellent beaches, and close by; you can visit the buried cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and hear stories about their fateful destruction caused by the eruption of the still active volcano, Mount Vesuvius.
Off the mainland, the Island of Sicily, redolent with myth of the Mafia is an area that seems quiet by comparison with Italy, and is a relaxing place to unwind, and feel a pace of life that is welcoming at one of the excellent coastal resorts.
