florence travel guide
Thanks to Dante and Giotto Tuscany, and especially Florence, gave their decisive contribution to the birth of Italian Renaissance.

» Tuscany holidays -Tuscany has some of the most beautiful cities and countryside in Italy and indeed in the world.
» florence holidays -Florence stands 50m. above sea level on the banks of the Arno River, in a hollow surrounded by the first Chianti hills to the south and the Fiesole hills to the north.
» Rome holidays -Rome is a city of unrivalled beauty and is continously populated with tourists from all over the world.
» Venice holidays -Today as yesterday Venice still draws visitors from all over, all of them wishing to experience its exclusive dream-like ambience: it remains a city without wheels, built on rafts supported by wooden piles, located in the middle of a vast lagoon and still looking as it did centuries ago. Half eastern, half western, half land, half sea, Venice fitted into no convenient category of place.
» cinque-terre holidays -Read about the many attractions in Genoa and the Italian cinque-terre. Includes directories to hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
» Portofino holidays -Portofino. One of the largest floristic concentrations in the Mediterranean area, a considerable variety of birds and invertebrates, important architectonic elements, and the best-known scenario in the world.
» Milan holidays -Milan (Milano), situated on the flat plains of the Po Valley, is the capital of Lombardy and Italy's richest and second largest city. Wealthy and cosmopolitan, the Milanesi enjoy a reputation as successful businesspeople, equally at home overseas and in Italy. Embracing tradition, sophistication and ambition in equal measure, they are just as likely to follow opera at La Scala as their shares on the city's stock market or their chosen football team, AC or Inter Milan, at the San Siro Stadium.
» Sicily holidays -Sicily - An Introduction for Travelers - Tourism Vacations in Sicily. The island where orange and lemon trees bloom.
» Calabria holidays -Top destinations in Calabria: Praia, Paola, Amantea, Pizzo, Tropea, Capo Vaticano, Bagnara Calabra, Scilla, Bovalino, Roccella Ionica, Copanello, Soverato, Capo Rizzuto, Ciro' Marina and Marina di Amendolara on the Costa dei Gelsomini.
» Puglia holidays -Puglia constitutes the heel of the boot represented by peninsular Italy. The "trulli" of Alberobello, the Gargano peninsula and the Eastern atmosphere of the mercantile cities define the portrait of an ancient territory, marked both by the architecture of its churches and of its castles, which are scattered throughout the western region.
» Amalfi Coast holidays -Along the "interesting" road south from Naples, you'll wind through one breathtaking vista after another, passing through Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and on to Salerno. This is the land of Enchanted April, of warm blue seas and perfumed evenings, of history both living and ancient, and of sunsets that will stay with you forever.

» Naples holidays -A database for information on Naples-area hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and inns searchable by location, type of accommodation, and desired amenities
» Positano holidays -Positano is probably the most exclusive resort on the Neapolitan cinque-terre. It appears as a white cascade of houses among vegetation, lying on terraced land and looking out on a particularly blue sea.
» Sorrento holidays -The town of Sorrento is a veteran when it comes to dealing with tourism. Many tourists visit Sorrento in its own right, many more use the seaside town as a base for exploring the Naples area or the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
