Italy has one of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in Europe; the world’s greatest hoard of art treasures; a delicious and authentic national cuisine; and more Unesco World Heritage cultural sites than any other country on Earth.
Italy’s cities are on many a traveller’s bucket list, and for good reason – they offer an enticing mix of scenery, historic and ancient sites, and of course, great cuisine. Rome is home to baroque churches, art-filled museums and the ancient Colosseum. The canals and narrow streets of Venice make it one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the country. Florence is an important Renaissance architectural and art centre, home to the Duomo and Michelangelo’s “David”.
And let’s not forget Milan, Naples, Verona, Turin, Genoa, Siena – the list is endless!

“Ciao” is simple, effective, and is the most common way of saying both hello and goodbye informally. However, when you’re first introduced to an Italian, it’s best to say “buongiorno” rather than “ciao,” as the latter is used only amongst close friends.
