Don't miss these sights when you travel to Italy
Italy is a breathtakingly beautiful country that will always be
one of the highlights for anyone's travel to Europe. It has
everything from the impossibly blue Mediterranean Sea to the
spectacular Alps, with fabulous food at every stop along the
way. And while you are there, you can't help but trip over
history with every step you take. Here are few things you cannot
miss when you travel to Italy:
--Venice. Think about it. How many movies have you seen
that were set in this romantic city? Well there is a reason. If
there is a city with more charm and magic than Venice, someone
is keeping it a very tight secret. (Oh sure, I can just hear
those Parisians objecting that their's is the most romantic
city, but those folks are hardly objective. Besides, this is an
article about Italy.) The "streets" are waterways and the city
is gradually sinking into the Adriatic Sea. But don't worry, it
will still be there by the time you get there to see it all.
--The Roman Colosseum.Talk about the original home for
extreme games. You can almost hear the ghosts of gladiators
clashing their swords and signing multi-drachma contracts with
their agents. The Colosseum is both a spectacular and grim
place, considering the many senseless acts of violence that
occurred here. Kind of like the beauty pageants are today.
--Florence. If you aren't already an art lover, you will
be after visiting Florence. Walk in the footsteps of
Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Raphael and your life will be forever
changed. One word of warning however, if you are already prone
to feelings of penis envy or inadequacy, Michelangelo's 18-foot
statue of David, may not be your cup of tea.
--The Vatican. The art, architecture, history and sheer
aura of this place will leave you speechless.
