Italy's stunning Mediterranean coastline and climate make it a popular destination to travel to. Rural towns offer a glimpse of traditional Italian life, whilst the bustling cities provide stunning architecture, world-famous landmarks and a vibrant nightlife. Structural remnants of the Roman Empire scatter the country and a visit to a traditional Baths is a must.

Italian cuisine is world famous, and the variety and freshness of Italian produce will make any mouth water - before the ingredients even reach the chef's pan. To work up an appetite, the Italian coast provides opportunities for sailing and water-sports, whilst the northern mountain regions offer excellent skiing destinations.

Feels like Spring.... Europe » Italy » Sicily » Siracusa

Pillbox, left from WWII

Day 26 Modica Yesterday we took the bus into Noto, about and hour from here, and walked around the baroque city for a few hours...everything here closes down from 1:00 pm to 3:00pm...so it's hard to plan a trip of any distance, since we end up arriving just before closing time at 1:00! We managed to see the cathedrals and the Theater after they reopened, and before our bus (the last of the day...since it was Sunday) left at 3:55.... Today we took the train past Noto to another baroque town: Modica. This city is located in a gorge carved by [View Full Entry]

Milan and Berlin Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Milan

Bergamo old town

One weekend in Milan in Italy In late winter and early spring this year mum and dad went on two shorter trips on which they let us come along. Each of these only a weekend long so we didn't have time to see very much. But if we put these two trips together we think we have enough exciting stories to tell to make it worth writing. On the first of these trips we went to Milan and Bergamo in Italy. We were so happy to go back to Italy because we had so much fun last time we were there. [View Full Entry]

A Bit Of New Zealand In Italy Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Milan

Duomo

It was somehow ironic that we would be going to Italy of all places for a weekend of Kiwi sporting pride. And going to Milan to watch my first ever All Blacks match on a cheap Ryanair flight (£16 return), it seemed inevitable that I was going to bump into some fellow Kiwis that I knew. And sure enough, when I got off the bus from the airport at Milan's central station, I saw my old cricket mate Jacques, who I hadn't seen in years. Jacques, just like us, was here for the match and we had a bit of a [View Full Entry]

Malian sightseeing Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Milan

mv grils 3

Saturday 14.11.2009 Day 30 Malian sightseeing It was over cast and a bit cold today so we decided to take a day off from the show. We had a bit of a look around where we are staying and then looked more into buying a car. It is a lot harder than we thought it would be! We were going to buy a car in Italy on Monday use it the whole time we are in Europe but getting it registered and insurance when you are not a resident is hard and we cannot prove residency or have a fixed address.

Sicília, parte 2 Europe » Italy » Sicily » Palermo

Agrigento

Dias 78 a 81 - Pela manhã, todos ainda estavam em Catania. Fomos os quatro juntos à feira da cidade, a maior da Itália. Os preços eram ridiculamente baratos, mesmo convertendo-os para o Real. Segundo Golpal, o indiano, os preços eram baratos até para a Índia. Aproveitando-se disso, ele comprou uma ridícula blusa de cinco euros para sua namorada. Perguntou se eu queria ver sua foto. Esperava ver uma velha gorda indiana, pois Golpal já não era nenhum garoto. Em vez disso, uma belíssima jovem de vinte e poucos anos. Mesmo assim, seu presente seria uma blusa comprada em um camelô.

O Extremo Norte da África Europe » Italy » Sicily » Catania

Catania

Dias 73 a 77 - Os italianos me avisaram: “você estará saindo da Itália quando for a Sicília”. Alguns diziam ser o pior lugar da Europa, outros retratavam a ilha como um paraíso. Jamais havia pensado em chegar tão longe na Itália, mas, depois de tudo que ouvi, não poderia deixar na ilha que já foi grega, romana, árabe, normanda, e, agora, pertence à Máfia. Falassem mal ou bem, todos diziam o mesmo: “vá e veja”. Giovanni cutucou meu ombro às dez da manhã dizendo ser a hora do check-out. Nada me irrita mais do que albergues que se importam com [View Full Entry]

Funicolí, Funicolá Europe » Italy » Campania » Naples

Nápoles

Dias 68 a 72 - Uma cidade litorânea abandonada pelo poder público e dominada por um poder paralelo. Bairros onde a polícia não pode entrar. Ambulantes pelas ruas. Trânsito caótico. Pedestres que, de uma hora para a outra, podem ter seus pertences roubados por motoqueiros. Lixo e cocô de cachorro pelo chão. Como diria Ancelmo Gois, deve ser terrível viver num lugar assim. Nápoles, entretanto, ainda é uma cidade italiana - e a Itália ainda fica na Europa. Os mencionados problemas da antiga capital do Sul da Itália só chamam atenção por isso. Nápoles poderia, sem dúvidas, ser uma aprazível cidad [View Full Entry]
