As well as the glitz and glamour there is a rich cultural history, which can be seen in the many cathedrals and art galleries dotted round the city – in which some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous works can be seen.
For a taste of Roman history, head to Rome itself (for all roads lead to Rome apparently)
Many flock to Rome to experience a taste of the Romantic, with a rich mix of architectural styles and some of the more instantly recognisable tourist attractions – such as the Colloseum and the Vatican – to explore and enjoy.
For those looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, there are a wide range of hotels in Italy that cater for the more serene side of the country.
Indeed, the region of Tuscany remains popular with those looking to get away for a relaxing break in the Mediterranean countryside.
However, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy is one that doesn’t stand anymore, but has a significant history.
Today, the ancient city of Pompeii – which was engulfed by an eruption of Mt Vesuvius – remains popular with visitors to the region.
With a wide variety of hotels and sights in some of Europe’s most beautiful cities, you’ll never be short of things to see, do, eat and experience.
