Italy – a land full of wonders

A trip to Italy is a wonderful remedy for winter depression

You can start your journey in Italy. After all, Italy is a land of wonders. Just imagine: in more than two days you can travel across the country from end to end, enjoying the beauties of nature, and at the same time get maximum pleasure from your vacation.

Since geography lessons, everyone knows that Italy is located on the Apennine Peninsula, and its outline resembles an elegant boot on a high heel. And the more observant will notice that Europe has dipped its boot into the Mediterranean Sea. Adjacent to Italy are islands such as Sicily, Sardinia, and some other smaller ones. The country is predominantly mountainous. The majestic ridges of the Italian Alps serve as a barrier against cold northern winds. The Apennine Mountains stretch across the entire peninsula. And the volcanoes – Vesuvius, Etna, and Stromboli – attract the attention of millions of tourists.

Rome is not only the oldest city in the world, but also the unique and famous capital of Italy. How pleasant it is to walk along ancient streets and squares, to look at buildings built at the beginning of the new era. Take the Pantheon – the 'Temple of All Gods'! Now it is a national mausoleum, where famous people of the country are buried. And who wouldn't want to touch history and enter the partially ruined Colosseum? To imagine how many centuries ago battles between gladiators took place. How the crowd of ancient Roman citizens awaited 'bread and circuses'.

Visit the ancient city of Pisa. There is an interesting landmark there – the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the Piazza dei Miracoli.

Italians, by virtue of their character, have a great love of song. In the country, everyone sings: young and old. It is worth citing the great opera singers as an example; they were either from Italy or had Italian roots.

Another significant reason to visit Italy is its incomparable Italian cuisine. The formation of national cuisine began in the times of Ancient Rome. The most popular dish is the pasta dish, commonly called pasta. The country has a wide variety of pasta: long without holes – spaghetti, small – vermicelli, and short with holes – bucatini. All of this is called by the general term – macaroni. Pasta is always served with tomato juice, oil, and grated cheese.

And what trip is complete without shopping? Italy is literally born for it; it is the homeland of many famous couturiers and designers. So don't hesitate to order shop tours to Italy – you won't regret it.

Without hesitation, pack up and come to Italy. Feel with every cell of your body the positive energy that this wonderful country carries. And Italy can only be compared to paradise.
