More About Rest of Italy

Art, history, culture and romance await you in Italy. Try Venice, which is a fairytale city built on more than 100 small islands. The city is a wonderful maze of narrow canal streets and ornate bridges. Float down waterways in a gondola looking out for the palaces and pretty churches. Make sure you see the Rialto Bridge, Doge‘s Palace, the Campanile Bell Tower and St. Mark's Square with its magnificent basilica, The capital of Rome offers 3000 years of history and has vast opportunities for sightseeing as well as enjoying the bustling atmosphere. Visit the ancient ruins of the Forum and the iconic Colosseum, stroll along the elegant Piazza Navona, gaze at the wondrous painted ceiling in the Sistine Chapel or stop for a photo opportunity on the Spanish Steps. Take a trip to Milan, a fashion lover's paradise where new meets old; a perfect combination of sophistication and interesting exploration. The Duomo di Milano is a unique Gothic cathedral which took nearly six centuries to complete. For a small fee, you can access the roof where you will see the many spires, statues and gargoyles along with tremendous views over Milan. Whilst in Milan, you should definitely go to the Santa Maria delle Grazie to see Da Vinci's "The Last Supper".Situated in the northeastern part of Italy, The Dolomites form part of a stunning mountain range, home to dark forests, picturesque lakes, nature parks, national parks and much more. There are well-marked hiking trails for walking enthusiasts, lots of climbing opportunities and it's a fantastic place to try rafting with a trained guide.
