Destination Information for Italy
Famed for being the birthplace of both the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, it is hardly surprising that Italy is one of the most culturally significant places in Europe. In the capital of Rome, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre of its kind ever built by the Roman Empire, giving visitors an insight into the world of gladiators. In Pompeii, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. preserved many artefacts, as mosaics and sculptures from the period were encased in lava. Guided tours of the city allow tourists to take in these rarities.
Synonymous with its canals and gondolas, the unique city of Venice is another of Italy’s attractions, with The Grand Canal the most famous of its waterways. Or if tourists are searching for natural phenomena, Lake Como is one of Italy’s most scenic areas, spectacularly enclosed by mountains at its edges.
