Italy's summer-15 days Italy travel notes (full article with Raiders)

Italy's summer-15 days Italy travel notes (full story)

Background and preparation:

Probably every Chinese people want to have the opportunity to travel to Italy, there is history in the humanities, food, fashion and beauty center.

There is a visitors long tourist paradise. 2006 is the official Italian Culture year, therefore, there is more information about Italy and yearning. However, his trip to Europe, after all, some difficult, not only is the cost of expensive, more visa, holiday (at least 2 weeks of holidays), so until now, have to go to any European (EU) countries, and one of the most recommendable is Italy.

Since the baby after, LP and I terminates all travel.

For the love of travel for us, this time there is some suffocating. On the other hand, more and work under pressure and do the parents of some of our life. Living in the us seem much too many mediocre and disappointment (at least we have felt this way). "Dull life need to sprinkle with a little salt!"-this is our famous in University dormitories, at this time, the chance of a lifetime. Because a meeting, at the end of July, I actually got a chance to meet in Milan. It is the "right time, right place and right choice", unique to our dilemma was only eight-month-old daughter, after all, had never left her for so long. Finally thanks dad mom took the initiative to help us, in particular the father actually used leave to care for your baby. Some feel ashamed to say, because they have ever been to Italy, but we fell behind in this regard. Dad MOM for Italy impression is very good, so I fully support our plan. So in this summer season, we ushered in a rare 2 weeks Italy holidays.

Before going to Thailand, Australia, Cambodia, etc is done a lot of homework, prepare it in all its aspects are very full.

However, this time is different, we have found very little time to prepare, after all, from the work and life, we all have other aspects need to be aware of. Fortunately, from the economic front, we also have a greater tolerance, so it's more journeys in preparation, more convenient and comfortable from the point of view.

Reference:

LP has discovered a very good website: www.go2eu.com, should a group in the European study of Chinese students to exchange experience of website poor tour, there are a lot of travel experience, at least for self-help and backpackers, absolute is Europe's first travel information sources.

In comparison, it should be better than LP (lonely planet) to practical. In the above Ctrip travels and communication seems to be not so good.

It is worth noting that before the trip, travel, airport bought a Chinese version of the travel all over the world-Italy, all coated paper, color printing.

Should be similar from Japan LP traveler manual introduction. About 70 Yuan or so, with very detailed maps, all the travel information. Absolute is an exceptional value! this book with our entire trip. In English not wonderful Italy, there is a Chinese Wizard, is very important. Strongly recommended, there is no need to buy the LP.

Stroke:

According to the results of the study, in conjunction with our own meeting schedule, we organize a 14-day trip:

7/21: Beijing direct flight to Rome;

7/21-7/25: 4 days, 4 nights in Rome (somewhat long, three days should be allowed.

Idea to subsequent meetings);

7/26-7/29; 3-night 3 day, 2 days in Milan (meeting, 1-day trip.

LP's 3-day travel);

7/29-7/31, 3 days, 2 nights in Venice;

7/31-8/2, 2 days, 2 nights; Florence

8/2, Rome direct flight to Beijing;

Because of the reason for the meeting, so it is not the best.

If you have a choice, Rome and Milan are all cut in a day, from Rome, take the train to Napoli seaside ride for two days. 14 days, for a non-art or history lovers can probably put Italy to the major cities.

Visa:

Despite the company's invitation, Italy visa remains has their own for visas to experience the most painful.

The visa officer's arrogant and rude almost let himself gave this chance. Not only was a whim, he also went to the Embassy on the road, hang up your car, LP phone broke. It is said that the individual applying for a visa to travel to Italy with almost no chance, but we have no other way. Should the Chinese proverb-strewn. Anyway, finally we got the short travel visa. So far, still do not understand the Italy of the visa officer what cattle, Frank, where the economic level and almost Chinese metropolis.

Rows:

Beijing-Rome-Beijing, we selected the Air China.

Anyway, as Alitalia's reputation. However imparted Air China's business class is the General conditions.

Care home, the whole is the train, use of the national railway network in Italy, http://www.trenitalia.com

All booking online, by credit card ticketless, direct selection of the seat, print e-ticket confirmation.

Strongly recommend (of course need travel confirmation). With luck, you can also buy tickets of 15 euros. From Rome to Milan, we opted for the night of the IC to experience again double soft sleeper trains in Europe. Other we choose EuroStar is faster.

Live:

Europe's accommodation is expensive, it is important to be prepared.

Including B & B prices are also very impressive, especially in the holiday months. After countless online nowSolutions and strategy study, based on the comfort and convenience, we have chosen a sixingjiudian next to the station (Italy's 4-star is Asia's four star!), in Venice chose Center guest side B & B, select a train station in Florence hostel next to. In Milan is the company's hotel. Personally think that the entire accommodation for the entire trip relatively successful, Hotel Plus B & B combinations more reasonable, be able to experience the different means of travel. Of course, the experience is the hotel location is the most important, do not have to save a few euros, at the expense of the location, near the train station and public transport centre, the hotel is very suitable for this kind of personal travel. Very proud of the entire journey without pay for a taxi, basically drag the box to the place.

Of course after you select a location, is the price.

This time it took www.hotels.com respectively and www.hostelsclub.com

Booked hotels and B & B, the price is good.

As follows:

Bettoja Atlantico Hotel in Rome: four star, location-good breakfast special rich (really belong to the European rare).

Booking through hotels.com, four-night should be USD555 value for money;

Milan: company's Hotel, Hotel Manin, generally;

Venice: Ca ' Dalisera, B & B, next to the guest, the host was very good, location is excellent, there is a sense of family.

Each night, breakfast included, through EU70 hostelsclub clause, you can also contact directly with the owner: www.cadalisera.it, a really nice guy; Italy

Florence: Touristhouse, hostel, just next to the central station, per night including breakfast, also EU75 is set by hostelclub, but apart from the location, the other General.

Should be able to find a more appropriate place

In addition, bring clothes, especially underwear, T-shirt and more.

Out the laundry but difficult. Put on a pair of air travel shoes Italy one wheel is inherent in the summer.

Ready to start your own journey to the Apennines.

Rome's article-romantic Temple of culture and art

For visitors, Rome is Italy's culture and customs in miniature.

Because, it has the desire and fantasy of all elements. "Roman holiday" and those Loran gives Sofia has not visited Rome (like us) too many expectations. In our second floor of the library, has been hanging two sites on some old sketch art, is as far back as the United States by larrissa aunt gave our wedding gifts. That year, she traveled the world in Rome are a favorite station. Painting is the famous Arc de Triomphe and the ancient market, in the light yellow painting, Rome is synonymous with history. Later, in Italy found a lot of similar sketch, there is a sense of history.

Rome is the focus of the whole trip, we focus most exuberant 4 days on here.

Although not art or literary youth, not Catholic, but in Rome, we have always felt the humanistic culture great charm. Already has too much on Rome's travels and comments for us, impresses the streets, churches, squares, coffee and ice cream shops and, of course, from the moment of Italy a handsome guy. As for art (especially during the Renaissance paintings and sculpture), there's not much research, we spend more time on for Rome the city feel and appreciate the natural ignores some details, perhaps this is it is a suitable means of travel. For those who forced their own in each great churches or museums for a few hours of travel, we only honor because Rome really had too many churches, historical buildings and museums, I'm afraid this down to spend a month's time.

Street

In China is not a block like Rome's old city and this feature of the city.

Here is a history of precipitation, and then join the modern elements. In the best position to reflect this feature of I'm afraid she's streets. With the "Roman holiday" as in, here's the street that kind of narrow and winding, more exact, more than 80% of the street should be referred to as "the alley". Lane is a stone pavement, reminiscent of the wagon. Both sides of the street is 100 years of architecture, inadvertently, they will be able to find a historical record. Rome's old city is not very big, will soon be able to identify several of the main attractions of the lane is connected. In the first few days, we are using the "wild". Shuttle to one of the alleys, experience a taste of China have disappeared. Roman streets cannot help but full of nostalgic mood, the more one beat of modern music. LP favourite is the street party and traveling or docked vehicle. Go to Rome, you will be aware that most of the cars here are "Roman holiday" the twin car, the most characteristic is the colourful Smart. Should be cooperating with Swatch Benz, has now been discontinued. Previously seen in the magazine, that was fashionable. The Romans discovered that, even in real life, there are so many Smart. Smart is designed for Rome, in the narrow alleys, just to be able to easily find parking area, but also to this ancient city to beat. For a trip is not very nervous visitors, find a very hot afternoon walking in Rome and inadvertently taste this city definitely is a very pleasant things.

Church

As a Catholic Centre, Roman churches everywhere.

For those of us non-believers, the church more art, particularly painting and carving art, so the more we will goNote the huge dome roof, the painting, the marble statue. To our visitors, there is no need to follow the Lonely Planet a church next to a church yet. In the go to the Vatican's S. Pietro Cathedral, from the perspective of appreciation, it is not necessary to go to other churches. Personal feeling, S. Pietro Church is a combination of art and religion in its peak. She is not only magnificent, and every detail is so delicate and full of art. If not believers, but from what you entered the Cathedral the moment will be as a human for religious worship. Here, the art of the most wonderful human being is sacred religious service and worship of the divine and the wonderful inspiration through art. To S. Pietro Church, must be in the morning, but first you should bypass the back of the Church, walking to the top. Then it is a full of hard work, but really can experience an "endless scenery in perilous" feeling. The top floor of the Church, overlooking the old city of Rome, clear to see the Pantheon, the motherland altar, as well as the more distant large bucket of veterinary field. Near to a large square in front of the Church seriously, and has been leading Angel Castle via della condiliazinone, and the Vatican State part of the opening to the other not. That feeling and in standing on the Palatino, a close look at the ancient city of Rome, overlooking the Vatican, chimed in.

Plaza

Rome's Piazza over-abundance, and Italy were defined for the square, a quite relaxed than ten square meters, has two more lane intersection in this, they can become: Piazza, depriving us several times is to find a map on the piazza, and finally found it in the feet.

But Rome did have a few great features of the square, are confusing.

P.zaa Navora-most literary color square, likes to sit in the square of the central fountain, and experience a summer, and I feel at ease at the square, and those in the artist's performances.

We are in an evening walk from Spain stage, Sun rolled in the sunshine on one side of the square, as if to those open-air cafe and leisure of people on a layer of gold, brilliant. If your Pocket is sufficient, you should find a square edge, drink one cup of seat Epresso, quietly to taste this kind of artistic atmosphere, no wonder people here called Arts Plaza.

P.zaa Venezia-Venice square fame is very large, in fact, no characteristics (in addition to the many bus station).

However, but just because an activity, it is enough to make us like here. Sitting at the Venice Piazza at the Northern frontage of the ice cream shop, sipping a Italy ice cream, looking at people and not far away from the altar of the homeland. The majestic altar is himself in Rome, one of the most favorite buildings, especially the magnificent in the evening. This majestic's momentum is not in Italy. Keep thinking that today's Italy people should have a shame for the plot of the ancients. In today's world, they really have no status.

P.zaa S. Pietro – just in front of the famous church.

Sit in on both sides of the cloister huge stelae, pro wind, forget all troubles in real life, their own fully into the blue sky, sunshine and human art treasures, it is a kind of spiritual purification, people will become very quiet, very imaginative, we used two to come here, sit down quietly, through one or two hours.

Fountain

Never any city is so big and so beautiful fountain.

Rome has a wide variety of imagination, or the spectacular fountain, or a fine, or lively or shock. Whether it is at noon, sunset, at the fountain coffee, your hands into the cool fountain pool, temporarily forget the sweltering summer Rome is an expression of words. However, the many fountains in the city, the most famous attractions or vow Fountain (Fontana Di Travi). We in Rome a short span of 4 days, 3 times to be here. Especially like the fountain of the gods symbolic background sculpture, springs from the funneled emission in sculpture, import the following marble cistern. Here the cistern is no railings, so visitors can sit in the marble cofferdam, slowly to experience a cool feeling. Here attract many visitors, but also because the promise of the legend. Crowds of tourists come here to sink cast coins, on behalf of the vow. Hear every night for someone to pick up the coins, also made a small fortune. On the right side of the pond, with a little water, and the Roman city of numerous water estuary, people are able to direct drinking water here. Probably because the pool was the promise, here are usually even drinking water also to overcrowding. Italy won the World Cup this year, many young people in Italy just jumped into the wishing pool, celebrate this desire of the whole country. It seems that the local people for this fountain is also very fond of. People's square and the square fountain Navonna are very characteristic, it is worth a look.

Coffee and ice cream shop

Italy-coffee and ice cream almost every visit to the beloved, is the general part of the lives of people in Italy.

In my view, is their pride. A simple fact, McDonald's has been all over Italy in every corner, we have not found a Starbucks or hagendasidian. Lift the Italy of coffee, the most famous is Epresso, small cup, thick, the entrance of the strong, after that only local talent can be used. Often you can see, the locals in common convenience store terminals, and point a cup epresso drama in the bar. But for most visitors, with a cup of coffee and milk aroma kabuqinuo, is part of Italy's cultural experience. A few days ago to see a thematic programme CNBC, interview the founder of the original Starbucks,He is also an experience in Italy to this special coffee culture, think back to the United States to establish a "a third place for people, besides home and work." In a sense, Starbucks did it, was also very successful. However, relative to the ancient Italy coffee culture, things seem to be United States persons less some precipitation.

For girls, Wo's ice cream shop, is enough to make people stop and hard line.

In fact, Italy's ice cream seems to have no fixed brand, General convenience stores and cafes of the buy. Several cities have come to find quality vary. In retrospect, seems in Milan Donohue square next to a taste better. While many tastes, we usually choose lemons, should be a hot summer is one of the most refreshing. Compared to the expensive Haagen-Dazs ice cream, from the moment of Italy, more cordial, and free. People may be more willing to take a three balls of ice cream in every corner of the city.

Italy's handsome guy

When it comes to Italy, really have to mention here of a handsome guy.

Not only LP thrill, even himself to a gradually into the middle-man identity also surprised over handsome. Inadvertently, they can see a characteristic bright handsome (bus driver, hotel waiter, uniformed military police, the corner coffee shop products at epresso pedestrian), it would make each girl. Also, here's a handsome guy different styles, both Thoroughbred and jieao unruly. Particularly impressive is that you see some white hair, but vigorous old age a handsome guy, one cannot help but think of the champions of Lippi coach. Speaking of champions, in addition to the coach, and mentioned their pants in the handsome guy star. At the international airport of Rome, far will see huge D & G, international team of underwear ads, Cannavaro, Zambrotta Gattuso, seal, only wearing a white tight underwear, sexy. Only Italy would have such a sexy, only in Italy is so sexy and come of this nature. No wonder so many girls are yearning for Italy. Ask where the most handsome guy, or want to recommend the beach on the outskirts of Rome. Stroll along the beaches of the Eastern Mediterranean, he really is quite a feeling of inferiority complex, there is a handsome Heaven (sounds strange, but not so many pretty women, unfortunately). For any one man, if you let your LP or GF separate came to Italy are very dangerous thing.

Some of the world, we are deeply in love with the side of the city.

Rome itself seems to be endless romance, walking in every corner of the city, are able to deeply feel that. Rome has a constantly attract the charm of your return.

Itinerary and route maps:

D1: Rome one wheel 1 route: hotel – colosseo (recommended certain early, 11 euro ticket is very expensive.

You can hide in a corner on the second floor of the quiet taste Roman Gladiators field, without those bloody and tragic, more of a history of)-palatino (be sure to look at the top, not far away from the motherland altar and Pantheon)-monumento a vittorio emanuele – Piazza Venezia-hotel Pantheon – (Rome summer midday sun scary, you need to rest about)-Piazza Quirinale-Fontana Del Tritone – Piazza Spagna – Piazza Novona – Piazza Venezia-Hotel. Now I definitely self-flagellation 1, overestimate their own strength, but a true understanding of the Roman city.

D2: the Vatican and the Eastern Mediterranean coast: the hotel – Castel S. Pietro-Sant Angelo-Ponte Sant Angelo – hotel – Ostia (near Rome near the beach.

For the beach and the sea is not afraid to flattered, but definitely look handsome guy good choice).

D3：Hotel - circo Massimo – S. Maria in Cosmedin – campidogillo – Piazza de Popolo – Mansoleo Augusto – Piazza Spagra – Hotel – Barberini – Fontana Trevi – Piazza Venezia – Hotel 。

On this day more leisure, in the city without too many purposes.

D4: Hotel check out – S. Pietro – Vaticanno (shopping, found here via a cola with many of the shops are very good.

Almost in a shop and bought AJ's leather jacket, too cool. But rationally thinking a thought, or abandoned. After all, it is old:) – termini train station – overnight IC – Milano. Fourth day already some tired, especially to catch the train at night, so not too much content.

Eat and drink:

What is not in Rome to enjoy the upscale restaurant, the only two meals are eaten pizza and head up.

Need a lot of money to have the courage to the upscale restaurant. Coffee and ice cream without speaking, be sure to taste. Their own special like the lemon sorbet, particularly tasty, seriously recommended to taste.

In Rome (perhaps Europe), everything is very expensive.

Supermarket minimal, under theGonglue find termini underground floor corner supermarket, very cheap. There are many delicious roast chicken!

Other:

In Rome the recommended buy metro's day pass, all the common traffic can be used, very practical.

They say that Rome and many of the thief, but luckily didn't have one. To our observations, security is good.

Milan:

Milan-insipid "fashion capital"

Not to the people here, will have for Milan unlimited reverie.

Not come over here, and then compare to other cities of Italy, you can only use the "bland" to describe here. Even Italy who also just put here as a profitable place to holiday, inevitably fled here. This meeting because here, there is no way to honestly for three days. For all of their own, Milan is the Duomo square and the Cathedral. While the LP lucky, taking the day went to beautiful Lake Como – one is called the European garden of the rich.

Duomo square and the Cathedral

If for visitors, there are then some attractions of Milan, then I'm afraid is located in the center of the Duomo square, as here, there are two most attractive eye thing: window shopping and Cathedral.

First, this Gothic architecture, is referred to as the "marble" of the Cathedral. Different from other churches, the marble white building is so beautiful and fresh, without religion to suppress or mysterious, but many had some luxury. In the assortment of commercial centers, especially striking. If the physical strength to bear on the top is well worth trying. The top is very hard for our activities, down to sit on the steps next to the square, leisurely enjoy Plaza Centre flocks of pigeons, but some may still moving like Napoleon. Inadvertently, there will be two dress step cycling office workers from the Flash briefly before, Italy.

Milan Duomo square is also a business centre.

In particular, Emanuele II next to the Galleria, magnificent arch under the luxury shops, not much of a discount and service attitude is very poor. We all talk about Milan is a city of fashion, there is no special feeling, or later in Florence shopping comparison. However, in the Galleria Centre has a McDonald 's, is well worth a go. To Italy, McDonald's has become some romantic taste of Italy. In the open air seating, a Big Mac, plus a epresso, point on a cigar, the opposite is the LV window, there is a very pleasant feeling.

For a like football, came to Milan to bring back some souvenirs with football related.

Behind the Cathedral, a football gift shop, sale of AC, inter and Juventus souvenirs. Has been inter fans (although this year's champions come really some shameful), so I bought some souvenirs, inter give yourself and friends.

If adequate, very recommended versus in the evening, once again came to the duomo square, in a corner and select a cafe outdoor seats, side lights of the Cathedral, one side is the gorgeous streets.

The night of the duomo Cathedral of light and atmosphere with the sides of the business district of harmony to one. Of course, here experience is a kind of atmosphere, as regards the food do not need to ask for more.

Tourists usually come to Milan another will go is to Santa Maria della Grazie left the monastery to see the famous da Vinci's "last supper".

As a result of the recent story about Christ is very popular (mostly because the password of the da Vinci Code), so there is no way intended to visit tickets, has looked at the door, go directly to the Castello Sforzesco and the laid-back Milan Park. Come to Italy these days, has a shuttle to the individual sites in the hot summer days, through the old Castle, walking in the garden – Milan Parco Sempione. There are endless green, as well as entertaining. Found a small meadow by the River, take off your shoes, get rid of travel of hard work, quietly in Sun bathing, smelling the scent of the grass. Not far away, a group of young people in various colour is playing the guitar, knocking at hand drum, sing songs. Italy's PM is easy and lazy.

Travel to Milan, if time permits, be sure to take a day trip to Europe's back garden-Como Lake.

Because they have a meeting, so a person put to LP in lakes and spent a day in.

What characteristics. Should be able to find a more cost-effective. Milan business hotel, it is said that the weekend can find very good discount. It is not necessary as in other cities like looking for a guesthouse or B & B.

Venice:

Subject: the dream of water

Very often, the people if a city accustomed to listening to too much praise, tend to have a too high expectations.

But when a real understanding of the city, a lot of ground. Before coming to Venice, its always worried about this feeling, after all, she is so famous that seems to come to Italy travel if there is no experience with elegant style, has not been to Italy. This concern has been with faintly from Milan to Venice by train.

With crowds of tourists of all kinds of colour, we dragged the box, the fastest out of the station.

The immediate period ahead of the new-coup was restored is so magical water city. Despite numerous media already familiar with her, but when we truly integrated into the city, still there is a kind of shock. Ancient architecture seems to float on the water, there is no broad Street, no car, no pedestrian, there is the legendary gondola, shuttle bus to the boat and the water taxi, there is a stone bridge of received a seat. Here are visitors to the city, everyone's face with a bear excitement and pleasure, as the beginning of August the Apennines and the endless blue sky and sea.

The center of the main island of Venice is sqare, so this time we booked B & B is in the square next to a narrow alley, walk 100 meters is a noisy square and the canals and water bus station, but with a little quiet.

Enthusiasm and handsome men who sent us the Inn a B & B's T-shirt, a detailed map, the most important thing is to tell our delicious local restaurants. To lay down their luggage, we will go straight to San Marco square. The square of the Dove is famous, but it seems the number of visitors and not less than flocks of pigeons (compared to some, is a fact). According to the strategy, we go straight to the Church Bell Tower, next to the top after the panoramic overview of Venice. Grand Canal next to the cross-Strait and the coastline is tall brick red rendered old building, the blue sea and sky, unusual beauty. After nightfall, sqare immediately become more lively, almost the entire square each side houses cafe open seats in occupies. In order to attract guests, there are as many free performances of Quartet after another, very interesting. Of course, for us, beautiful music is already sufficient, there is no need to spend more than a dozen euros to a cup of coffee. Visit Venice Island one of the best way is to buy the ticket on a water BUS (although the price is not cheap, but very worthwhile, arriving in Venice, we bought a 3-day ticket. To leave Venice before, because you can also use the LP was a day that the ticket reselling to other visitors, about our extra 20 euro), and then select the 1-wire BUS, riding on a round trip and get to enjoy the entire Canal side of the ancient and magical city. In particular, has just been in the evening, on both sides of the Cafe and the old building is on the bright lights and shadows in the water, very moving. Venice island in addition to guest, another will go, is the Ponte Di Rialto Bridge. This ancient stone arch bridge spans the Canal, on both sides are numerous cafe and restaurants, there are also very lively open-air markets. The water under the bridge is the famous place where the most concentrated gondola (this time we did not choose to ride the gondola, 45 min. 70 euro for us too extravagant, save money, we can have a good meal). Standing on the stone bridge on the photo will be in the best position to reflect the charm of Venice. According to the Inn's handsome guy, we had a lot of pneumatic finally found in Ponte Di Rialto's deep alley beside the BOTTE PUB, here is the local places frequented by young people. Point the seafood Pasta and to local, Sarah good bubbles Bianco, white wine-and the price is very fair. In addition to eat and drink these very good things, for art enthusiasts, must not be missed here of academic art museum, there is a work of the Venetian painting school. Unfortunately if Roman art history does not know much about it, just as we do see a hilarious. For girls, Venice is also a good place for shopping. Although no shopping mall, the narrow streets and lanes on both sides are full of all kinds of shops, from people in step of glass products shop, handmade souvenirs, to luxury boutiques, we had here in Bally, Ferragamo, buy some discount products. Of course, the most unique or those colorful glass products and ornaments, LP bought many in one breath.

Venice's main island is a paradise for tourists, wonderful, inevitably some noisy.

So, take a days, took to sea water BUS, a day trip to the outer islands, is definitely a trip of another kind of enjoyment. The beginning of August the Adriatic Sea is blue color, the sky was cloudless, Sun pours on the sea, like sparkling. There is no doubt that this is a good day at sea. The sea is full of yachts of all colors, such as the arrow General water flashed by, like the white foam. We of course only according to the ship, appreciate good copies of, or in the mood, such as brightness of the sky. First stop is the famous great glass Murano, the island-Island to manufacture glass crafts, unfortunately, as is famous for its tourist development, there are commercial flavor, like back in some spots in the country. We just finished a live performance, in a hurry to leave.

Sat from Murano to sea water on the BUS, it can be to the island of Burano Island-multicolored.

There was only a fishing village, but because of all the houses are the play of color coloredPlay, so this name. In the summer sky, along the ancient fishing village, side is yellow, blue, red, pink, green are ancient but vibrant House, and a small cafe. On the corner of a cafe, a group of local people, staffing a glass of wine, an accordion, sitting together, loud singing, happy and natural, defiance with visitors. So we have a seat, and accompanied by a resounding of Italy, to enjoy the authentic pizza. In the afternoon of Burano tide, to our left a good memory.

Lido Island, off the main island not far from Venice, local weekend holiday.

Here is a long beach, the casino, but for those of us that visitors from afar, but no special attractiveness.

For us, Venice is a completely different from all the cities we visited, unique water city, as well as the city of water with unique features that deserves our back here again.

Florence:

Subject: ancient art and luxury shopping paradise

Florence is our Italy trip last city.

Here is the Renaissance Art Center and the origin of many of the luxury, art and shopping with two seemingly mutually associated active here, as our theme.

Compared to Rome and Milan, Florence, is an ancient town.

Our Inn is next to the railway station, if however Arno, completely you can walk. Moreover, the best tours in Florence, is along the old streets, discover the history and art. Mentioned building, be sure to go to the center of the Cathedral of our Lady of the flowers. Unlike other cathedrals, the white, pink and green marble, according to the different geometric pattern decoration of the Cathedral of gorgeous, eye-catching and more. Hard to climb stairs, 464 section on the Cathedral's dome, the party can truly enjoy the beauty of the city.
