Around & About Como & Italy
Mention Como and most people think of Lake Como.
Italy is a fashion conscious nation, in love with food, fast sports cars and football. That aside, it is a beautiful country that has a lot to offer the tourist. Central Italy is home to the Colosseum and other remnants of the one time great Roman Empire.

Rent a discounted MPV, 7 or 9 person minibus.

Italy can be split into three main regions the north, central and southern. The main towns of the northern region are
Milan, Turin, Bologna, Verona and Venice, which are all interspersed with rolling countryside and lakes coupled with the stunning vistas of the Dolomites and the Italian Alps.
Tuscany
This is always a good base to go back into, what with the Renaissance era with the nearby towns of Siena,
Pisa and Lucca offer more insights into Italy's rich historical past.
When you have absorbed enough of Roman History, drive southwards into Naples or the romantic Amalfi Coastline of Apulia.
Italian Culture
Italians love their Saints and in 1087 the managed to sign up a super saint when St Nicholas of Myra became San Nicola di Bari. Italians love religion and have invested heavily into building stunning cathedrals and churches to house their patrons and artefacts. A wise investment, as these buildings form the backbone of present day Italian tourism.
Italy is synonymous with fast sports cars and any trip should include a trip to Modena near Bologna, home to Maserati with its history, currently owned by Fiat Alfa Romeo. If landing into Pescara, please see our new guides for
Pescara Airport.
Italy in Winter
We can recommend skiing in Cervina under the Matterhorn. The pistes are wide and easy, with a glacier up the top, and one of the longest ski runs in Europe. A day trip over the top to Zermatt in
Switzerland, is a must. The restaurants there are sublime. However, it would be wrong of us not to mention Courmayeur in the Dolomites.
Nestling next door to Chamonix in France, the correct ski pass will get you over the border and the chance to get up the cable car to look across at Mont Blanc and beyond. Stunning views, so go skiing in the Italian Alps.
Sicily
If holidaying in the north of Sicily, then Palermo and Trapani Airports are the popular places to land, and drive away in a lower cost holiday auto. If on the west, or south coast, then Catania Airport is a nearer option
Italian Tourism
From the Alps in the north, to Sicily off the toe of the mainland Italy, always wise to look at what being said by the
Italy Tourist Board.
