Travel To Italy

Travel to Italy can be a fun and exciting time for those looking for a romantic getaway, an educational experience, or simply a fun vacation. When looking at Italy for a romantic or honeymoon spot, people can look at all the fun hotels, rides on the gondolas, or the fine restaurants. Traveling to this country for an educational experience could include the many facets of ancient Rome architecture that there is to see. As far as Italy as a fun vacation, there are lots of fun shops that will be close to the hotels.

The ancient Roman architecture is one of the most popular reasons for people to travel there. The Coliseum is one of the best known pieces of architecture in the world. In ancient time, it is where people would go to for entertainment to see gladiators who would fight animals and people to the death. Legend has it that the people who attended the shows always said that the more bloody the show was, the better it was. The coliseum originated in AD 80 and has a canvas roof. Other exciting pieces of architecture for people to see when they travel to Italy are the pyramids, some of which hold the ashes of ancient kings in Rome.

A fun romantic tourist thing to do when traveling to Italy is to ride on the gondolas. These originated in the 11th century and were originally made in order to get rich people from here to there. Soon they became a tourist activity. The gondolas take tourists through a beautiful part of Italy, which offers a unique view of the city from the water. The one thing to make sure of when riding the gondolas, is not to ride them when the tide is too low. During this time, visitors often experience a putrid smell that rises from the canals.

For extreme tourists who also want to have an enjoyable experience when they travel to Italy, the Rome marathon is considered the most beautiful marathon to run in the world. Many people make the race part of their vacation experience. It is an opportunity to expand horizons and push oneself. But whatever someone decides to do in Italy, simply know that there is always more waiting around the next corner in each part of the country. Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, causing many to say, truly, "the whole earth is full of his glory!" (Isaiah 6:3).
