In February of every year, Carnivale (Carnival) is celebrated. In Venice, the Carnivale exhibits many extraordinary costumes and there is an electric tourist atmosphere.

With varied landscapes, superb food and drink (moderately priced), a relaxed hospitable atmosphere, and a plethora of local culture. Italy travel holds exciting promise. Italy is also one of Europe's finest skiing destinations for downhill and cross country skiing. In the summer, hiking and mountain biking on those same ski slopes are offered.

Those headed to this country will want to be aware of a few precautions. There is heavy traffic and pollution in the larger cities. Rome, Naples, and Palermo have a reputation for having many active pickpocket thieves. The weather is extremely hot in the South, and there are large numbers of tourists in the summer. The Italian mainland has a lack of big beautiful beaches, which makes the smaller island beaches very crowded. Putting together a plan of action before planning an Italy travel vacation will ensure tourists get the most enjoyment for the time and money.
