Italy for vacation

One of the best places to visit is Italy. It is a great honeymoon location as well as a family vacation. Italy is known for its wine especially in the Tuscany region which is Florence and the surrounding areas. Delta has 1-2 nonstop flights a day to Rome depending on the season. In the high season which normally runs between May and September, Delta will offer 2 flights a day to Rome as well as nonstop flights to Milan and Venice. The trains are the best means of transportation within Italy and the most economical way. Italy has great sightseeing options like the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps in Rome to name a few and Florence has the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery which houses Michelangelo's David. You cannot forget the Last Supper in Milan as well as the Gondola ride in Venice. As far as shopping, Milan is known for the great shopping as well as Florence. Italy has great Italian food and the wine is one of the best. The honeymooners would really enjoy the Amalfi Coast because most of the hotels are overlooking the coast and it just makes it very romantic and they can even take a 30 minute ferry from Naples or Sorrento to Capri which is a small island off the coast of Naples. The hotels are pretty pricey depending on where you stay and what kind of hotel. They can range anywhere between $200.00-$1000.00 per night with the exchange rate. Italy is on the Euro which makes things more expensive for us but in the last couple of weeks, the dollar has gotten stronger. The best time of the year to go to Italy is May or September because the weather is good and you do not have all of the vacationers like you do in the summer months. The least expensive time to travel would be February or March but you can expect chilly and rainy weather.
