Motoring holidays in Italy, Driving Tips and Tourist Information for Italy

Everything for your holiday in Italy all on one site.

Italy is considered to be the cradle of European civilisation, and is a treat for lovers of history and art. Every small town has more than its share of historic wonders, yet the vitality and friendliness of the Italians mean that Italy is far from being a museum. The great cities of Rome, Florence, Naples and Bologna are treasure houses of the very best in classical and renaissance art, as well as being bustling modern cities, although to see Italian modernity at its best you should visit the cities of Milan and Turin.

Surrounded on three sides by sea Italy is a fabulous place for a beach holiday, while in the North the flat plain of the River Po soon gives way to the Alps and the Dolomites, both offering excellent winter sports at reasonable prices. The Apennine mountains form the central spine of Italy and are great for walking and climbing.
