With so many luxury travel packages available, it can get difficult for you to choose one. But no matter what kind of destination you have in mind, Italy tour packages can provide them. From beaches to mountains to art and culture – Italy is simply bursting at the seams with things you can admire. Here are some must see things when you’re in Italy. Colosseum This monument has become the very symbol of Rome. The structure began construction sometime in the 72 AD under the Emperor Vespasian and finished sometime in the year 80 AD. This is why it is also called the ‘Amphitheatrum Vespasian’. The open air amphitheatre is a remnant of the longest lasting empire – the Roman Empire. Entertainment would be staged here for the audiences and the Emperor, including plays and gladiator fights. Vatican City History, artwork and religion meet seamlessly in this splendid city-state. Walled in, inside the city of Rome, Vatican City is the metaphorical centre of the Catholic Christianity. The Apostolic Palace is a grand structure which is home to the Pope. So be sure that whichever Italy tour packages you’re looking at include a visit to the smallest independent state in the world. Grand Canal The 3800 meter long Grand Canal is quite the experience when you ride on a gondola with a loved one. There are water taxis and water buses to ferry you from one place to another. Relish the sight of the buildings on the bank of the canal – most of which tend to be made between the 13th and 18th century. If you’re here in September, then do attend the boat competition ‘Regatta Storica’. This is a must have for luxury travel packages to Italy. Leaning Tower of Pisa The Leaning Tower of Pisa, started in 1173, happens to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was meant to be a campanile or a bell tower. Despite being planned as a vertical building, it started leaning slightly because of the foundation on one side of the building being weak. But some repairs have been done so that the building doesn’t keep tilting anymore. Italy has far too many attractions to write down – let alone be visited. But luxury travel packages do make the attempt to cover as many sites as possible. When you’re looking at Italy tour packages, make sure that these are included; to miss out on even one of them is to leave behind a precious memory of once in a lifetime experience. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
