So now that you've decided to plan a trip to Italy, the main question may be: Where do
you begin? Do you take in the scenic beauty of the Alps and embark on a romantic gon-
dola ride along the famous canals of Venice after spending a whirlwind day in the busting,
modern city of Milan all while taking in all that Northern Italy has to offer? Do you opt
for venturing through the historic streets of Rome and seeing the great architectural feats
of the Ancient Romans or perhaps venturing into the quieter, more laid back Umbria Re-
gion where the slow pace doesn't take away from the equally historic sites and feel of an
old world Italy, all of this while traveling through Italy's Central Region. Or perhaps you'd
like to indulge in the pristine beauty of the Amalfi Coast, take in the art, culture, and pizza
in majestic Naples, and see the amazing history of Pompeii while opting for Italy's South-
ern Region. And just when you think you've got way too many Italy travel destinations to
choose from, don't forget about the fabulous islands of Italy. Whether you want to bask
in the glamour of Capri, take in the old world culture and cuisine of Sicily while getting
a view of Mt. Etna, or visit the eclectic, yet historic Sardinia, there's definitely plenty of
excellent choices for those wanting an Italian island experience.
In this comprehensive guide, you'll be introduced to the various regions of Italy, popular
