Soccer (Futbol) Match

by nancy_1447

Soccer match in Italy, wow! Games are usually on Sunday at night. Tickets are sold at Tabacco shops or other authorized outlets. Ask someone who speaks english where to buy them. If you are parking a car know your road signs or get a huge ticket for parking in a zone that is off limits or one where you have to buy a parking pass to put on the windsheild. Use public transportation, parking was a hassle. People were civilized besides the cheap seats in the endzone. bundle up, its cold. make sure you are not wearing the opposing teams colors by accident.

Skiing heaven

by iandsmith

"If you were in France right now there'd be 20 minute queues." Thus spoke my new-found friend with a heavy north England accent.The strange thing was he was a native from just 20 kms away from where we were skiing, deep in the Dolomites!Where we were, Lagazuoi, was the front line during the First World War and would be a worthy stop if you were just a history buff but today we were there to ski and, in the whole area, there were probably around fifty skiers. Every time I got on a chair or T-bar I was alone. The only exception was the cable car from Passo Falzarego where you had to wait 2-10 minutes because there weren't enough passengers. This is where I met the English family.I had a great time skiing here (and falling down occasionally) and, like elsewhere in the Dolomites, am amazed that the general tourist populace seem to avoid the area. Perhaps because there are limited public...

Roma & Lazio

by 80-bettyboo

Another awesome game....But this time I was not as lucky as Milano , I was alone but got my ticket when the game had just started cheaper then it was sold .It was the craziest game I have ever been to , I was in the middle of Roma fans , and when Roma soccered a goal, I found myself on the ground lying and somebody busted on lip which was bleeding..Some Crazy Italians, helped me and for excuse they gave me a flag of Roma as a present..I was praying For Roma not to soccer another goal..no just kidding...I loved it alot..

Go watch soccer!

by aliante1981

Whatever the results are for teams on the international stage (they have not been excellent of late), soccer still remains the most popular sport in the country. And the soccer matches are a great show!The country's strongest teams are: Juventus, Roma, Milan, Inter, Lazio. Last year's surprise was Chievo.

Skiing in DOLOMITES

The weather is just unbelievable here. For me it was 100 % of sunny days. I went there with my best friend, so... here we are having fun in the best skiing region I've ever been to.To see more about skiing in Dolomites check out my Bolzano page. Don't forget your skis.
