By walking in Vatican City

by hopang

Walking is an ideal way to exercise your legs, body and mind especially on your vacation in a foreign country! Vatican City has a total area of just around 110 acres which is the smallest State in the world in terms of size and population. Thus all corners of the Vatican City are within walking distance. Of course you may choose to stop and relax while walking wherever and whenever you like along the way in the city streets, to chill out in the bars or restaurants, to hunt for souvenirs at the many souvenir shops along the streets, to do some window shopping at the elegant shopping malls and boutiques or simply to visit the various interesting tourist attractions in the city!

By Horse & Carriage in Vatican City

by hopang

Horse-drawn carriage is a popular means of transportation along with the mini trains for local and foreign tourists in the streets of the city of Vatican! Even though Vatican City has a total area of only approximately 110 acres and is the smallest State in the world, you may still relax and take the slow moving horse-drawn carriage to view the colourful streets, the lovely and wonderful architectural buildings and the charm and elegance of the castles and palaces in the city. These horse-drawn carriages are stationed on the eastern end of St Peters Square opposite St. Peter's Basilica. You may even take the horse-drawn carriage from Vatican City to tour parts of the city of Rome if you think there is not much more to see in the Vatican City!

Tips on driving in Italian cities ;-)

by mccalpin

In Italy, driving on the highways is actually well-behaved. Italians tend to choose the speed they want to go, then pick the appropriate lane. Thus, all passing involves you moving to the left to get into a faster lane - there's none of this swerving around to the right into the slow lane to get ahead.On the other hand, driving in the cities is as chaotic as it is orderly on the highways ;-) Some rules I learned from living and driving in Rome:1. There is no such thing as a lane; there are merely two flows of traffic. Your car can exist anywhere in your flow of traffic, and a little bit across the center line into the other flow. Yes, there are lanes marked, but pay them no attention. You will especially see this at stop lights, where three lanes in one direction is occupied by 5 small Italian cars.2. The horn is used much more for communication than for insults. For example, a number of...

Cheap flights in Winters

by gauravm03

I would like to share about the cheap flights I got for this trip. 6 flight tickets for 120 euros. Unbelievable deals on Ryan air if you travel in off season. We travelled just after new years on 6th January I think from Oslo to Pisa. Then from Rome to Venice we flew again as the tickets were just 10 euros a piece, then back from Pisa to OsloOfcourse this is back in 2007, since the the taxes,fuel surcharges have increased. But the bottomline is if you are on budget winters are the best time to fly on ryan air

Parking facilities: Milan, Venice, Florence & Rome

by Ina08

While it is true that parking call be challenging, I wouldn't worry too much. With a car you are flexible and can park anywhere close to public transport. In Milan for instance there is a huge parking facility on top of the final stop of the metro in San Donato, just off the highway, which takes you to Piazza del Duomo (Milan Cathedral). On Sunday you park all day for 1,50 Euro/day.On the "Tangenziale Est" in Direction of Linate, exit at "San Donato" (you are on the right track, if you pass the BMW Building on your right) and follow the directions to Parking+Metro).Under the parking site you find the metro station San Donato.Here are links to information about parking possibilities and advance bookings for parking spots (not everywhere).The cost range from 1 Euro to 2 Euro per hour with some offering a day pass for 14 to 18 Euro. If you need more help, please do not hesitate to contact...

Smart train prices from Italy to abroad

by rogdias

Take a look at Trenitalia and their international promotions. The _Smart_ fare is obtainable if you buy 14 days before the journey. It`s a real bargain. I once went from Venice to Prague for 49 euros, sleeping on a couchette. Very nice and confortable, they serve even a simple breakfast.

Four wheeled rickshaw

by hopang

Renting a four wheeled rickshaw (quadricycle) at Via San Giuseppe, just several meters across the road from the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a lot of fun with total relaxation. You can cruise along the cobberstoned streets of Pisa in style, at the same time visiting other parts of the city in Pisa! The rental of a four wheeled rickshaw costs approximately ten euros for four passengers for a duration of approximately half an hour - a wise choice to explore other parts of Pisa!

Local buses at Tuscany

by hopang

If you are staying at Chianciano Terme and wish to travel to Siena or Florence by bus, you may take a local Tuscany bus from the New Town Square. It costs just five euros per adult to travel to Siena from Chianciano Terme, a distance of approximately 50 kilometers. Based on last year's bus time table (please note that time table changes from time to time and you may obtain a copy of bus time table from the Tourist Information Office), the earliest bus to Siena departs Chianciano Terme at 6.10 a.m. and arrives at Siena at 7.40 a.m. The last bus departs Siena for Chianciano Terme at 5.45 p.m. and arrives at Chianciano Terme at 8.00 p.m. sYou may purchase your bus tickets at the Tourist Information Office near the Town Square. For travelling locally, i.e. within Chianciano Terme and Montepulciano area, it costs just two euros per adult and the bus tickets can be purchased from any...

International Airport, Verona

by hopang

Verona International Airport is also known as Valerio Catullo Villafranca International Airport. It is located approximately 12 kilometres from the city of Verona. The airport is also located in the middle of provinces of Brescia and Mantua and other smaller provinces. Approximately three million passengers pass through the airport annually, thus making it one of the major airports in Italy. It is mostly used for charter flights from European destinations. The departure terminal building is not very large. Nevertheless cafes, restaurants and duty-free shops are located in the building. The airport was formerly used by the air force during the Second World War and converted into civil airport after the war.

The Subway Easy & Indespensible

by RoscoeGregg

In both Rome and Milan the subway is cheap easy to use. In my humble opinion they are the most important thing to use during your visit. They are simple and make visiting these busy towns easy and fun. When you learn how to use them the whole city is your oyster. So head down those stairs and have some fun.
