Anyo­ne who has ever tra­ve­led to the famous vaca­ti­on desti­na­ti­on of Ita­ly knows how varied a vaca­ti­on in Bel­la Ita­lia is. You can eit­her spend your best days of the year rela­xing on the Adria­tic or on one of Ita­ly’s uni­que lakes, or you can tra­vel to the metro­po­li­ses of Milan and Flo­rence and dis­co­ver Ita­ly’s world-famous fashion. The uni­que moun­tain land­scape of South Tyrol should not be missed on such a trip. The Dolo­mi­tes are a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site. You’­re pro­ba­b­ly asking yours­elf: “Can a coun­try be Alpi­ne and Medi­ter­ra­ne­an at the same time?” This is pos­si­ble in Ita­ly becau­se the coun­try com­bi­nes the alpi­ne moun­tain world with the Medi­ter­ra­ne­an flair of the Mediterranean. 
South Tyrol is also known as “THE moun­tain and hiking mec­ca” par excel­lence. Count­less hiking tours to rustic moun­tain huts and chal­len­ging via fer­ra­tas at breath­ta­king heights await you the­re. Dif­fe­rent hiking trails can be cho­sen depen­ding on the level of dif­fi­cul­ty. The uni­que land­mark of this moun­tain ran­ge are the “Three Peaks”, which are up to 3000 m high. A tour through the South Tyro­lean Dolo­mi­tes is gre­at cine­ma for all motor­cy­cle enthu­si­asts. After an exci­ting hiking excur­si­on, a dip in the Upper Adria­tic to the south is a must, and a swim in the popu­lar resorts of Ligna­no, Gra­do, Bibio­ne, Caval­li­no or Jeso­lo is per­fect for this. For child­ren and cam­ping fans ali­ke, the count­less camp­si­tes offer a uni­que vaca­ti­on experience. 

From the­re, you can also take a short bus or boat trip to explo­re the world-famous lagoon city of Venice. Venice is also known as the “city of a thousand bridges”, as it was once built on count­less woo­den piles. One of the most famous water­ways is the Grand Canal, with its world-famous gon­do­las. The famous Rial­to Bridge, bet­ter known as the Bridge of Sighs, also cros­ses this canal. The other sights are within easy wal­king distance. An abso­lu­te must for all tou­rists is the popu­lar St. Mar­k’s Squa­re, which is also home to the sym­bol of the city, the so-cal­led St. Mar­k’s Tower.

What you abso­lut­e­ly must have seen: A well-known say­ing goes: “All roads lead to Rome!”, becau­se the eter­nal city attracts count­less tou­rists every year! One of the abso­lu­te high­lights of Rome is the Tre­vi Foun­tain, which once sup­pli­ed the anci­ent city of Rome with water. The impo­sing Pan­the­on temp­le and the Colos­se­um, the lar­gest anci­ent amphi­thea­ter in the world, pro­vi­de an insight into anci­ent times. 

Our insi­der tip:

The tran­quil town of Lazi­se is loca­ted on the south-eas­tern shore of Lake Gar­da and is known for its car-free medieval old town. This part of the city is in turn sur­roun­ded by a well-pre­ser­ved city wall. Enjoy the spe­cial­ties of Ita­ly in one of the cosy restau­rants or cafés in the side streets and mar­vel at the uni­que lake pro­me­na­de of Lake Garda.
