| Rome never goes out of style |
| 2009-09-06 00:36:00 |
ROME — On the centuries-old cobblestone streets, in the busy cafes, in church pews, Rome is much more inviting than people imagine. And any love you show to the Eternal City will be paid back tenfold. Romans say you’d need more than a lifetime to fully discover their city, and that’s its charm — with so much to see it’s impossible to get bored. As a comparison, there’s definitely more to see here than in Paris. Everywhere you look there’s a swirling mix of styles from every conceivable era. At any given time you can find a 2,000-year-old Roman temple supported by huge white columns, and around every corner there will likely be a church where you can admire frescoes from the Middle Ages that are not listed in guide books; then it’s off to a trattoria to savour the best spaghetti carbonara you’ve ever tasted.

| Travel Postcard: 48 hours in Trieste, Italy |
| 2009-06-20 09:37:00 |
TRIESTE, Italy (Reuters Life!) - Got 48 hours to explore the central European melting pot which is the Italian port city of Trieste? A Reuters correspondent with local knowledge helps visitors to get the most out of a visit to the city that only became definitively part of Italy in 1954 and where James Joyce wrote part of "Ulysses." FRIDAY 8 p.m. - Drive down past cliffs and trees into the city of 200,000 people, a northeastern outpost of Italy with the Slovenian and Croatian borders not far away. Drive past the rail station and just beyond the city center to L'Albero Nascosto. The small homely hotel, not from the seafront, boasts large rooms and breakfasts of cheese, bread and jams.

| Italian Riviera Great for Spring Travel |
| 2009-04-18 13:36:00 |
Le Cinque Terre, the five lands, are a group of five picturesque villages along the coast surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and woods. The villages can be reached on the train that runs between La Spezia and Genoa or by ferry from La Spezia, Portovenere, Levanto (the next village up the coast toward Genoa where there's also a train station), or other Italian Riviera villages.There are popular hiking trails between the villages as well as in the scenic hills above them. You'll have to pay for entrance to the trails. Europe for Visitors has a good Cinque Terre hiking guide and map with pictures so you'll know what to expect when you go.The Cinque Terre region is very popular with Americans and is very crowded in summer. Spending the night in one of the villages is a good way to experience the charm without the huge crowds since they aren't packed with hotels. My friends recommend staying in Manarola at A Casa Rooms and Apartments. Vernazza would be another good choice.

| Religious tourists keep Italy on must-see lists |
| 2009-04-11 15:15:00 |
ROME — While the world economic crisis forces many consumers to change spending habits, at least one of Italy's economic sectors has so far been barely touched: religious tourism.Italy, which surrounds Vatican City, the spiritual home to the world's 1.1 billion Catholics, boasts more than 30,000 churches and sanctuaries, according to the country's Ministry of Culture. That's more churches per capita than any other major country. And according to United Nations' World Tourism Organization statistics, seven of the world's 10 most visited Christian sanctuaries are in Italy.Official figures are hard to come by because visitors to Italy are not required to indicate whether or not their vacation is religious in nature.Italy's Ministry of Tourism reports that overall tourism over the first two months of the year is down by a fifth over the same period last year.

| 2009-04-03 11:54:00 |
One of the greatest joys of being a foreign expat is ditching the guide book and experiencing life as the locals do.No longer a tourist, you are a part of the community, and privy to information and places that tourists who are only passing through rarely get to enjoy.Turin, Italy, is the cosmopolitan capital of Piedmont where foodies, fashionistas, filmophiles and fun-seekers enjoy a city in the midst of a cultural Renaissance.The revitalization process began with the 2006 Winter Olympics but hasn’t ceased since, and today signs of progress emerge from each portico-covered street and grand riverfront piazza.
