Find cheap flights to Italy with Flugladen.at

Italy probably has the most distinctive coastline in the whole of Europe. It looks just like a boot about to give the island of Sicily a good old kick up the wotsit. There is it poised and ready, waiting for its moment. And Italy has had so many great moments.

Italy is a country full of amazing landscapes, glittering lakes, spectacular architecture and history around every corner. Italy has spawned some of the world’s most glamorous film stars like Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, plus its national dishes of pizza and pasta are served up worldwide in a variety of guises.

Lying at the core of the Roman Empire, Italy has endured many ups and downs over the centuries from warring tribes to the birth of the Roman dynasty which heralded a new age in road building, architecture, sanitation and many other things that we take for granted today.

Amazing culture of Italy

Many of the fabulous buildings of Italy still stand, some of them in the great capital of Rome, the stunning city of Florence and the majestic Milan with a Gothic Duomo that is the largest of its kind in the world.

Milan in the Lombardy region of Italy is probably better known for its shopping and designer brands as it was where Armani, Prada and Gucci first made their names. It is also the centre of the economy of Italy.

Yet dig deeper and you will find treasures such as one of Italy’s greatest Renaissance artists, Leonardo da Vinci and his painting of the Last Supper, and La Scala opera house, whose plainness on the outside belies its luxurious interior.

The watery wonder of Venice in northern Italy is unique in atmosphere and landscape. There might be Little Italy versions all over the rest of Europe but nothing compares to the real thing. This is Italy at its most serene.

Further north in Italy, almost on the border with Austria, are the Dolomites which form part of the Alps. Ski-ing is the main activity here in this part of Italy with stunning frozen waterfalls and traditional villages where locals make toys and wood carvings all adding to the magic.

The islands of Italy

The two main islands of Italy - Sicily and Sardinia - offer their own magic. The smouldering volcano that is Stromboli is just off the coast of Sicily and is the only volcano that is permanently active. If you are considering climbing the 902m to the summit, you must hire a guide.

You get a more tropical clime in Sardinia as it is closer to Africa than Italy. The best time to visit this island of Italy is in the spring when wildflowers cover the landscape in vibrant colours and the sharp pecorino cheese of Italy is available.

Italy is one of those places that you will want to return to again and again because it offers so much to the visitor. Consider flying Flugladen.at every time you go to Italy as the flights are cheap and the service to great. Italy awaits you so grab this opportunity.
