Best Resorts In Rome:Places to Go on Vacation - Rome Is for Romance

By John Roney


Looking for new places to go on vacation? How about a trip to Rome, Italy? Whether you are visiting Rome with someone special for a romantic getaway or just simply going for a unique family vacation, here are a few tips to help you along the way once you arrive. Rome is a great place to check out some spectacular museums, but don't forget to always check the times locally for museum hours.

The hours vary and may change with the seasons. Also remember that sightseeing in churches during certain religious rites is often discouraged. While out and about in the city, keep an eye out for purse snatchers. This is different from a pickpocket. Purse snatchers often work in teams on a single motor scooter. One drives a scooter while another member of the team grabs your purse.

So keep a close eye out. In addition to purse snatchers, beware of pickpockets, especially on buses. Make sure you have a good map showing all street names and routes. If you get lost, signs are posted on many corners pointing you in the right direction for the nearest major landmark. However, don't count on finding a sign on every street corner if you're exploring in the residential neighborhoods.

Further to the north, on the border, is the area of Valle d'Aosta. In this area both Italian and French are spoken, and the food also has a lot of French influence. In this area you can find some of the highest mountains in Europe: Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Mont Blanc and Gran Paradiso. The beautiful view of pine trees and castles is seen from wooden ski chalets. One of the most glamorous resorts in Italy is found here - CourMayeur, at the foot of the Mont Blanc. This resort offers all that a skier can dream of, even summer skiing. Also in that area is Breuil - Cervinia

Monte Argentario, Tuscany, This is a large hilly area in beautiful Tuscany, in the Grossetto Province. The area is home to a nature reserve and some fabulous beaches. At one time, this area was an island, but over the ages it was joined to the mainland by three sand bars, which are now shrouded in woodland and kept apart by lagoons. Two areas you should check out in this region include Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole. These are harbour locations and good base to discover the entire region or just a peaceful and relaxing break. Enjoy the Best Resorts In Rome.
