Arguably the world's most celebrated tourist destination, Italy really does have it all. It boasts one of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in Europe, the world's greatest hoard of art treasures (on display in fittingly spectacular cities and buildings), a climate that is on the whole benign and mild and most important of all for many, a delicious and authentic national cuisine, made all the more alluring by the depth and breadth of its regional variation. After visiting, it's possible that you may not ever want to travel anywhere else.
