    My parents always go there and they always say I would like it.

    I'd like to explore the history stuff, drink and eat good food and catch a seria A game!

    Err no. Travel in Italy is cheap and comfortable.
    I am travelling with Virgin to Liverpool today and it’s £176 one way. I wanted to go tomorrow but it was £411 (I **** you not) one way !

    So staying in hotel and demolishing the expense account.

    Been to Rome, Venice, Naples, Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast - all beautiful places.

    Also went on an Club 18-30 holiday to Cattolica which is an absolute ****hole. Didn’t go for the scenery though :)

    Best pizzas is from Naples, they are very good and much better than New York

    Never been, which is ridiculous really.

    Was planning to go to the Dolomites next February but the flights are too expensive at that time so, well, we're not.

    Not sure when i'll get to go, perhaps go there Feb 2021 instead or next summer in the van would be good.

    Heard it's nice. From you lot.

    Every time the Mrs needs a Schengen visa we apply through Italian Consulate so we have to go there first for a long weekend. Love the lifestyle, food and the people.

    Never been down South so need to do that next.

    Work related so they pay.

    cheap return flights are a good thing, hence why me and the Mrs go away most months as we have mini city breaks as well as our longer holidays - love the price hate the airlines

    Great regional food (not just pizza and pasta); the agri-tourism is particularly good. Great wine (world's biggest exporter). History. Fine art. Lovely climate. Excellent skiing. Great beaches and lakes.

    Went there when I was about 8/9 with my mum. Definitely went to Sorrento and Capri and have a vivid memory of almost dying of heat exhaustion walking round a bunch of rocks, Pompeii maybe if that is anywhere near those places.

    I remember the food being decent and they had Metal Slug 2 in my hotel so I spent basically the entire time playing that
