The list of glorious sites everyone longs to see in Italy is endless, but how does one get to all these amazing places? A website called Italy Heaven gave some insightful information on traveling around the extraordinary country.
Driving allows one to explore the rural, countryside areas and take detours if one wants to have a picnic along the way on a hillside or go into a castle. However, if the hectic driving scenes from the movies "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" or "The Italian Job" did not make it clear enough, driving in Italy is not for the faint-hearted. Yes, those are Hollywood dramatized movies, but there is no arguing, driving in Italy can be challenging.
Trains, on the other hand, are cheap and efficient for traveling through Italy. There are many options available, such as slower trains being cheaper and return tickets being the same price as two singles. This comes down to personal preferences and requires checking on specific train details early.
Then there are local transport systems for most Italian cities that include buses, metros, trains, trams, funiculars (moutain railways with counterbalanced cable cars on parallel sets of rails) and lifts. For these, one usually can buy tickets in advance and have them validated when boarding the vehicle.
Of course the best way to view the unique and beautiful country of Italy is to approach by sea. Seeing it from a ferry, for examply, is said to be breathtaking.
In my opinion, seeing Italy in whatever way possible sounds exciting!
