Italy is an extremely attractive destination worldwide.

Rome, Venice and Florence are the most visited cities of Italy.

Rome is a city full of museums, historic squares, rich food culture, and Roman landmarks. Travellers can wander through the ruins of ancient Rome for weeks, including aqueducts, churches, bathhouses, forums, and much more.

In Rome, there are rich opera traditions. Opera originated in Italy in the 17th century, so it is no coincidence that it holds such an important place in the country's culture today. Italian opera gave rise to such great composers as Rossini and Verdi. The Teatro dell'Opera is one of the most important venues in Rome's rich cultural life. It occupies a prominent place on the Italian national opera scene alongside the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Teatro La Scala in Milan and the Teatro La Fenice in Venice.

Italian cooking is much more than pizza and pasta and Roman cuisine drives this point home. The district of Testaccio, Rome's commercial and slaughterhouse district, is where some of Rome's most original and traditional dishes can still be found. The neighbourhood was often called the “belly” or “slaughterhouse” of Rome and was home to the butchers or vaccinarii. The most common or ancient Roman cuisine included the “fifth quarter”.
Popular dishes included pork trotters, brains, and genitalia of other animals, which were often thoroughly cooked and heavily seasoned with various condiments, spices, and herbs. The old-fashioned dish coda alla vaccinara: oxtail cooked the butchers' way, is still one of the most popular dishes in the city and is on the menu of most restaurants in Rome. Lamb is also very popular in Roman cuisine, often roasted with spices and herbs.

Florence is the centre of the Tuscany region. It is internationally recognized for its high concentration of Renaissance art and architecture, where tourists can observe and admire masterpieces by Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Brunelisky, Dante Alighieri, and Tagua. Since the city served as a rich and important centre of medieval trade and commerce, it spawned the movement of the Italian Renaissance.

Florence is famous for its fine steaks. Bistecca all Fiorentina is similar to a porterhouse or T-bone steak and consists of a T-bone traditionally obtained from Chianina or Maremmana cattle. A favourite of Tuscan cuisine, steak is grilled over wood or charcoal, and seasoned with salt, sometimes black pepper, and olive oil, which is applied immediately after the meat is removed from the fire. Steaks are meant to accompany strong local red wines such as Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino, which are made from Sangiovese grapes with sour cherry fruit. 

Venice is the favourite destination for tourists travelling to Italy. Venice is unlike any other city in Italy or Europe. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind city in the world. Almost the entire historical part of the city is one big attraction. 

Venice is the birthplace of Italy's version of tapas: Cicchetti are small appetizers designed to accompany a small glass of wine, known locally as “Ombra”.

Culinary culture and heritage go hand in hand not only in the above cities, but in all of Italy. This country boasts one of the most beloved cuisines in the world. It is the birthplace of pizza, pasta, mozzarella, limoncello, gelato and endless other delicacies. And while the traditional dishes of Italy can now be found all over the world, there's no better way to enjoy them than by heading straight to the source.
