Montecatini Terme is close to Florence, Siena, Chianti, Lucca and Pisa -- an ideal base to discover Tuscany at your leisure. Around Italy The Northern part of Italy is generally more prosperous, and most Italians associate themselves with their particular region. Some of those around Lombardia even want a federal republic of Padania, independent from Rome and the rest of Italy. Welcome to Italy : As stylish as the passagio on a Sunday. Stroll through the site by itinerary, region, or province. (In English, Italian, German, and Japanese). Summer on the beach is very popular in Italy, but most travellers visit the country for the culture. Italy holds one of the major positions in world culture. Their nationals have presented us with masterpieces in architecture, painting, sculpture, literature, and opera. Siena -- The Palio : Continuing in ancient tradition, the contradas compete on horses around the town square of Siena, Italy, every July 2nd and August 16th. Touring Bologna : What to see and do around Bologna. A deep site with plenty of information if you are planning a stay in Bologna. Not all of it is in English though.

Five little villages are built into the rocks between the beach and the hills. Emilia Romagna : From the Apennines to the Adriatic Coast.

The City of Ravenna : Ravenna boasts many sights in the World Heritage List: The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia , Neonian Baptistry , Sant'Apollinare Nuovo , Arian Baptistry , The Archiepiscopal Chapel , Mausoleum of Theodoric , The Basilica of San Vitale , Sant'Apollinare in Classe . Parma Verdi Country: Giuseppe Verdi was born in Roncole, on the 10th of October, 1813. Parma Tourist Information : From the Parma Municipal Administration Tourist Information and Assistance Offices; not all of it in English. Castles of Parma : Constructed in strategic points throughout the province of Parma, the castles are a wonderful sight. Parmesan Cheese : The world's favourite cheese to top spaghetti comes from Parmigiano-Reggiano; a true aristocrat among cheeses. And doctors claim it's good for you. Italian Tourism : Regional listings for Italian tourist boards; mostly just an address and telephone number. Travel by Train : Italian train timetables can only give you a rough idea, as the long distance trains often run late. Autostrada : How to make motorways interesting? The Italians do fine; with interactive maps, traffic forecasts, and even suggestions of games to play when stuck in a jam. Lago di Garda The Lake Garda region is very popular with Germans.

Cheap Travel) Thanks to
Tim Leffel's Cheapest Destinations Tim Leffel's Cheapest Destinations Places where a fistful of dollars will pay for weeks of hotels, train rides, and meals. December 12, 2005 Student Travel (Usually Cheap Travel) Thanks to Kathleen Crislip who runs the student travel section of About.com. She mentioned The World's Cheapest Destinations in her holiday gift feature: Top 10 Best Student Travel Books 2005. I feel kind of guilty being on this esteemed list since my book came out a few years ago. But I am hard at work on the home stretch of an updated version, due out sometime around the end of February next year. No earth-shattering changes, but much of Eastern Europe has gotten more expensive, especially for Americans, and a few up and comers have gotten more attractive. New additions will be Argentina, Nicaragua, and Romania. I want to keep the number at 21 though, which means a few will drop out and become "honorable mentions." I'm also adding a short bit on East Africa, since more than a few backpackers make that trek down the coast. Having just gotten back from Botswana and South Africa, however (more on that in the next blog), I stand by my assertion that just because a region has a lower per-capita GDP than where you come from, it doesn't mean it's a bargain. If you are a student traveling on a budget, as opposed to a trustafarian who just wears the uniform of the rebellious disenchanted, you need to go where your limited funds will go a long way. This means avoiding the places 90% of college kids on summer vacation set off for: Western Europe, Australia, the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. Yes, it sounds cool to say you spent your summer bopping around London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, and Sydney, but you'll come back with a debt load rivaling next semester's tuition. Look beyond the obvious--it'll be much more of an adventure, and you can live it up on the cheap. Posted by Tim Leffel at 10:43 AM November 29, 2005 A Home Abroad vs. A Home at Home Many long-term travelers daydream about not just passing through the places they go, but actually picking one and moving there. Their friends and relatives might tell them it's risky, but is it really more risky than buying something in our current overheated home markets? After all, with housing prices through the roof in most developed countries now, buying land or a house overseas is looking like a safer bet. I won't say more since I wrote a long article on the subject for the current issue of Offshore Real Estate and Investment Quarterly , put out by the publishers of EscapeArtist.com. But I will add that when you start reading EscapeArtist and International Living on a regular basis, you realize that some people don't just daydream about buying a little place of their own overseas someday--they really do it. Lots of them. Every month. Then after they get there, they often find they're spending a small fraction of what they did at home. A safer investment and cheaper living--a nice combination. Posted by Tim Leffel at 12:20 AM RSS Feed Forbes Best of the Web Buy The Book Untitled Document The Worlds Cheapest Destinations provides a capsule overview of 21 great travel bargains, with cost information for lodging, restaurant meals, local transportation, and attractions, including what you can get for a buck or less in each country.
