About Italy

Welcome to WhyGo Italy, your Italy Travel Guide!

Italy routinely inspires sighs and wistful looks, either of memorable trips taken in years past or about the dream trip you hope one day to make. This is a country full to overflowing with way more than its fair share of the world's great art, architecture, history, culture, fashion, and (perhaps most importantly) food and wine. The good news is that the Italians are generous about their good fortune, and quite willing to share the spoils with travelers.

Throughout the pages of WhyGo Italy you'll find everything you'll need to plan that dream trip to Italy - whether it's your first or your fifteenth. We've got the low-down on cheap airfare to Italy, information and booking services for hotels and hostels (not to mention rental villas and agriturismo properties as well), and details about transportation in Italy, from car rentals to train travel.

Then, once you've got the basics covered, WhyGo Italy delivers visitor information for the country's most popoular destinations - like Venice, Rome, and Florence - as well as some of the more off-the-beaten-path sights as well. We'll give you an overview of the second national religion, Italian soccer. We'll cover some of the idiosyncrasies of the Italian language. And then, because you've got to eat (and because we're obsessed with the cuisine), we'll tell you all you'd need to know about Italian food. Our goal is to pass on some of the passion we have for Italy to you, and not only help out with the practical stuff but with the inspirational stuff as well. Italy is meant to be savored, and we hope WhyGo Italy can help you do just that.
