Planes. Trains. Automobiles. Vespas, too. How are you going to get to
and get around Italy? And don't forget, Italy has over 4,000 miles of
coastline so cruising is a viable option too. Many of the
major American airlines and the Italian airlines Alitalia, Eurofly and
AirOne fly from the U.S. to Italy but you might also want to consider
connecting in the U.K. and fly one of the budget airlines to Italia.
Italy's Eurostar trains are a great way to get between the major
cities. For jaunts into the Italian countryside, renting a car is the
way to go but driving in Italy isn't for everyone. Another
option - bicycling!
