What is most exciting thing to do in Italy?

Question

My family (two parents about 50 and my brother (17) and myself (20) has traveled to Italy before and we are planning on going again in about a week. This time we want to bypass some of the usual stuff and have a really fun adventure, that is both active (but not too active so my whole family can keep up) and historical. My brother doesn't want to go because he wants something athletic that will keep him entertained. I am an art student and really looking forward to experiencing some of the art. Is there any way to keep us all appeased?

Answer 1

pizza, ice creams, if u're lucky u might find a few theme parks, but the best one in Italy is  in garda .

Answer 2

People your age and older hang out on the Spanish steps in rome and also the trevi fountain which is the largest fountain in rome, 50 min from the spanish steps.  You will see alot of activity and people.  Bring your camera and snap pictures for memories.  Make a wish in the Trevi Fountain and be sure to drink out of the fountains in rome as well, you will see people filling up waterbottles.  Have fun!

Answer 3

Unfortunately it's late to get tickets for the Scavi tour.  This is the tour of the archaeological excavations under St. Peter's.  

When in Rome go to Ostia Antica and then the beaches of Ostia.  This is a good combination of art, history, and fun.

Answer 4

My suggestion is to find a region, and go off and have fun.  Dont plan to much ahead of time, because then nothing will be spontaneous.

I would suggest you pick a region, such as Tuscany, and make reservations at a hotel in a central area, and each day venture out and see what you can find to do...mabe ask the local people in the shops or resturants of nice things to do...and catch a train and go and see and do it.

Also, since it is a family trip, you each need to get a turn to choose what you want to do (otherwise not everybody is going to have fun!)  So mabe each of you could take a day (or two, depending on how long you will be there) and choose what you want to do on that day...so if your brother wants to go to the beaches or something on his day, you could all go to the beach, and mabe on your day you want to go and see some art work and historical buildings etc.

Answer 5

AT your age,nude beaches would be fun.  You are too young for Sport Bars and night life.

Answer 6

It depends where in italy you go. Florence I loved first of all because of the amazing scenery, great places to take alot of photo shots and the cathederals are architecural incredible, something your parents would enjoy. Theres the Giotto’s bell tower (campanile) stands on the Cathedral square (Piazza del Duomo). The top, with its breathtaking panorama of Florence and the surrounding hills, can be reached by climbing 414 steps, something your brother would like doing. Then there is my favorite, the Uffizi museum, one of the most stunning works of art I have ever seen. On the top floor, there a huge terrace overlooking the city, amazing. Something you would enjoy. Theres lots of shops, some really interesting and different things you can buy which everyone can enjoy.
