Which country in western Europe is the most beautiful?

Italy, although I don't like the Italian team

Italy has a warm climate with four distinct seasons, dry summer and rainy winter. Therefore, despite the high temperature in midsummer, it is cool in the shade and indoors. I even feel a little cold at night. Italy is very hot in summer, and the south will be particularly dry. In winter, the northern region is extremely cold, especially near the Alps, and in winter in the south-such as Sicily, the climate is mild. It is best to go to Italy in the non-tourist season, that is, April to June and September and October. The weather is good at these times, the prices are low and there are fewer tourists. In the tourist season of July and August, the weather is very hot, and the prices are rising. Tourists are everywhere, and the accommodation on the seaside and the hillside is generally fully booked. It should be noted that many seaside hotels and visits are closed in winter.

spring is the best time to appreciate art, history and culture. The Bay of Naples, Sorento Peninsula and Sicily are the best seasons for flowers to bloom. In the northern Lombardy state (region), the rice seedlings are swaying in the wind, and the poppies are competing among the wheat fields in the central region. In short, during this period, there were various lively celebrations all over the country.

Italy is the most beautiful under the bright sunshine in summer. The rich seashore beaches attract tourists from all over Europe. The best time to take a sea bath is from late June to early September. During July and August, you can enjoy wild operas and concerts held in Vienna and Rome. In addition, ski resorts in the Alps can also ski in summer. The sunset in the evening is around 9 pm, so sightseeing in the city can be leisurely.

Autumn is a good time to enjoy fine arts, visit historical sites, and enjoy the hearty autumn in central China. In addition, you can also participate in wine festivals and Qingfeng receptions held in various places.

winter is a good time for winter sports. You can enjoy skiing in the ski driving range of Alps and Apennines. The coastal areas of Lipari and Sicily are still warm this season, so they are most suitable for sightseeing. Since December, operas have been staged all over the country.

suggested itinerary:

three days: stay in Rome and visit the Roman Square, the Colosseum, St. Peter's Cathedral and the Vatican Museum.

one week: Rome and Florence, and we can also take a detour to Siena and San Gimignano. Or you can visit Pompeii, Vesuvius and Amalfi coast besides Rome.

two weeks: the last week's trip plus Bologna, Verona, Ravenna and staying at least three days to Venice

Cost:

Low-end backpackers spend about 41 euros a day. In addition to accommodation, the most important consumption will be the admission fee of various museums and art galleries, which is generally about 6 euros. There will be a little discount for students holding ISIC cards. The cheapest accommodation ranges from 8 euros in a small town to 15 euros in Rome. It costs about 7 euros to sit down for a formal meal, and the price of roadside sandwiches and Pizza is 2-4 euros. In addition, if you travel in Italy, even if you have a European joint ticket, you have to pay a large surcharge, so it is not cost-effective to buy a joint ticket if you just go to Italy alone. Tipping in Italy is not mandatory, but it is customary for people to leave 1% of their spending on the table. The service charge is included in the bill of the restaurant. If you tip extra, you will appreciate its service. The tip is at least .25Euro. Generally, if you have a cup of coffee in an Italian bar, you will also tip the counter .5Euro.

Mail

Posta Centrale, the central post office in big Italian cities, is open from Monday to Friday, from 8: 3 to 2: . Saturday to noon, rest on Sundays and holidays. Other branches are usually open until 14: , Saturday to noon. Stamps can be bought at post offices and authorized small tobacco shops (Tobacchi, abbreviated as a big' T'). The business hours of big post offices in big cities are usually from 8 am to 6 pm from Monday to Friday, and some Saturday mornings are also open. Postage for postcards and letters under 2g is about .7 Euro.

Telephone

The international area code of Italy is 39. You must add the area code before the telephone number, even if you are local. Italy's telephone charges, especially long-distance telephone charges, can be said to be the highest in Europe. Many public telephones only accept calling cards, which can be bought in tobacco shops, newspaper shops or vending machines.

alarm number: 113.

Tax Free System:

Tourists visiting Italy (referring to countries other than the European countries "EC") can return the value-added tax (IVA) when they buy goods of 15Euro.

The exchange window of the Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome can accept the tax refund service, and the procedures are as follows:

① When shopping in the store marked with the TAX FREE SYSTEM, you must put the commodity name and price. Write your passport number on the tax refund application and get the transaction invoice.

② When you leave the customs at Da Vinci Airport, you can present the invoices and goods at the customs (arrive at the airport early so as to have sufficient time to process them).

③ Then go to the exchange office of Hammer Bank in front of the customs and ask for the refund of the value-added tax (cash).

④ if you can't ask for a tax refund as early as possible, you can ask the tax refund office to indicate the detailed address of the Da Vinci Airport Bank on the mailing envelope, and at the same time, attach a self-addressed envelope indicating your address and the name of the recipient.

Tourism Service:

The local tourism bureaus in Italy are EPT and the local tourism associations are AAS. The services accepted by these institutions are similar, providing free travel brochures and maps. Hotel list, etc. Some tourist offices also provide services in English, and the business hours are: 8: 3-12: 15, 14: 15-18: 3, and they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. (But it varies from place to place)

Other precautions:

Italy, especially Rome, is a place where thieves are rampant, so always pay attention to your belongings. Don't use a tripod to take pictures in the street. Rome, Naples, Palermo and Syracuse are also in danger of street motorcycle robbery. So please take care to carry your backpack and carry it on the inside of the road. When buying leather products, if it is marked with "Made in Italy", it is made in Italy; if it is "Italy", it is a foreign OEM product (such as China, Southeast Asia and other places). Don't drink raw water, even in restaurants. Mineral water can be used instead. If you meet Italian men who praise female tourists almost enthusiastically, you don't have to be flattered or make a fuss, which shows their romantic nature. Men and women are not allowed to wear shorts, short skirts or sleeveless shirts to visit churches or Catholic museums.

Italy time is 7 hours later than Beijing time (1 hour faster than Britain), and summer is implemented from the end of March to the end of September.
