Italy is one of the most exciting and romantic vacation destinations in the entire world.There are so many attractions to see in Italy that you need a good two weeks to see a great amount of beauty and culture.Guided tours provide the biggest advantage of having a native who knows the area，the language and the customs and can keep you out of trouble by avoiding any regrettable mistake.

One of the great attractions in Italy is its capital，Rome.In Rome you will find the famous Colosseum.This giant ancient ruin towers above you and you just want to stand there and stare at it.This four­story building once held 45,000 people on its marble seats outdoors，where they would sit and watch poor prisoners being fed to animals and gladiators(角斗士)fighting to the death.

Another beautiful city in Italy is Venice.The streets are all made of water and if you want to go anywhere，you must travel by boat.Venice specializes in jewelry made from shells and it is also home to thousands of pigeons；in the town square they look like a great white and black carpet，only moving just as they are about to be kicked by your feet.
