Italy

From Tuscany's rolling hillsides and Rome's glorious ruins to the rocky coastlines of Sicily, Italy has always exerted a powerful hold over Brits in need of a little R&R (and a belly full of vino). And then there's the calcio: passionate, dramatic, beautiful and brilliant. Praise be, then, that cheap flights have made watching Italian football a realistic option.

For the price of a train ticket across Britain and entry to a Premiership game, you could be in the San Siro watching Milan's Kaka thump a shot past Juve's Gianluigi Buffon. So what are you waiting for? Here, you'll find everything you need to plan a trip.
