When applying for Travel Visa to Italy is email printout of online hotel booking enough proof of accomadation? I booked for a hotel online through an online travel website and received email confirmation of booking.

What are the best travel agencies/guides for two teens traveling to england, france, and italy alone? Help!!!? Ok, I'm 18 years old and my cousin is 16. We're planning on going to Europe this summer from july to august for a month. England-about 10 days, Italy- about 10 days, and France- about 10 days (may change depending on whether we'd rather stay in one country longer). We're going to travel from one country to another by train. We've never traveled outside the U.S. by ourselves and we need a lot of help. What do you suggest we do? I dont want to go on a rigid tour, I'd rather just get a good travel agent for some guidance but I don't know where to find one. I went on tripology but they said they couldn't find one for us which I find hard to believe...I'm going to read some travel books hopefully that helps too (I've heard that the "Let's Go" series is the best for young adults) PLEASE HELP!! ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! =)))) thanks a lot!!

I am looking for a family friendly trip to Italy? I have 4 children, ages 17, 14, 13, and 10. We will be traveling spring, '08. Is this a good time to go to Italy? Should we book a trip with a travel agency, like a guided tour, or is there a better way to book things separately, like a "do it at your own pace?" I do not want to be overbooked like the guided tours tend to be, with having so many kids, but I do want to see at least Rome, Florence, Venice, and Capri, or some ocean. I am worried that we could not do it on our own, without the help of a guided tour. But the tours tend to be so fast paced, and boring. I want this to be an amazing trip, that we will never forget. And fun yet educational for the kids. Thank you for your answers to anyone who has done a trip like this!

Italy, which place to visit and what do I need to know? I want to go to Italy and am curious which city offers the most tourist attractions or is tourist friendly, any suggestions they are appreciated.

How do you order tap water in Italy? In Paris, I found that I could save 5-7 Euro per meal simply by ordering tap water instead of bottled. The problem was, no travel guide or phrase book ever seems to include this handy tip...I simply started copying the locals I overheard ordering a "carafe d'eau." If you stop off at a cafe or casual restaurant in Italy, what is the correct phrase to order plain ol' water? EDIT: I realize now the issue isn't as black & white as I thought it might...Thank you all for your answers. I'll leave the "best" answer up to a vote, but all were very helpful.

Planning to travel to Italy? My husband and I are planning to go to Italy next JAN or FEB with another couple. I was wondering if you knew any affordable travel sites for self drive vacations. Last yr we went to Ireland w/ air, car and b &B's for one week was about $700 a person. I was hoping to find something around that price range. I've looked on all the regular sites (travelocity, expedia, priceline, etc) and they don't really have what I'm looking for. Air, and lodging (either b & b's or hotel or whatever) and I don't know about a car b/c someone said its real easy to get around with the train. So I don't know if we should forget the car altogether or rent a car. I guess I'm looking for any advice and tips I can get. And how soon should I book? For Ireland we booked a yr in advance and I'd like to do that this time, but only if I find a good deal. Thanks so much!

Why is Hungary such an invisible country? I once dated a guy from Hungary; I tried to read more about the culture & country at the time. so we could relate better... and it was weird how like every time I looked in the foreign travel and language book categories... Hungary was sort of skipped over... I would see every kind of book--- Italy, Spain, France, obscure countries in India and Asia...etc. except for ones about Hungary. Why is this? Why is it such a forgotten country in terms of travel and language? Is it because they weren't part of the EU until recently? Just wondering.
Are discout travel sites a good deal or a scam? I am booking my honeymoon to Florence, Italy and I want to save some money on airfaire. Are sites like bestfares.com worth it? Has anyone ever used it?

This is different from sites like expedia, travelocity, or Orbitz.

I am looking for the name of a book? This was a delightful book about travel in Italy. The author suggested purposely getting lost in Rome on a rented motor scooter, also I remember him/her talking about the best pasta in all of Italy (therefore the world) and the resturante was called Mama Gina's in Florence. I don't remember much else about the book it's been many years since I read it. The title would be very much appreciated.
3 questions about travelling to Italy...? We are going this April! 1. I think we've decided that it's ok to just book our train tickets when we actually get there, so we have a little bit of freedom. Is this ok? 2. At one point we'll be traveling from Siena to Rome. I know there's no direct route on the train - best option? 3. I've read several times that Italians dress very well. Does this mean no jeans? What is suitable dress for travelling in Italy? Thank you!!
Why are flight to Italy so much? I need to book a flight with Continental from Houston to Rome for the summer. Why does a ticket to Rome (or Milan) cost significantly more than a ticket to Berlin, Frankfurt or Paris when all flights are about the same distance? Wouldn’t common sense dictate that the price of a ticket is basically based on the distance of the journey? Assuming that dates of travel, number of stops and airline are held constant. Excuse me, the proper title should be "Why do flights to Italy cost so much?" I have seen some bad answers to this question, so let me reiterate: 1) I MUST fly with Continental airlines. (I have a $1000 gift certificate) 2) If I were to call the airline, do you really think they would have an answer? If I asked a clerk at the grocery store "why does milk cost so much?" The answer would be "I don't know."
Need help planning a trip to Italy.? My husband and I and another couple are planning a trip to Italy for Jan or Feb of '09. Since I just had a baby last Mar and he'll be almost 2, I didn't want to leave him for an extremely long time. So we were thinking either 7 or 10 days. We haven't decided that much yet. And i was thinking it'd probably only be wise to visit two cities/towns. We wanted to do Rome, Tuscany, and Venice. But seeing as we will only be there aobut a week, it seems more practical to only go to two places. Since we will also have to catch a train or something to travel between cities. Or would you recommend a car? I really need help deciding on where to go. I got a book about Italy but there is just so much in there, I don't even know where to start and I feel very overwhelmed with it. So any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes, we are most interested in ancient Rome. So I am thinking Rome is a must. But couldn't decide between Tuscany area or Venice b/c Venice is expensive and we are on a somewhat tight budget.
Are European Airlines safe? This summer I am going on a tour in Italy and my travel agent booked us on a non-stop flight on the Italian airline called Alitalia. Is this airline as safe as an American airline like US Air or United Airlines? Have they had more or less crashes and accidents? How am I racist? Last I checked, most people in Europe are white, and so am I.
A trip to Ireland and Italy? My friend and I are highly interested in traveling to Ireland and Italy next summer.

Where are some places we should most deffinately visit. Etc. Any information you may have to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Also, what would be the best way to travel?

Schengen visa requirement to France, Italy and Spain? Part II? I am applying for a Schengen visa via the french consulate. I am travelling to France (3 days), Italy (2 days) and Spain (2 days). Do i need to provide the embassy with the hotel confirmation for Italy and Spain as well. The chosen accommodation in Italy and Spain refuse to provide me with the information especially if it for visa application. Any ideas what i should do? Thankfully i only paid a deposit. Additional Details I am from Barbados (Caribbean) and i require a visa. My problem is that my friends and i booked a hostel and one person paid via credit card.

I want to go to Italy...help? I want to apologize first...I did post this a little bit ago stupidly it was not in the ideal location. I want to go to italy for either vacation or for my honeymoon. I want to know things like: 1. What is the best way to plan a trip there? (ie, travel agency, or just buy the air tickets and book hotel on my own.) 2. Where do you think is the best place to stay there? (city, hotel...) 3. I have never been to Europe before-are all the hotels there like flop houses where you share a bathroom with 50 other people? 4. Will nice hotels be as costly as American Hotels? sorry my questions are pretty dumb...I've only planned a trip to mexico once and I stayed at a resort-I don't really know how that could compare to a European trip. also if you can give any other details or information I would love it! The more the better! Thanks!

i need help to translate this text in italian. please help me? It is time to bring lawrence’s travel books out from under the shadow of the fiction. Far from being just a supplement to the novels, each of the travel books can stand on its own as an independent and important work. Moreover, when read together, these books reveal a distinct pattern in lawrence’s spiritual autobiography: a search for eden that begins in the real world and progresses to the world of his own imagination. Writers of travel books can be separate into adventures, naturalists, esthetes , and etnologists. As a travel writer Lawrence belong among the ethnologists He consider the daily life of a people more important than the monuments and museum All of Lawrence travels books explore earlier modes of awareness. Twilight in Italy shows lawrence’s fruitless search for a culture in which both the creative and sensual sides of man’s nature remained active. Although initially attracted to what he called the Italians pan-conscousness, he soon realized that their preoccupation with the physical was just as limiting as the northern glorification of the mind. Gli scrittori di libri di viaggio possono essere separati in avventure, in naturalisti, esthetes and etnologists.

Euro train travel? I will be travelling between three countries in Europe; spain, france and italy. i would like to find out if anyone here knows any links, or has any experience travelling by train to and from these countries. Specifically i would like to know the names of the train stations from which the international trains depart from each country. Thank you. I cant seem to find any answers in books, or I dont know whether I am looking at the right things.
I have a friend in Lucca Italy who has over 4,200 tissue pks in his collection. Any other unusual collections? At least three times per year, I put together a box of assorted travel-size tissue packs (the ones that are 10 in a package) and send them to Italy. Some are found at Hallmark gift stores, while others are found at party supply stores and even book stores. There are all sorts of brands--not just Kleenex. In fact, it never occurred to me that other countries have their own assorted brands and designs. So the ones I send from the U.S. are but a small contribution to a really big and unusual collection from all over the world. If you would like to view it, you can find it at: http://www.silviofioravanti.it/fazzoletti.php. I was just wondering what other vast collections there are.
Any cheap accommodations in Italy, Greece, or England? i'm trying to get to italy (rome or tuscany but anywhere would be fine) Greece, or England (preferably london) somtime this summer. I'm on a budget so does anyone know of cheap accommodations/flights/travel packages? i'm looking for a more typical local expierence, not something i could read about in a tourist book. Any ideas???
Should I book a hostel in Italy and greece ahead of time, or is it easy to find a place in mid june-early july I don't want to be pressured for time when I'm travelling, so would it be too risky to not do any pre-booking? Is june/early july high season??
Best way to plan trip to Italy? I want to plan a trip to Italy next year and I know the places I want to go, things I want to do, but I don't know how to book it. I've never flown in a plane or even been overseas and this is my dream trip. Do I go through a travel agent or does that cost more money? If so, is it worth id? Would an escorted trip with a group of strangers be cheaper? What would be the best way to plan this and get most for my money? Any tips welcome! Thanks! Next year actually being 2009. Thought I should elaborate since we still have a few more hours until 2008!
Going to Cannes in March...should I also go to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome) or France and London? My sister and I have a 4 night stay pre-booked for Cannes from March 20-24 (she's 30, I'm 25). We have til March 31 to explore another place in Europe (about 7 add'l days). We were planning to take the train and do a country-wide tour of Italy, hitting Venice, Florence, and Rome (each for about 2 nights, on our own- no tour groups). Now, we're wondering if it would be better to do a trip through France instead, with a stop in London. Is there anything of interest in cities outside of Paris? My thinking is we may not go to that area of Europe for a while, so it'd be good to take this chance to visit Italy. It's more likely we'll get to London/Paris before we can go to Italy (I've been to London before, sis hasn't). What's a better itinerary, taking in traveling time/mode/costs? Is anything going on in Italy or France in the end of March that will make it worth a visit? We can also arrive in one airport and depart from another. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Backpack Europe with idiot in tow need ideas and guidance...? Right so the plan is I'm going on an odyssey around Europe and ultimately beyond for an indeterminate amount of time (budget roughly £10K) with a brainless companion. I'm going to go via rail, that much is certain, and stay in hostels in order to travel frugally. We're both under 25 so we could pick up some discounts... What are the best travel books to bring, Lonely Planet, Work Your way around the world? I'm from Jersey Channel Islands so the best and cheapest thing to do would be to catch a ferry to St Malo and then train down through France and I want to go roughly in a southernly direction to see Germany, Switzerland, Italy and then Greece. I'm debating the next step because myself and my buddy want to go to Morocco and/or Egypt so we thought we get a round the world ticket but catch a first flight from Southern Europe, ie Greece, and then continue onto Asia, Far East. etc What is the best and most enjoyable way of doing roughly what I have described?
if u were given a chance to travel..wer woud u go? y? me?! i would go to ROME-wanna see d architectural magnificence's i've always seen in tv and books.. BRAZIL/JAMAICA- the beaches TURKEY-parties there are awesome ITALY-the ambiance PHILIPPINES, camarines sur-water sports
Will somebody please look over my book report and check it for spelling/grammar? Book Report: Mary Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, in London, England. Her father, William Godwin, was a philosopher and writer, while her mother, Mary Wollenstonecraft Godwin was an author who was well-known for her feminist views. Mary Shelley received no formal education, but was taught at home by her father. As a child, she enjoyed writing, and at the age of fifteen she was sent to live in Scotland. In 1814 when she was seventeen, she eloped to France with poet Percy Bysse Shelley. They spent the summer of 1816 in Switzerland, and during this time she began writing Frankenstein. On March 11, 1818, Frankenstein was published anonymously, receiving mixed reviews. For the rest of her life, she wrote other books and traveled around Europe, living in Italy and England. In Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is an up-and-coming scientist who is passionate about alchemy. .He attempts to create a living being from inanimate objects, and when the experiment proves to be a success, shock and horror sets in. Frankenstein runs away, leaving the monster on the loose. He sits around for many years, trying to forget about his horrible mistake and hoping that he will never have to deal with it. However, the monster returns, seeking vengeance upon Frankenstein and all of his loved ones. Frankenstein attempts to regain control of his experiment, but tragically fails in the attempt. The setting of Frankenstein is in the eighteenth century all across Europe, and places where Shelley herself was familiar with. The Arctic, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, England, France, Scotland, and Ireland, are places in which parts of the book take place. The book begins with Robert Walton traveling towards the North Pole. The story then shifts to Victor, who was born in Switzerland, then moved to Germany, where the monster was created. Much of the novel then takes place in Geneva and the Swiss Alps. Frankenstein loses his brother William in Plainpalais. Victor seeks refuge in the village and valley of Chamounix. Then he stays at his house in Belrive. Victor encounters the monster on Montanvert. Most of the monster’s life is spent in Germany, since that is where he was created. He wanders around the woods and mountains of Europe to reach Geneva. Throughout the rest of the novel, Victor traces the monster around Europe, and the North Pole is the ending location. The main theme is the idea that ignorance is bliss. Shelley shows this theme especially when Victor says to Walton, “Learn from me . . . how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow.” During that time, not many people knew as much about anatomy, physiology, and alchemy as Victor did. Had Victor not had the knowledge of those studies, the horrible monster would not have been created. In that way, ignorance truly would have been bliss. I found this novel to be dry and boring. However, I did think the main theme was interesting. I have never read a book with a theme similar to that before. I do not recommend reading this book because the plot is too drawn out. Thanks in advance! =] and BY THE WAY: I did use spell check, but I might have accidentally typed "they" somewhere instead of "the". And technically, they is a word, so spell check doesn't catch that.. Just had to clear that up....
