Italy comprises of a large area of the European mainland, along with the two largest islands to be found within the Mediterranean sea, namely Sicily and Sardinia. Visitors who are exploring even the smaller island of Sicily would be well advised to avail themselves of a decent hire car, as many of the main attractions can be fairly spaced out. With over 37 million tourists visiting each year, Italy is the 5th largest tourist destination in the entire world.
The two largest towns in Italy are Rome and Milan; Rome is probably best known as an amazingly vibrant urban area which contains a whole plethora of ancient historic sites such as the Coliseum, a large Roman amphitheatre, and the Pantheon, a surprisingly well preserved Roman temple. The main airport in Rome is the Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport, often named the Fiumicino Airport by locals. Milan is one of the undisputed world centres of style and fashion, unique period architecture competes shoulder to shoulder with expensive designer boutique stores and trendy cafe’s and bars a vibrant and modern counterpoint to ancient Rome. Located near Busto Arsizio is the Malpensa International Airport, the major international airport to be found within Milan. Many international car rental firms operate within Italy, including Hertz, Avis, Budget and Europacar. Any visitor to Italy will find the choice of top class car rental options is extensive and well priced, making Italy the perfect nation to enjoy by road, in the comfort of your own private hire vehicle.
