Please let me know, how is whether there, most famous tourists place etc. what is the budget for 20 days trip to go in Italy? what are best offers available in hotels for night staying, catering, market etc. Please give me idea regarding my trip.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Haroon,

well, you're starting in the right place as there are a lot of people here who will be very pleased to help you plan, when you have a bit more of an idea what you want to do.

first of all, what makes you want to visit Italy, rather than France, Germany, Spain, the UK? There must be something that you have read of heard that draws you there - what is it?

secondly, have you read any guide books? you could look at the on-line guide here - press the "destinations" button.

thirdly, you ask about budget. a major cost is going to be the flights, so you need to think about that first. then to that you need to add 20 days lodging, food, the cost of travelling around Italy, etc. These can cost anything from about €100 per person per day [for a very basic level] to 2,3, or even 10x that.

fourthly, how are you going to get around? train, bus, car? for a group a car might be cheaper but if you are only going to visit cities, they are not much use, and you can save money on the trains by booking in advance.

When you've got a few more ideas, please come back!

Also, once you can answer annhig's excellent questions, and have read some guidebooks, you should post your further questions on the Europe board.

I 'think' this is a fake thread??

We've had a series if essentially identical posts in the last couple of months - apparently all have been nuked.

OP registers, posts a thread similar to this always w/ the name in the title, traveling w/ friends, and exactly the same syntax/ 'non details'/ and claiming to know nothing about where he is visiting.

I've seen at least ten of these all w/ different screen names.

thanks, jj. We'll see if/when he comes back.
