However, this remark usually does not apply to coastal hotels . one point of the Italian program - very qualitative, though not cheap, treatment at thermal resorts .

Tourist safety
In Italy it is relatively safe, but some precautions are necessary: avoid visiting disadvantaged areas (in Rome, for example , they are adjacent to the station of Termini), women are not recommended to take evening walks alone .Since professional pocket thieves are active in cities, one should not carry more money with them than necessary, demonstrate them in the presence of outsiders, carry money and documents in one pocket or in one bag. . A good idea is to make certified copies of documents and have with them instead of the originals while traveling around the city .
In large cities (especially in Rome and Milan) and at popular resorts, larceny of women's handbags passing by motorcycles by fellows is common. It is recommended not to walk on the roadside, and if the "Rome-wizard" still bewitched the beauty of its highways, the bags should be kept in the opposite handway to the hand. Pickpockets operate in public transport and tourist thrifts from attractions.

Hotels in Italy
The categories of hotels in Italian are relative. Usually tour operators put up stars for their hotels on the basis of their own, more or less subjective assessments. It is worth remembering that not all "three-stars" in the country can boast air-conditioning.
The most popular type of accommodation in the country's ski resorts are apartments and chalets. Hotels in the mountains are usually small, with half board, the furnishings in the rooms - very simple. Choosing them, the main attention should be paid to their distance from the lift and the presence of the ski storage. Accommodation at the hotel is more expensive than in the apartments and chalets, but there is food and other services. Also there are "hotel-residences" offering both rooms and apartments (usually the apartments are in one wing of the building, and the rooms in the other one).
Voltage in hotels: 220 V, 50 Hz. Sockets of the "European" type: an adapter is needed. Also, read the rules of conduct in hotels

Add to this the generous "ski passes", sometimes covering entire regions - and the answer to the question "Why every winter millions of skiers, despite at quite tangible prices choose it is Italy? "Will be obvious to you . The income level of most Italian winter holidaymakers is medium and higher (just like the level of their skiing skills), a lot of youth companies and families with children go to the country . Yes, they almost forgot: there is another category of tourists - lovers of the "not-hot" excursion . They go on exploratory trips around the country in the cold season to avoid the summer heat and the confusion . However, quite often the "classical" routes of such travelers end at the same place where and at large The rest of the people are on the mountain slopes .
