OPTION 2 :: Italy - Vatican City

The culture which has the Roman history and which has the Catholic country inside it.
It is one shot visit to 2 countries which really has lots to tell about how the evolution occurs on rise and fall of a complete empire. One of the example of how people through traditions can maintain an empire although there are not many proofs.

When we talk about tradition art and food play an important role. So, do not miss the love of eating and enjoying the hospitality with fun. Italy is also famous for the trades in Europe, so please discover the shopping fest or markets in the town and remember to Bargain!! $ !!
