Italy will resume international travel from June 3

Were you planning on flying to Europe this year, or you’re someone who’s craving the buzz of traveling to new horizons?

What comes as fantastic news to travelers, Italy is re-opening international travel from June 3, 2020! The mandatory two-week quarantine for all incoming passengers will also be stopped.

Planning a family holiday can be a complicated business: Backpacking is out, extreme sports are off the board, and even long-haul flights can pose serious problems.

Step forward, the city break. New research by Play Like Mum has looked at the common factors parents seek when finding a family-friendly foray, and totted up the top 50 European city breaks.

Props to Lisbon, Madrid, St. Petersburg and Zagreb, which all snatched a spot in the top five, but leading the pack was Italian capital Rome.

No, we are not kidding.

In an attempt to boost tourism in areas that are not Rome, Milan, Tuscany, Lake Como, Venice and the Amalfi Coast, the State Property Agency and Ministry of Cultural Heritage of Italy are giving away 103 castles across the country to prevent them from becoming crumbling landmarks.

Those who receive the property will have to transform the buildings into sources of economic growth i.e. hotels, restaurants, shops, spas or luxury villas. This is perhaps the reason that young entrepreneurs are being targeted for the job.
