Holiday makers tend to divide themselves into two camps – those seeking culture and those for whom a holiday is not a holiday without a chance to flop on the beach or by the pool (with a good book and a cocktail for company). The good news is that in Italy you rarely have to sacrifice the former for the latter.
Travel abroad has been slowly cranking into action again since September. And, whilst Omicron might have put a dampener on immediate holiday plans there’s still plenty of opportunity to dream about next summer. Fully vaccinated travellers are currently allowed into Italy without the need to isolate which bodes well for a 2022 getaway.
Brixen
Not widely referenced in guidebooks, the mountain town of Brixen (otherwise known as Bressanone) is one of the oldest and most beautiful in South Tyrol. This region, which sits on the border between Italy, Austria and Switzerland encompasses large swathes of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomite mountains.
