Venice
One of the best places to visit in Italy, Venice is a unique city in that is built upon a lagoon surrounded by the Adriatic Sea. Located in north-eastern Italy, Venice is an archipelago of 118 islands all connected by hundreds of beautiful bridges and scenic canals. Picturesque waterways and historic architecture make Venice one of the most romantic cities in the world. Venice is often crowded but well worth visiting to see its magnificent landmarks like Saint Mark’s Square and Basilica, Doge’s Palace and Rialto Bridge. One of the most popular things to do is to take a gondola ride along one of its many canals.
Tuscany
Tuscany conjures images of beautiful rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees. The many pleasures of Tuscany include tasting wine in Chianti, simply relaxing in hill towns such as San Gimignano or exploring Renaissance art in Florence. Elba, the largest of several Tuscan islands, offers great beaches while Pisa is world-famous for its Leaning Tower.
Naples
One of the busiest metropolitan cities in the country, Naples is the capital of the Campania region in Southern Italy. The city of Naples offers a treasure trove of art works and historic sites as well as a vibrant atmosphere of shops, restaurants and nightlife venues. Many favourite Italian foods originated from here such as pizza, spaghetti and parmigiana.
Italian Lake District
The Italian Lake District stretches across Northern Italy. The southern ends of most of the lakes are relatively flat but the northern ends are mountainous as the lakes reach deep into the Alps. Garda is the largest lake, and offers stunning scenery, especially in its mountainous northern stretches. Como is equally stunning, with forested slopes rising directly from the water’s edge.
Sicily
The largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy that also includes several smaller isles. Home to every great Mediterranean civilization, Sicily is rich in art and history; from Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples to Palermo’s Baroque churches. The island’s most striking geological feature is Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano.
Milan
Nearly destroyed from heavy bombing during WWII; Milan has since reconstructed and now shines as one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. Widely regarded as a mega fashioan centre teeming in designer shops, Milan also attracts many to its surviving world famous treasures like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, The Last Supper, the La Scala Opera House, the Castello Sforzesco and one of the world’s largest Gothic cathedral.
Pompeii
One of Italy’s most visited tourist destinations, Pompeii is a famous Roman city which was buried under several feet of volcanic ash for nearly 1,700 years after the cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Excavation of Pompeii began in 1748, and the site is yet to be totally unearthed. A tour of Pompeii offers a fascinating insight into the everyday life of the ancient Roman world.
Rome
Formerly the capital of the Roman Empire, Rome today is the government seat and capital city of Italy. Located in the country’s central region of Lazio, Rome is a vast and complex city that is both historic and modern at the same time. Best known for housing ancient Roman structures and the Vatican City, Rome has endured for more than 2,500 years as an important center for culture, power and religion. There is so much to see and do in Rome, that it could take months or even years to see it all.
Amalfi coast
We hear the word “coast” and we think “beach” – which makes sense, until you see the Amalfi Coast and all those high cliffs. Some of the Amalfi Coast towns are on the water and have beaches, but some of them are perched high above those beaches. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. That’s why Amalfi coast is a perfect place for those who prefer both types of having rest: laying on the beach and discovering unbelievable nature wealth.
Sorrento (Sorrento – італ.)
Sorrento is considered to be the best place to stay in terms of exploring Italy. A beautiful city on the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is a fantastic place to find architecture highlighting Italian history or some of the best coastal views the country has to offer. Conveniently located close to Pompeii, Amalfi, Capri and Naples, Sorrento is a great destination to stop and visit or to plan your whole vacation around.
