Whether you want to go on a boat ride in Venice, visit the Vatican Museums, or stand in the infamous Colosseum in Rome, it’s always worth visiting Italy. There are so many things to do that you’ll want to look at Italy vacations carefully to make sure you choose the right one.
Where should you visit? Which city is right for you? Here is a list of some of the must-see destinations in Italy:
Sicily
Visit the largest island in the Mediterranean and enjoy dreamy beaches and Italian flair. Other cultures have left their mark there as well over the centuries. You’ll have plenty of beach options thanks to the 1,000 km of coastline. Perhaps the most striking attraction – at least as far as geological features go – is Mount Etna, which is the tallest active volcano in Europe.
Milan
When most people think of “Milan”, they think of “Fashion”. In addition to being one of the Fashion Capitals of the World, Milan is also home to legendary works of art such as da Vinci’s The Last Supper. It’s a combination of modern architecture and historic glamour.
Naples and Pompeii
Pompeii is a interesting and popular tourist spot often found in Italy vacations. It’s located near Naples. Go on a tour of Pompeii for an understanding of the everyday life of the ancient Roman world. Other places to visit include Parco Virgiliano and Villa Comunale, both of which are surrounded by peaceful green scenery. There are hundreds of very nice affordable hotels and accommodation options in Naples.
Florence
The capital of Tuscany, Florence is the iconic Renaissance city. It’s a romantic and enchanting destination, where you can enjoy amazing architecture and world-class gourmet and art. If you have enough time, venture out into the Tuscany countryside. There is a wide range of hotels to choose from, some of which date back to the Middle Ages. There are plenty of modern hotels as well.
Venice
If you’re interested in romantic Italy vacations, Venice is definitely the destination to consider. The floating city has nearly 120 small islands linked by bridges and separated by canals. It’s recommended that you try staying at a hotel near a water taxi stop. It’s worth venturing out to one of the outer islands like the very colorful Burano and Murano.
Rome
Visit the capital of one of the largest empires the world has ever known. In addition to the Colosseum, you’ll want to take a trip to the iconic Roman Forum and St. Peter’s Basilica. Don’t forget the Vatican and Panthenon, either, two of the most important places.
