Ah, that fatal charm of ITALY!!
“The Creator made Italy by designs from Michelangelo.”- This quote phrased by the renowned author-Mark Twain beautifully encloses the real magnificence of Italy where he makes a direct reference to the works of Italian painter and sculptor, Michelangelo, who was renowned for his precision and virtue. Here Twain, in just one line, clearly justifies why Italy is considered as the most graceful, enchanting and wonderful country in the world, just as perfect as Michelangelo’s paintings. Unarguably among the top tourist destinations in Europe and the eighth-largest country in the world.
Finest Travel Spots to Explore
ROME: historic, romantic and timeless
Italy’s capital Rome called the cradle of civilization is the city that is abundantly crammed with the relics of its ancient glories that include museums and galleries, cathedrals along modern age attractions. Expect the capital city to hold visually attractive wonderlands in terms of rustic buildings, romantic vibes, some of the most impressive buildings in the world and oodles of tourists lost in the timeless charm of its architectural finesse. From the famed Colosseum to the historic centre of Roman Forum, the Pantheon and the Palatine Hill to the incredible Sistine Chapel, Rome is deeply immersed in historical riches that need to be experienced. Not to mention, no visit to Rome is complete without a trip to St. Peter’s Basilica and scaling its heights is one fascinating experience to add to your Italy’s travel bucket list.
VENICE: unmatched and precious
There is no wonder why Venice has very quickly become one of the favourite cities in Italy to visit; the magic through which it pulls you in, the gondolas, red tile roofs, the old and beautiful buildings, the azure water and tiny, picturesque shops look as if they have been pulled out of an ancient fairy tale. Add to this a labyrinth of almost 400 bridges, overcrowded courtyards, twisting canals and little alleyways and you will know why Venice is highly preferred by the visitors for an ideal short break during their Italy tour. Prepare to get yourself hopelessly lost in the sights of San Marco square and Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs and the Rialto Bridge. Adding to the wonderment are the majestic Grand Canal and the magnificent Palazzo Ducale.
FLORENCE: arty and classic
Truly a city that preaches art and diffuses the Renaissance vibes, Florence is another gem on Italy’s crown. Located in the heart of the Tuscany region, Florence unites a relaxed, small-town atmosphere with astonishing architecture. Wander some of the oldest streets in the city until you reach the Arno River. You will surely want to pull out your camera here! Head to the Ponte Vecchio and experience the "newest" area of Florence, the Oltrarno. Be sure to spare some time to see the vast and varied art collection housed in the Pitti Palace. When you grow weary of museums and monuments, head outdoors or into the countryside of Tuscany. Here, you will experience sights of sweeping landscapes, views of extensive farmlands and traditional Italian Tuscan homes standing proudly amongst the rows of beautiful trees! Spend a day at the Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte to experience an enchanting view of Florence.
MILAN: shop, admire, relax, repeat!
Milan, Italy’s second-largest city is where the old-fashioned meets the brand-new and where fashion, food and modern designs are on display to the world. Rightly known as the fashion capital, Milan is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the European Union. It is the city where you’ll find modern Italy – looking to the future but always paying respect to its glorious past. The streets here glow with magnificence and you’ll find the epicentre of Italian fashion on the Via Montenapoleone in the Quadrilatero d’Oro while you get the glimpse of countless Renaissance by walking through the Brera district and on to Parco Sempione and its Castello Sforzesco. However, the real treat for history lovers is Milan’s historic centre found in the area around the Piazza del Duomo. This superb Gothic cathedral dominates the city skyline and is an emblem of Milan. And of course, Milan was home to Leonardo da Vinci so you can see the master’s impressions sprinkled across the city– from the canals of the Navigli district to the Duomo itself. You cannot afford to miss the city’s most romantic and relaxation friendly area- Lake Como which will fill your soul with harmony as here you will be surrounded by nothing but charming villas and villages set just next to the expansive blue waters of the lake.
NAPLES & THE TOWNS OF AMALFI COAST: colourful and wonderful
Colourful villages sitting quaintly over cliffs, cities with intriguing culture and history, crystal-clear warm waters and places frozen in time – South Italy has a lot to offer. Out of its incredible portfolio, two out of the region’s crowning gems are Naples and the beautiful Amalfi Coast. Naples or Napoli as known locally is the largest city in southern Italy and is the birthplace of the original pizza as here is where you can gorge on some of the oldest styles of pizza. The city has a strong personality of its own, is full of narrow winding streets with a strong African influence. If you’re in the city, you might want to head over to the medieval Castel Nuovo or the nearby active volcano, Mount Vesuvius. Opt for a road trip from Naples to Pompeii to see this historic city being uncovered. You will then continue your journey to the Amalfi Coast where you will be captivated by the beautiful landscapes of winding coastal roads and cliff-top, colourful towns and buildings on the Coast. Each area here is so unique and unusual that you might just not want to put your camera away! The driving route here is certainly not for the faint-hearted but the views around and not worth missing. A great way to see the coast and several traditional towns in the area is to visit Amalfi, Positano and Ravello and one or more of the smaller coastal villages.
RENTO: blending nature and culture seamlessly
Trento is a small, charming town nestled in the Dolomites in North Italy. It is one of the cities that will impress you with its diverse territory, rich natural beauty, gastronomic wonders and cultural attractions. Here, you can discover a fresh sense of balance, well-being and having fun as you walk in the mountains, relax on the snow, go for amazing hikes or slide down ski slopes or sit and savour a glass of sparkling Trentodoc wine while you also take in the great architecture by visiting the 13th-century castle, a collection of rare aircraft and using your creativity at a state-of-the-art MUSE science museum.
