10. Milan is a city in northern Italy, capital of Lombardy, and the second-most populous in Italy after Rome. Milan is home to the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, the Duomo di Milano, which took nearly six centuries to complete, from 1368 to 1965.
Being the fashion center of Italy, and one of the most important ones in Europe, Milan offers a lively and sparkly fashion design scene. If you like fashion and look for high-end designer boutiques, Via Monte Napoleone, Europe’s third most expensive street, is the place to visit.
9. Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy, and is the capital of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia. Its sights and architectures are influenced by a mixture of Austrian, Italian and Slovenian cultures.
The Castello Miramare is surely one of the most beautiful places to visit in the city. Experiencing the sea from its balconies and 22 acres of gardens is truly a wonderful experience.
The places to eat in Trieste are many, and they are warm, welcoming and lively. Most of the time, you’ll find cozy family owned restaurants and taverns where you can eat delicious local meals like Jota, Rice and Peas, fried pilchards, and salted pork, along with excellent, excellent wine.
8. Palermo, located in south Italy, is the capital of the Sicily region. With deep blue skies, amazing clear waters, bright colors and rich culture, Sicily is a true joy to experience.
The Palermo Cathedral is a stunning place to visit, especially due to its diverse architectural styles. For some natural scenery, a nice walk near the Palermo docks is also recommended.
7. Parma is located in Emilia-Romagna, and it is famous for its architecture and food scene. Two of the most iconic Parma products are the Prosciutto Crudo (ham) and Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan cheese).
6. Verona is a city located on the Adige River in Veneto. In november of 2000 the city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.
Two of William Shakespeare’s plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Juliet’s balcony is one of the most visited places of the city, along with the Verona Arena, the Cathedral and Piazza delle Erbe.
5. Siena, located in the Tuscany region, was one of the most important cities in medieval Europe, and its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The medieval architecture of Siena is unique and special.
During summer, the Palio di Siena is a major event in Italy. The Palio is a traditional medieval horse race run around the Piazza del Campo twice each year, on 2 July and 16 August.
4. Naples is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest city of Italy, after Rome and Milan. Rich of culture and amazing vistas, Naples is a true gem.
The city atmosphere is sparkling and vibrant, with countless local street food places, pizzerias and social hubs. Naples is the hometown of the original pizza: the margherita. You can taste unbelievably delicious pizza practically at every corner of the city.
3. Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region, and the cradle of the Italian language. As a matter of fact, the Italian language as it is today, was practically the Tuscan dialect, which was widely spread especially thanks to Dante Alighieri’s works.
Architecturally speaking, the city of Firenze is a beauty to walk in. Filippo Brunelleschi’s amazing cathedral is the largest Duomo in Italy, and it is so elaborate and big that it took 140 years to finish.
2. Rome is the capital of Italy, and the most populated Italian comune. Rome’s history spans 28 centuries.
A peculiar fact about Rome is that the Vatican City, where the Pope resides, is actually a City State, which became independent from Italy in 1929. There you can admire the majestic St. Peter’s Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, and the Sistine Chapel.
1. Considered by many to be the most beautiful city in the world, Venice has a lot to offer. Located in northeastern Italy, Venice is the capital of the Veneto region, and is built on a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges.
In Venice, you can travel by foot or by boat: gondolas, water buses (vaporetti) and water taxis seamlessly share the canal waters. While surfing the endless and romantic mazes of Venice, you can try some delicious local foods like creamed codfish and polenta.
Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful wonderful day.
