Italy is full of exciting destinations to visit, making it hard to choose which one to see. Here are 10 of the top places that you may want to visit, and you could either make them the main destination of your holiday, or combine them in a multi-centre trip.
Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic buildings in the world, but there is more to Pisa than this. There are plenty of attractions in this beautiful ancient city, including the Camposanto burial ground and the Museo delle Sinopie.
Turin
The Shroud of Turin is one of the most famous mysteries in the world, but it is only displayed on rare occasions. What you will definitely be able to see is the Royal Palace, Teatro Regio di Torino, the Museum of Oriental Art and the impressive cathedral amongst other things.
Venice
Venice is one of the most popular destinations in Italy, and if you book your holiday using a specialist such as Italy Multi Centre Holidays you will be able to visit it as part of a multi-centre trip. It is the perfect place for getting lost, for strolling around leisurely and taking it easy. Take a gondola ride along the Grand Canal, go inside St Mark’s Basilica, and take a tour to the islands in the lagoon while you are here.
Milan
Milan is all about shopping, so if you want to pick up some designer items, this is the place to go. As well as that, you can visit the San Siro football stadium and see ‘The Last Supper’ at the Maria delle Grazie, or spend an evening in the world-famous La Scala Opera House.
Florence
Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is widely considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Not only is the architecture delightful, but you will also be able to visit popular attractions like the Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi Gallery, as well as the Pitti Palace. Also make sure you go to the top of the cathedral to see the views.
Rome
Rome is somewhere you could spend a week or more and still not see all of its highlights. If your time here is limited to a few days, make sure you visit the Colosseum, explore the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, as well as St Peter’s Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the Roman Forum.
The Amalfi Coast
If you want to explore a region of Italy, the Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful. There are numerous villages and towns dotted along the coast, so the best way to see it is to hire a car and explore at your leisure.
Cagliari
If you would rather head to Sardinia, you can visit the capital city and explore the Art Nouveau architecture and highlights including the beautiful Poetto beach and the historic Basilica of San Saturnino.
Tuscany
Tuscany is another one of Italy’s most popular regions, and people are attracted here for its natural beauty, its history and its wine. Choose a historic hilltop village as your base and explore your surroundings on foot or by car, and you will soon realise why this is one of the most popular regions in Italy.
Sorrento
This historic town is popular with tourists, and it is often chosen as an ideal location if you want to explore the surrounding area. For example, you can use it as a base to visit Pompeii, Capri, Mount Vesuvius and Naples, and it’s also a pleasant town in itself.
