Italy, the boot-shaped country in Southern Europe, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. It offers a delightful mix of art treasures, trendy fashion, stunning landscapes, passionate people, and top-class cuisine. Italy has so much to see and do that it would take a lifetime to explore. Here's a look at the best places to visit in Italy:
10. Naples
One of the busiest metropolitan cities in the country, Naples is the capital of the Campania region in Southern Italy. The city offers a treasure trove of art works and historic sites as well as a vibrant atmosphere of shops, restaurants, and nightlife venues. Many favorite Italian foods originated from here such as pizza, spaghetti, and parmigiana. As it is nearby famous sites like the Bay of Naples and Pompeii, Naples presents an ideal base to stay while exploring the area.
9. 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. Popular with tourists for over 100 years, the Italian Lakes combine good weather with attractive scenery. 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. Further west, Maggiore is less popular yet just as beautiful, with several popular family resorts.
8. Sicily
