In today's video, we are going to talk about the top 10 places
to visit in Italy.
Are you planning a visit to Europe for a vacation?
The entire continent is full of amazing cities and tourist
attractions. But which country to visit?
First you have France, Spain, Switzerland.
The list goes on and on.
But before you guys go anywhere else, let me tell you, Italy
is the place to put on the priority list.
The country has a bit of everything.
And today we're gonna tell you about the 10 places you need
to visit in that magnificent country.
Number one, Rome.
Rome takes first place.
This city is the capital of Italy and is renowned all over
the world for being a cultural and historical powerhouse.
The city has some crazy mythical beginnings, but even today,
tourists still feel that there is magic in the air.
And why shouldn't they?
This city is home to the remnants of the mighty Roman Empire.
The chief among them is the Colosseum.
Some say the ghosts of Gladiators still haunt the ancient
building. Then you have structures like the Pantheon, the
Roman Forum, and dozens of churches.
The city is like a historical treasure trove.
Rome is also home to Vatican City, the Center of Catholicism.
Rome even offers something for the art enthusiasts who can
Marvel at the art house at the Vatican museums or or simply
look at Michaelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel.
Well, if you get tired of all the sight seeing, then head
on to the fantastic cafes around Rome.
You can enjoy pasta at a Trattoria or go for some gelato.
The food here will satisfy even the most critical foodie.
Rome is an absolute gem, one which none of us should miss out on.
Two.
Venice There are very few cities in the world that could
match the charm of Venice.
The floating city is as enchanting as it gets.
The moment you step out of the Santa Lucia Station, you are
greeted by the sight of the Grand Canal.
To get the full effect of the city, get out one of the water
taxis and ask for a ride on the canals.
You'll pass underneath the bridge of the Barefoot, and as
you drift along with the waterways, you may hear the faint
melody of a violin.
Along your way, you will see romantic gondolas carrying love
smitten couples.
The gondolas drivers even sing when they think the moment
is right on land.
The city is as confusing as its waterways, and you should
enlist the help of a local to guide you.
You can also go see St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.
If you are into art, then visit the Gallery Dell Academia
to see unique artwork from Famed.
Venetians Venice even has world renowned operas.
So do give them a visit.
Number three, Amalfi Coast Are you tired of the urban civilization?
Head out to the Amalfi Coast one look at this area and you
will fall in love with the sights.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site covers over 34 miles of majestic
terrain, Sky high coastal cliffs, vibrant vegetation, multicolored
towns all surrounded on one side by the turquoise green Mediterranean,
which all creates a heavenly site.
Each town on the Coast has something new to offer, Astel
colored Poisitano offers luxurious cliffside, resorts and fine
Italian dining.
While Amalfi is the home of Italy's old maritime Republic,
the ancient villas in ocean views in Ravello will forever
be etched in your memory.
Priano's is home to beautiful, secluded beaches, while Minori
is heaven for foodies.
You can also visit Cetara to see the Norman Tower, which
is rumored to have been built by Hercules himself.
So don't miss out, guys.
Number four, Florence Florence isn't the tiny city.
Many make it out to be tucked away in the Tuscan Hills.
This city was the origin point of the Renaissance.
Florence was not only the seat of power of the Medici family,
but was also home to great artists like Michelangelo and
Brunelleschi.
It feels like time has stopped in Florence and you were still
in the fourteenth century.
But that feeling is often interrupted by the ever fashionable
Italians and chic shops lining the Via Tornabuoni.
Florence.
The city is also famous for its breathtaking sunsets, fantastic
food and its unique romantic charm.
A must visit destination.
Number five, Cinque Terre , simply translated, means five
lands. It is a collection of five towns along the Ligurian
Coast. These towns were formerly remote fishing villages,
namely Monterosso, Manarola, vernazza, Corniglia, and Riomaggiore.
Man. These names are serious tongue twisters.
These towns are now connected by train and have finally come
to be noticed by the world for their chill vibe, delicious
olives and fantastic wine.
The region has become so popular that it has become a National
Park in a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You might need a few days to fully explore the area, but
believe me, the place is worth every minute of your time.
Number six, Tuscany, Italy Following the release of Frances Mayes's
Under the Tuscan Sun, the image of Tuscany a place full
of romance, chianti wine, olives, and great cooking.
And of course, the Tusk and Sunshine was deeply embedded
in people's mind.
This place is a bit different from the previous entries on
our list.
As the area is extremely peaceful, you can enjoy the beautiful
Italian countryside while sipping on a glass of wine from
an old Castle which has been turned into a winery and now
is the location of your hotel.
The rows and rows of Cypress trees, cascading Hills and swaths
of vineyards offer a scarce treat, one that you will be hard
pressed to find in any other region.
Number seven, Lake Como Also known as Lario, this Lake is
the third largest Italian Lake.
Its characteristic shape reminds one of an inverted y.
Lake Como is located at the foot of the Alps and provides
one of the most picturesque sceneries in the world.
It is a place to kick back and relax and bask in the luxury
of the area.
Expensive villas and hotels line the shore and its beautiful
beaches called the Sun Seekers.
If you are sitting near the Lake, you will often see beautiful
sail boats or speedboats coasting in the middle of the Lake.
If you check this out, then you should also go out to the
middle and just look at the surrounding Hills.
Believe me, you would never want to come back.
Number eight, Capri This is a famed Island from myth and
is considered to be the point where the siren sang to Odysseus.
The place indeed looks like it's.
Taken from the pages of a story book.
The rugged cliffs in clear water, coupled with green trees
and colored marinas and squares, look like a fairy tales
depiction. The small getaway has long attracted celebrities
and royalty, which means that you won't be hard pressed to
find world class restaurants, breathtaking hikes and five
star hotels.
A great way to see the sights is by boat.
Places like Blue Grotto, Green Grotto and Faraglioni can be
seen on a short trip around the Island.
If you don't want to go into the water, then you can take
a chairlift up to Mount Solaro.
There are even museums that depict Capris historical past,
so if you go to Italy, don't forget to visit this great area.
Number nine, Naples If you guys love pizza, then this is
the city for you.
Naples is credited as being the birthplace of pizza, so imagine
how good their pizza must taste like.
Other than this, this city is full of history, art and architecture.
You must go to places like Certosa e Museo di San Martino for
some amazing views of views aren't your thing.
Take a stroll through Via Caraccioli e Lungomare di Napoli,
or you can even chat with the extremely friendly locals to
get a better idea of the city.
As for art, you can see most of it at the Sansevero Chapel
Museum and Naples National Archaeological Museum.
If you love adventure, then visit the Naples Underground,
a network of tunnels built by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
But I would recommend not getting lost in those tunnels,
so take a guide with you.
10.
Sicily The site of many Greek myths and legends, Sicily has
its mythical qualities.
Sicily is a beautiful place, from lush rolling Hills to ancient
ruins to black sand beaches with clear water spilling on
them. The Island even as a volcano on it more commonly known
