Top 5 of the most beautiful places to visit in Italy

It’s amazing how many Italians opt not to go abroad for their holidays. When I taught English in Rome I used to ask my students why they didn’t visit other countries. They simply replied: “Why would we? We have incredible culture, the best beaches and mountains to go skiing in the winter!” Italy is undoubtedly beautiful and I feel privileged to have spent 3 years of my life there. It’s a unique country where you are just as likely to find beauty in a quiet cobbled backstreet or a traditional trattoria than in its stunning beaches or extraordinary countryside. Using my experience of living in Italy I have compiled a list of ten places I feel are worth visiting. Some will be obvious, others maybe not so. Here is my personal list of 5 of the most beautiful places to visit in Italy:

01#Venice:

Venice is one of the most famous cities in Italy and one that’s built on water. It’s also often classed as one of the world’s most romantic travel destinations. In the middle of the city you will find the grand square ‘Piazza San Marco’ where the even more impressive basilica resides (it’s rumoured that Napoleon called the square the drawing room of Europe).

03#Rome:

Top 5 of the most beautiful places to visit in Italy


It’s impossible to do a tour of Italy without visiting the capital. Rome is an amazing city which is full of history spanning twenty centuries – you could say Rome is the world’s best open-air museum. As you wander around the streets the architecture will leave you in awe. There are many sites to see, the most famous being the Coliseum, the Vatican, St. Peter’s, the Trevi Fountain and my personal favourite the Pantheon.

04#Sorrento & The Amalfi Coast:

The most famous area is the resort Sorrento where you’ll find the addictive liqueur limoncello and plenty of great wine. The city can also be used as a base to visit Pompeii, this is the town which was buried by Mount Vesuvius’ volcanic eruption back in 79AD.

The 5 Most Beautiful Places in the World

This winter tour departs from the south-east of Iceland, so you might need to rent a car or a self drive tour.This stunning crystal cave was created by the force of an ice cap and formed by the glacier meeting the coastline.The ice is highly pressurized and contains no air bubbles which adds to the texture and deep blue colour, which is created by the ice absorbing all visible light except for blue, which is the colour that reflects back to us.Best to visit in winter on a specialised tour as caves like this are unstable and can collapse at any time.

5.Venice, Italy:
