DOLOMITES
The Dolomites are a mountain range located in the Italian Alps. This region of Italy is listed as a World Heritage Site. In the mountain range you will find fascinating valleys with outstanding peaks of rocky mountains and large green meadows. The area is also full of incredible picturesque lakes.

If you visit the Dolomites, you must visit Lago di Braies, Alpe di Siusi, Val di Funes, Seceda, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lago di Sorapis, Lago di Carezza, Giau Pass, Gardena Pass, Cortina D’Ampezzo, Lake Misurina, Alleghe. The list goes on and on.
FLORENCE
Florence is located in the popular region of Tuscany. It is one of the Italian cities you don’t want to miss. The Renaissance, an artistic and cultural movement, was born in this part of Italy. It is one of the most important cities in the world in terms of art and architecture. Just a walk through the city center will help you understand why.
If you visit Florence, you must visit Ponte Vecchio, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Piazzale Michelangelo and Uffizi Gallery.
MILAN
The city of Milan is a great destination for a quick getaway if you are short on time. It is also a great place worth visiting if your are visiting other places in the area. After visiting the incredible Milan Cathedral, you must also visit the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery and stroll through Sempione Park.
ROME
There are very few cities in the world as incredible as Rome. The historical, artistic and architectural richness of Rome is amazing. A complete visit to the Italian capital must include laces like the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Roman Forum, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Square and the Sistine Chapel.
VENICE
Venice, the city of canals, is on of the best destinations one can visit in Italy. It is a city where you can find beauty in every corner. Be sure to take a gondola ride along the canals, visit Saint Mark’s Square, cross the Rialto Bridge and visit Doge’s Palace in Venice. You can also take a trip to Burano and Murano, two towns full of color.
