You are finally organizing your dream trip to Italy, and you are realizing that there are so many places, attractions and points of interest to visit. In this short article we tell you the 10 things you absolutely must see during your trip to Italy. We have considered iconic places, attractions known all over the world that can be organized during one or more trips to Italy, touching the main cities of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1) Colosseum<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You cannot return from your trip to Italy without seeing the Colosseum in Rome. With its almost 2000 years of history, the Colosseum remains the best known icon in the world as a symbol of Italy. Next to it you will find the ancient Roman Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The Sistine Chapel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Michelangelo Buonarroti’s most famous work attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world every year. In your travel itinerary in Italy you must include a visit to the Vatican Museums to see the Sistine Chapel. Remember is still a place of worship where liturgical rites are celebrated so no photographs inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3) The Trevi Fountain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Trevi Fountain has become the romantic symbol of the city of Rome thanks above all to the film La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini and to the legend that would like all travelers to return to Rome by destiny who would throw a coin into the clear water of its tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4) The canals of Venice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Venice is a delicate jewel, a city that has remained essentially the same as in the times of Giacomo Casanova. During your trip to Italy we recommend you to see this incredible place and its canals crossed by traditional gondolas. Remember to be respectful of the city and its streets to continue preserving this artistic heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5) Milan Cathedral<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Symbol of the Lombard capital, the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, better known as the Duomo of Milan, can now be visited entirely from the nave to the spiers on the roof. We advise you to include it in your travel itinerary because you have not really been to Italy if you have not greeted “la madonnina” the statue of the virgin mary placed on the roof of the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6) Ponte Vecchio – Michelangelo’s David<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have combined these two places because they are a five minute walk away from each other. The only bridge in Florence that remained intact after the bombings of World War II, Ponte Vecchio “literally old bridge” is famous for the colorful backrooms of jewelers’ shops that jut out from its two sides. The bridge is easily reached from Piazza della Signoria in Florence, where Michelangelo’s David is located\u2026or rather, the copy of Michelangelo’s David!The original statue is located inside the Accademia Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7) Botticelli’s Venus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We can safely say that together with Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Birth of Venus is the best known Renaissance painting in the world and the one that has had the most artistic interpretations. It is exhibited inside the Uffizi Galleries, in Florence (next to Piazza della Signoria).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Amalfi Coast<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With its houses, hotels, restaurants perched on the promontory of the coast between Sorrento and Amalfi, the Amalfi coast is a special place full of authenticity and excellent traditional cuisine. Do not return from the Amalfi coast without having bought some authentic limoncello, the liqueur obtained from lemons grown on the seafront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) Pompeii and Herculaneum<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to walk among the authentic and original streets of the ancient Roman Empire? Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum, the ancient Roman cities site of the catastrophic volcanic eruption of 79. b.C, you can do it by visiting the ancient walls and the interiors of the still frescoed residences of the wealthiest Roman families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10) Palermo Cathedral<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Historically multicultural land Sicily with Palermo as its capital is the city that hosts an exceptional place of worship, the cathedral of Palermo. An architectural jewel born in 1100 and then converted into a mosque during the Saracen occupation and then returned under the Normans to its Catholic vocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
