There are many people who want to visit Italy but they do not know where they should go in Italy. The answer to this question is pretty easy because there are so many beautiful places in Italy you will definitely enjoy visiting them all. This article is going to tell you about the 10 best places in Italy you must visit before you die and why it would be worth visiting them at least once in your life time as well as what makes each place unique and beautiful that will make your trip worthwhile experience in the first place.

  1. Getting To Milan
    Milan is a major transportation hub and a fashion capital. Getting to Milan is easy from anywhere in Europe or North America, with direct flights available from most major hubs. Several trains leave for Milan daily and usually take about six hours to reach their destination. From Rome, it’s just two hours on an express train (about $100 one-way). You can also take a bus, which costs less than $20 and takes six hours. If you are driving to Milan, it will take at least five hours along Highway A1; be sure to allow plenty of time when crossing borders into other countries as they tend to have traffic jams that stretch on for miles.

  2. The Best Of Venice
    Venice is quite possibly one of my favorite cities, both as a traveler and a resident. But why is it so appealing? Well, just like Rome (my favorite city to live in), Venice has character unlike any other place I've been. You really can't compare Venice to anywhere else on earth. It's unique by its very definition: Canals, bridges and Italian architecture are only some of what make Venice so special. While we do live here, one thing that never gets old for us is taking day trips from our little city to find new beaches or monuments throughout Europe. And whether it's your first trip here or your hundredth, here are 10 spots every traveller should see during their trip to Venezia!

  3. Florence - A City That Touches Your Soul
    Florence is one of those Italian cities that will touch your soul. There are some major advantages to living in such a beautiful city, as opposed to a bustling metropolis like Rome. One major advantage is its public transportation system, which is efficient and cheap. Even more importantly, everything can be done on foot here because Florence is compact. You can easily walk from neighborhood to neighborhood, always discovering something new along the way.

  4. Umbria - A Place For Adventure
    Umbria, a region in central Italy, may be relatively undiscovered compared to nearby Tuscany and its many vineyards and medieval hill towns. However, it offers its own unique brand of adventure with hundreds of miles of hiking trails that wind through pristine forests and mountaintops. It also boasts one of Europe’s biggest lakes, Lake Trasimeno, which is surrounded by fishing villages known for their fresh seafood. The region’s culinary influence from nearby Tuscany has led to distinctive foods such as pecorino cheese and wild boar sausages; enjoy them during your next picnic at one of Umbria’s breathtaking natural wonders. For example... we picked Lake Trasimeno.

  5. Rome - Ancient History And Culture
    Rome is arguably one of the most important cities in world history. The ancient city of Rome covers 753 hectares, according to Lonely Planet. Rome's historic centre, where tourists want to be, only takes up a small portion of that - less than 20 hectares. In other words, there's lots more to see here than just its rich history. Rome is also home to a lively nightlife and food scene, thanks to its cosmopolitan population and vibrant tourism industry. From Piazza Navona to Via del Corso and everywhere else in between, Rome offers something for every traveller – not least some serious style points if you wear your sunglasses at night like they do here.

  6. Puglia - Europe's California?
    Puglia is a region of southern Italy with some beautiful beaches, unspoiled ancient ruins and low-key resorts that make it a great choice for travelers looking to kick back and relax. Now that escape from America tour package companies are practically making Puglia out to be Europe's California, however, parts of it have become almost as popular as traditional tourist spots like Rome. And for good reason: Just like California has nice beaches, Puglia also has sunny weather; just like California has nightlife, Puglia also has bars and clubs where you can go dancing after enjoying fresh seafood by day. Best of all? It costs less than a plane ticket from JFK to LAX.

  7. Dolomites, Piedmont and Cinque Terre - Nature Lovers Paradise
    The Dolomites and Piedmont offer spectacular mountain scenery, while Cinque Terre is a coastal paradise on Italy’s Ligurian Riviera. The area known as Cinque Terre comprises five small villages set along rocky cliffs that rise from a secluded coast of emerald-green waters. The trekking trails here are superb, including several accessible for families with young children. You can also get to know local wines, seafood and other gastronomic treats during your stay – after all, la dolce vita has never tasted so good!

  8. Amalfi Coast – For When You Want To Get Away From It All
    The Amalfi Coast is one of those travel destinations that’s so stunning, it’s almost a cliché. Its sea-swept cliffs and terraced landscapes have graced more travel posters than we can count. Add to that some of Italy’s most delicious (and ubiquitous) mozzarella di bufala, not to mention rich gelato, and you have paradise on earth. The coast is accessed via Positano, a picturesque town perfect for strolling around or taking an unforgettable hike (it even has steps made out of discarded fishing nets—how cool is that?). If pizza is your thing, head to Da Michele where they claim to make Pizza Margherita in its purest form.

  9. Islands (Ischia, Capri, Sardinia etc.) – If Sun And Warmth Is What You're Looking For
    Located just off Italy's eastern coast, these islands are great for those looking to soak up some sun. While there are plenty of picturesque spots for relaxing (like La Piscina di Maratea), many people come here for more active pursuits—think diving and snorkeling.

  10. The Wonders Of Sicily
    Sicily’s landscape is almost as varied as its history. The Island of Wonders boasts mountains, forests, plains and cities, all of which hold their own unique attraction. Perhaps one of Sicily’s most famous attractions are its numerous cave systems that can be found throughout much of its southern portion. Many tourists come to Sicily simply to explore these cavernous wonders—and with good reason. These caves have some truly amazing features.
