1 – Lazio, the most beautiful region of Italy for a holiday between cities and countryside
Do you already see yourself on a Vespa riding through the streets of Rome ? Discover one of the most beautiful cities in Italy and its countless monuments that represent its glorious past: the Colosseum, the Forum, the Vatican and the beauty of the Sistine Chapel, the seven hills and their legends… but also the churches, the squares, and the many architectural treasures that dot the city.
You will also be able to admire must-see places known from the cinema such as the Piazza di Spagna, the banks of the Tiber, the Orange Garden and many others, which make the Italian capital one of the most visited destinations in the world. You will also be able to taste the local flavors of Roman cuisine: “spaghetti alla carbonara” or “bucatini all’Amatriciana”?
Although it is one of the youngest cities in Italy, Latina , created by the fascist regime in 1932, quickly became the second center of Lazio by population. Its urban style represents typically a fascist city with rationalist architecture and many elements celebrating the glory of Mussolini, such as the Government Palace. Also note the style of the town hall, in contrast to the medieval style of the Civic Tower.
After visiting Rome, if you are looking for relaxing and/or sporting activities, go and admire the landscapes of Lazio , which are very contrasting: don’t miss out on discovering its mountains, its Ciociaria valley, its lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena, its regional parks “Riviera di Ulisse” and “Circeo”, which offer an incredible variety of colours , and, of course, its large beaches of Sperlonga and Gaeta.
2 – Tuscany, the most beautiful region in Italy to visit an extraordinary heritage
Florence , the cradle of the Renaissance, is known worldwide for being a mecca of art and architecture , but also for being one of the most beautiful cities in Italy for its many monuments and museums, which are absolutely worth a visit. You can also set off to discover its mysteries and legends.
Among the most famous places of worship or art , you can visit the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi and Accademia galleries. The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce can also be considered art galleries. Go admire the works of Botticelli, Michelangelo, Titian or Leonardo da Vinci during a skip-the-line visit to the Uffizi Gallery , stroll along the Arno River or take a boat ride, and stop at the romantic Ponte Vecchio .
Siena is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, known for its historical heritage and medieval style. You will discover the Piazza Del Campo, a shell-shaped square with its amazing color due to its tiled floor and the Torre del Mangia, which will offer you a magnificent view of the city and the town hall. Do not miss the “Duomo”, the cathedral, one of the most beautiful examples of a Romanesque-Gothic church.
We recommend you to participate in the famous Palio of Siena that takes place twice a year, where the “contrade” (district of Siena) challenges each other district in a horse race. This experience with its history and traditions is quite captivating…
the most beautiful regions of Italy – Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the symbol of the city. Considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the Tower of Pisa is actually the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, a masterpiece of the Romanesque style of Pisa, a must -see !
You can also visit the Baptistery, famous for its curious truncated cone dome , and the Campo Santo, the monumental cemetery where the city’s greatest personalities are buried. No wonder, given their beauty, that these four sites are included in the so-called “Field of Miracles” , a unique architectural complex.
3 – Liguria, the most beautiful region of Italy for a colorful vacation
La Spezia is a beautiful city where sea and mountains meet. Located in the Gulf of Poets, it is an excellent base for inland trips. You can take a boat trip to Vernazza and Portovenere, famous for their old houses and churches , their castle and picturesque cellars, but also to the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto , characterized by the colors and scent of the Mediterranean scrub, and by their ancient ruins from the 6th and 11th centuries.
