Naples and Vesuvius - the energy of life on the edge

Ancient streets, pizza "Margherita", noisy markets, espresso on the go - Naples is impossible to forget. And above the city rises the volcano Vesuvius, a symbol of the power and beauty of nature.

Amalfi Coast – Lemons, Rocks and Love

Positano, Amalfi, Ravello – villages that seem to have come out of postcards. Bright facades, turquoise sea, winding roads and terraces dotted with lemons. One of the most romantic corners of Europe.

Cinque Terre – five colorful villages

Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore – each village is unique. Walking between them is a real pleasure for those who appreciate views, wine and leisurely evenings.

Siena – the heart of medieval Tuscany

A brick city with the famous Palio horse race, Gothic cathedrals and atmospheric narrow streets. Everything here breathes history and Tuscan charm.

The Dolomites - a paradise for travelers

The majestic mountains in northern Italy are an ideal place for hiking, skiing and solitude. They are especially picturesque at sunset, when the rocks turn pink.

Abruzzo - wildlife and mountain villages

A little-known but charming region with national parks, wolves, bears and ancient villages, where life flows slowly, as in past centuries.

Matera - a city in caves

Sassi di Matera - stone houses hollowed out of the rock. In the evening, the city is illuminated by thousands of lights and turns into a fairy-tale scenery.

Venice - a city on the water

A city of canals, bridges and masks. But the real Venice is revealed in the silence of morning alleys and in unexpected courtyards, where tourists do not reach.

Verona is a legend of love

The city of Romeo and Juliet with its charming architecture, ancient amphitheater and wine-growing hills around.

Parma and Modena are gastronomic paradise

People come here for real parmesan, prosciutto, balsamic vinegar and pasta. Gastrotourism here is like a pilgrimage.

Urbino is an open-air museum

The Renaissance city of the artist Raphael with palaces, a panorama of the hills and workshops where frescoes and mosaics are still created.

Assisi is a city of silence and spirituality

The birthplace of St. Francis. Narrow streets, a white basilica, olive groves - everything creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Sirmione and Lake Garda

An incredibly photogenic place: a castle right on the water, thermal springs, the cleanest lake and vineyards around. Very romantic.

Alberobello – fabulous trulli houses

A unique settlement with white cone-shaped huts. Inside – cafes, souvenir shops and local housing. A real architectural wonder.

Lecce – a pearl of Baroque

Lush architecture, narrow streets, basilicas and the warmth of the southern sun. Lecce is also called the “Florence of the South” – and it is absolutely deserved.

Aosta – Alpine elegance

A city surrounded by mountains, with a magical atmosphere, mountain castles, fondue and wine. Ideal for a quiet winter holiday.

Calabria – Italy without tourists

Clear sea, mountains, ancient ruins and cuisine that combines Arab, Italian and Greek flavors. Everything here is authentic, inexpensive and sincere.

Sicily – the pulse of volcano and culture

Palermo, Etna, Taormina, ancient temples, Arab markets, almond sweets and an incredible diversity of cultures. The island is like a separate country.

Sardinia – turquoise sea and wild beaches

One of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. Clean beaches, quiet bays, pastoral villages and sheep. Even the Italian elite rests here.

Tivoli – ancient villas and fountains

Only 30 km from Rome – and a completely different rhythm. Villa d’Este with fountains, Hadrian’s Villa – a rest for the eyes and soul.

Italy is more than just a travel destination. It is a country of sensations, a country of emotions that changes with every turn of the road. Here, each region, each town has its own mood, rhythm and taste. And perhaps the best thing about traveling in Italy is the opportunity to find something unexpectedly close to you. After all, the true beauty of Italy is in the details, encounters and moments that remain in the heart for a long time.

Italy is best discovered slowly, without rushing. Choose a few places from this list - and allow yourself a real journey: with tastes, conversations, views and unexpected discoveries.
