This enchanting Italian city boasts a treasure trove of art and architecture, perfect for culture vultures. Don’t miss out on their grand, month-long carnival that draws thousands of visitors annually. Without further ado, here are ten things to do in Venice:

Known as the center of the Renaissance, Florence was called home by some of the finest artists and thinkers of the period, among them Machiavelli, Dante, da Vinci, and Michelangelo. As such, some of their works can still be found in this city, alongside notable landmarks and stunning architectural gems.

Discover the region that has inspired works of artists such as Picasso and Boccaccio. The stunning Amalfi Coast is definitely a great destination for those yearning for sea and sand, and a jump-off point for trips to the legendary Isle of Capri and the ruins of Pompeii.

With its old city center recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Siena is another popular tourist draw in the Tuscan region of Italy. It’s also known for the Palio, the annual horse race that has been traditionally held since medieval times.

If you want to experience the true meaning of cosmopolitan, then a trip to Milan is in order. By seamlessly blending old and new, this city has become one of the top destinations for shopping and fashion, without losing its soul.
