Italy
Italy is the place where past, art, and love burst into life at every turn. The north’s snowy Alps to the south’s sunny beaches, the Mediterranean wonder is rich in a mix of culture, food, and nature that is nothing less than stunning and hence, it is ranked among the top travel destinations.
The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon are all in the large piazza that is Rome, where ancient ruins are followed by modern-time luxurious fountains and populous squares. The city of Florence is a repository of Renaissance art and architecture, housing the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli, while Venice is a dream-like city with its romantic waterways, gondolas, and timeless charm.
The Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre are so beautiful that their seaside villages are painted in the colors of the rainbows and are build on sides of cliffs that are overlooking the deep blue sea, while the wine region Tuscany calls tourists to get lost in their journey through vineyards stretching over hills, visiting medieval towns, and taking pictures of olive groves at sunrise. Milan is the center of the global fashion, while Lake Como provides the best place for peace and relaxation amid the mountains.
The same is true about Italy as a country that requires the tourists to try the food a lot — from the pasta that is made by hand and pizzas fired in ways of wood to the thick coffee and ice-cream that is soft like cream, every province has its own fresh and traditional flavors and different ones too.
Think of witnessing of the past, tasting of wines, watching of Renaissance paintings, or just the relaxing moments in the evening light of the Mediterranean sea, Italy is a place that opens up the senses and takes the heart. A new story is written with every city, every village, every meal — a story of beauty and love.
