Italy is a country with endless possibilities for travel. From the Amalfi Coast to Milan, there are so many things to do and see in Italy that it can be overwhelming deciding where to go first! If you have no idea what places in Italy will best suit your needs, don’t worry we have got you covered. In this article, we’ll outline our favorite destinations in Italy that will satisfy any traveler's needs!

 

Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is famous for its scenic views and picturesque towns. The coast's most popular town, Positano, has been featured in films like Blue Jasmine starring Cate Blanchett. This quaint coastal village offers great food and breathtaking scenery! Rent a car or book an excursion to explore more of the area including Pompeii!

Positano: Located on Italy’s Western Mediterranean coastline near Sorrento, this charming fishing port sits atop a steep cliff overlooking the sea below. From here it's easy to see why Positano was one of Europe’s first seaside resorts—today you can still enjoy stellar seafood dining while sitting under centuries-old trees steps from the water

The Amalfi coast is one of the most beautiful stretches in Italy, and it's also among some of the busiest. But summertime offers a much more peaceful experience than during other seasons — minus any crowds or traffic jams. The best time to visit this gorgeous coastline is from June through August. In fact, you'll have many spectacular views that are off-limits at other times because they're inaccessible by car or foot due to landslides on steep cliffs with no trails in sight.

Folks who prefer an active escape will be excited about the hikes available along these slopes: Walk-up Positano’s Via dell'Amore for sweeping coastal views without all those pesky tourists blocking your way

Rome is a bustling university town. It's also home to Vatican City and some of the most beautiful landmarks in all of Europe.

Testaccio Market: A sprawling food market that has something for everyone; from fresh produce (including cheese made on-premises) to sushi bars and butchers' counters selling everything from offal to rabbit meat, this weekly event caters exclusively or wholesale buyers so you'll need

 

Florence

Florence is one of the most famous places in Italy. It's a beautiful city that offers so many things for visitors and travelers alike, including some of the best art museums in Europe such as The Uffizi Gallery or The Pitti Palace which has been home to various Italian rulers at different points throughout history.

In short, Florence is a must-see destination when you're touring Italy!

 

Milan

Milan is the best place to go if you are looking for fashion. Fashionistas from all over the world come here because it's an international hub of style and design with many major brands headquartered in this Northern Italian city. You can take a stroll through its most famous street, Via Montenapoleone, or shop at some of the trendiest stores like Gucci and Prada which have their flagship locations on this street. If shopping isn't your thing but art is then head down to Corso Vittorio Emanuele II where there are plenty of galleries that showcase contemporary art by both local artists as well as internationally recognized ones.

 

Naples

Naples has an incredible history and is the third-largest city in Italy. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 2000 years of rich culture - from its Greek origins through to the days of Borbon kings. Naples' most famous landmark is Mount Vesuvius, which sits just north of the port town on top of Pompeii & Herculaneum!

The Bay District in Naples, Italy stretches about six kilometers (or four miles) between Capo di Posillipo at one end and Marina Grande at the other. Here you'll find some of the area's most popular beaches like Baia delle Zagare or Spiaggia della Conchiglia.

 

Sardinia

Sardinia is a fantastic place for people looking into things you can do in Italy. It's located on the Mediterranean coast and it has some of the most beautiful beaches around. You'll find many popular spots here, including Cagliari, Alghero, Olbia-Tempio, Dorgali, and Nuoro among others! For those who want to dine out while they're visiting Sardinia, there are plenty of choices with restaurants serving dishes like Polenta con le Sarde (polenta with sardines) or Riso alla Birra (beer rice). There are also many great wine tours that take visitors through picturesque vineyards dotted across this region.

 

Cinque Terre

It's Cinque Terre. The name of the area comes from five towns all located on different cliffs and mountains right along a rugged coastline that are so close together, you can see them at one point when looking out into the water.

The best way to explore it is with both feet and eyes: hike some trails, take in iconic views at mountain peaks, kayak through coves by day or night—and sip wine at any number of vineyards afterward.

Cinque Terre offers everything a traveler could want—beaches for sunning, hiking trails lined with wildflowers (a rarity in southern Europe), medieval fortresses like Portovenere’s 13th century castle.

 

Lake Como

Lake Como is considered by many to be the most beautiful spot in all of Italy. It's famous for its stunning views, and it has been a tourist destination for centuries as both locals and travelers alike love coming here year after year. Most people come to this region during the warmer months so they can enjoy themselves on one of the three lakes that make up Lake Como - Lago di Lecco, Lago d'Iseo, or Garda - but even if you visit at another time there are still plenty of things to do throughout this area such as taking boat tours around these incredible bodies of water, hiking through some picturesque mountainsides filled with ancient ruins from past civilizations.

 

The Amalfi Coast, Rome, Florence, Milan, and Naples are all great destinations in Italy. If you want to get the most out of your visit, consider visiting Cinque Terre or Sardinia for a more adventurous experience; Lake Como is perfect if you're looking for a quiet place with breathtaking views, or head back into one of these bustling cities like Rome!
