Florence (Firenze) is a compact city, but densely packed with spectacular art and architecture everywhere you look. The city center itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Birthplace of the Renaissance as well as Italy's fashion industry, Florence is imbued with an air of history and sophistication. Visitors are sure to be enchanted with the Florentine way of life, from the sensational Tuscan cuisine to the Michelangelo masterpieces. Art and food lovers will find much to embrace here. Looming over Florence is the Duomo, a red terracotta dome that is part of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Bellissima! |

Roads? Where you're going you don't need roads... but don't rule out a romantic gondola ride or a water taxi. Welcome to Venice, with its network of canals, rich history and composition of over 100 small islands in the Adriatic Sea.
One of the most popular features of this Northern Italy capital is the Grand Canal, once a major center of the Renaissance. Be sure to see the central square Piazza San Marco, where all can marvel at Byzantine mosaics, the Campanile bell and St. Mark’s Basilica. Fine art, stunning architecture, white limestone bridges, moving about via watercraft... Venice is a singular experience and an astonishing masterpiece of civilization. Summer is the busiest time to visit, so plan accordingly. If you're looking for an unforgettable costume party, visit during Venice Carnival from the end of February to the beginning of March. |

Assisi, Italy, is a city where history and spirituality intertwine, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and awe-inspiring. Perched on the slopes of Mount Subasio in the Umbria region, Assisi is best known as the birthplace of St. Francis, one of the most beloved saints in Christianity. The city is a pilgrimage site for those seeking to walk in the footsteps of St. Francis, with the majestic Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi standing as a testament to his enduring legacy. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is adorned with breathtaking frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of the saint and the artistic achievements of the medieval period. Beyond its religious significance, Assisi captivates with its medieval charm. The city’s narrow, cobbled streets wind through a landscape dotted with ancient stone buildings, flower-filled balconies, and peaceful piazzas. The Piazza del Comune, the city’s central square, is home to the Temple of Minerva, a remarkably preserved Roman temple that dates back to the 1st century BC. This juxtaposition of ancient Roman architecture with the city’s medieval and Renaissance structures creates a unique and enchanting atmosphere. Nature lovers will find Assisi equally appealing, as the city is surrounded by lush hills and olive groves that offer numerous hiking trails. The nearby Parco del Monte Subasio is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, providing stunning views of the Umbrian countryside and a peaceful retreat from the city’s historic center. For those interested in local cuisine, Assisi offers a taste of traditional Umbrian dishes, such as truffle pasta, wild boar, and Sagrantino wine, all of which can be savored in the town’s cozy trattorias. Assisi invites you to "Discover the Heart of Italy, Where History and Holiness Meet." Whether you are drawn by its spiritual heritage, its architectural beauty, or its natural surroundings, Assisi offers a deeply enriching experience that will leave a lasting impression on every visitor. |

Capri, a jewel of the Tyrrhenian Sea, has long been a favorite retreat for emperors, artists, and writers. This enchanting island off Italy's Amalfi Coast captivates with its dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and timeless elegance. The most iconic sight on Capri is the Blue Grotto, a sea cave illuminated by a magical blue light created by sunlight passing through an underwater cavity. A boat tour through this ethereal natural wonder is an unforgettable experience that draws visitors from around the world. The charm of Capri extends beyond its natural beauty. The Piazzetta, often called "the world's living room," is the beating heart of the island where locals and tourists mingle over an espresso or an Aperol Spritz. Narrow lanes from the Piazzetta lead to designer boutiques, artisan shops, and local eateries, showcasing the island's blend of sophistication and authenticity. A stroll along Via Camerelle will take you past high-end fashion stores and picturesque cafés, while a hike to Villa Jovis, the former palace of Emperor Tiberius, offers a glimpse into the island’s imperial past. Capri's natural landscapes are equally alluring. The Gardens of Augustus, with their vibrant flowers and stunning vistas of the Faraglioni rock formations, provide a serene escape for nature lovers. For the more adventurous, the Sentiero dei Fortini trail along the western coast presents breathtaking views of the sea, rugged cliffs, and ancient forts. Alternatively, a chairlift ride to the top of Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island, offers a panoramic view that stretches from the Bay of Naples to the Sorrentine Peninsula. A fun fact about Capri is its enduring status as a muse for creativity. The island has inspired many, including French novelist André Gide and American author Norman Douglas, whose works captured the essence of Capri's idyllic yet mysterious allure. Visit between April and October to experience Capri in its sun-soaked glory, where every corner invites discovery and every view feels like a postcard come to life. |
