As the birthplace of pizza, gelato and pasta, Italy is perhaps best known for its mouthwatering food, though it also has much more to experience. Wander through ancient cities filled with historical ruins and relax at glamorous coastal resorts. Among Italy’s biggest tourist hotspots are Venice, Rome and Florence, each offering iconic sights and world-class museums, from canals to the Colosseum to the Uffizi Gallery. Travelers in search of rugged coastlines and gorgeous beaches head to the islands of Capri or Sardinia, while food-obsessed visitors head to Bologna. For romance and open-air opera, venture to cobbled Verona, the setting for Shakespeare’s timeless love story, *Romeo and Juliet*. The Vatican City in Rome is another tourist favorite, with art-loving visitors arriving in droves to marvel at Michelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel frescoes. If you are planning a visit to this holy enclave, dress modestly and come in the afternoon to avoid the large morning rush. South of Naples is the scenic Amalfi Coast. Discover colorful mountain towns and picturesque former fishing villages, such as Positano. For a more rugged coastal escape, head north to the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre, five pastel-painted clifftop villages on the Ligurian coast. Tuscany in central Italy is another much-loved vacation destination. Stroll around hilltop medieval towns such as the multi-towered San Gimignano and sample some of the region’s famous wines, including Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico. Tuscany is also home to Pisa, famed for its leaning tower. Italy has an efficient public transportation system. Getting around the country is relatively easy. Ride trains and buses between the larger cities or rent a car to explore more rural areas and remote villages. Ferries run between the ports of the mainland and the small outlying islands. Two major airports serving Italy are Fiumicino Airport in Rome and Milano-Malpensa Airport in Milan. Uncovering all the charms of the “big boot” of Italy could take years. Pick your favorite spots for your first visit and plan your trip now. ### Popular cities in Italy [RomeKnown for Historical, Cathedrals and Museums](https://expedia.co.uk/Rome.dx179899) Stand in awe of the ancient ruins, legendary artworks and breathtaking cityscapes that make Italy’s capital so alluring. ## Reasons to visit - Pantheon - Piazza Navona - Colosseum [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Rome.dx179899)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels.d179899.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [MilanKnown for Cathedrals, Museums and Art](https://expedia.co.uk/Milan.dx180012) Fashionable and historical, this Italian city break destination of basilicas, designer shopping and gourmet dining is one you’ll never forget. ## Reasons to visit - Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Teatro alla Scala - Piazza del Duomo [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Milan.dx180012)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels.d180012.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [NaplesKnown for Historical, Tours and Museums](https://expedia.co.uk/Naples.dx6034774) Naples is a passionate and flamboyant city where food and family are the cornerstones of life. Resting on Italy’s southern Mediterranean shore, it sits in the shadow of the brooding Mount Vesuvius, its jumble of neighbourhoods sprawling along the Bay of Naples. Italy’s third-largest city is a contradictory and surprising place, where astounding archaeological treasures, cosmopolitan hotels, raucous markets and some of the country’s best restaurants have evolved together. ## Reasons to visit - Port of Naples - Piazza del Plebiscito - Galleria Umberto I [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Naples.dx6034774)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels.d6034774.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [FlorenceKnown for Historical, Museums and Art](https://expedia.co.uk/Florence.dx1222) The works of great artistic masters combine with nature’s beauty in a Tuscan city that’s overflowing with grand architecture, famous museums and irresistible charm. ## Reasons to visit - Uffizi Gallery - Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - Piazza della Signoria [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Florence.dx1222)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels.d1222.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [PalermoKnown for Historical, Cathedrals and Culture](https://expedia.co.uk/Palermo.dx2831) Explore Palermo: its monuments, history, culture and more! ## Reasons to visit - Teatro Massimo - Ballaro Market - Palace of the Normans [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Palermo.dx2831)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels.d2831.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [VeniceKnown for Boating, Cathedrals and Churches](https://expedia.co.uk/Venice.dx179981) To describe Venice as a unique city would be unjust.
