Walking Along The Streets Of Italy
Italy has always attracted tourists’ attention from all over the world. The ones who are fond of art and culture must undoubtedly visit this museum in the open air. If you too are considering taking an Italy vacation tour, we have some great suggestions for you.
We advise you to start your tour in Florence, the regional capital of Tuscany, which is situated on the River Arno. Brunelleschi’s Dome is a fantastic sight and a must see while you are in Florence and should be your first destination in this great city. The most famous sight in Florence, however, is the Statue of David by Michelangelo, located in Accademia Gallery. Hardly a single tourist can be found that has visited Italy and does not have a photo at this statue. In summer it’s unbearably hot in Florence, but this is the very season when the city is most congested with visitors.
After visiting Florence’s magical sights and taking amazing photos, take a bus ride straight to Pisa. In an hour you’ll be already admiring the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is the main attraction of this city. But you also can’t help admiring the other architectural wonders of Pisa. By the way, Pisa is one of the safest cities for tourists, so feel free to roam the streets, enjoying all the sights.
During your Italy travel tour it’s a must that you visit Assisi, a small medieval city which is famous for its religious, historical and artistic significance. Assisi is rich with old churches and the main Assisi landmarks are two medieval castles, the larger of which is called Rocca Maggiore. Assisi can also be called a green city, especially in the spring and summer, when the grass and flowers blanket the entire city.
Leaving Assisi, make your way straight to Perugia – the capital city of the region of Umbria. Perugia is rich in sights, this is why we strongly advise you to set aside no less than 3 days for this city, in order to not skimp on the richness of this wonderful place. It’ll be unforgivable not to visit the Church and Abbey of San Pietro, Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria, Fontana Maggiore etc.
As a completion of your tour I guess you already know where to go to – the capital city of Italy. Rome is the largest and the most populous city of Italy. You need at least a week to walk along the streets of Rome and Venice, admiring the places of interest. The main symbol of Rome is the Coliseum (70-80 AD), the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. The most important monuments of ancient Rome are the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, Trajan’s Column, Trajan’s Market, the Catacombs, the Baths of Caracalla, La Fontana di Trevi, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Mausoleum of Augustus, the Pyramid of Cestius, and the Bocca della Verità .
After such a tour in Italy you will surely fall in love with this historical country wanting to return to it again and again.
