Milan
Milan is Italy's window on Europe, its most sophisticated and high-tech metropolis. La Scala, its landmark, is one of Europe's most prestigious opera houses. Milan is one of Europe's top shopping cities, with an incredible concentration of sophisticated, high style boutiques - and that's only fitting because Milan is the dynamo of the Italian fashion industry. Dolce & Gabbana, Ferré, Krizia, Moschino, Prada, Armani, and Versace have all catapulted to international stardom from design studios based here. Inevitably, shopping is of almost religious significance.
Discover The Last Supper by Michelangelo, The Duomo, Pinacoteca di Brera, Quadrilatero d'Oro, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Scala museum and theatre, Piazza Fontana, Arco della Pace, the churches of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Lorenzo, Corso Venezia and Piazza San Babila, Sforzesco Castle and so much more. -
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore is Italy's second-largest lake, and one of its most popular. It's a long, thin lake on the south side of the Alps, shared by Italy’s Piedmont and Lombardy regions as well as Switzerland’s Ticino canton. It's noted for its picturesque surroundings of verdant mountains. Some of the towns along the shores of Lake Maggiore which are worth noting are Stresa, Cannobio, Arona, Verbania, and Baveno. The three tiny, but popular Borromean Islands, with their terraced gardens and aristocratic villas, can be reached by boat from Stresa, one of the larger lake towns.
Visit and explore the Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori, Villa Pallavicino Park, Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, Lagoni di Mercurago, Mottarone Mountain, castles, fortresses, and so much more. -
Verona
The city of Verona rivals Venice in terms of mystique and romance. The allure of Romeo and Juliet draws visitors to Verona, making it the most visited city in the region after Venice. Aside from Shakespeare's tragic tale, Verona is a charming Renaissance city, with numerous medieval palazzi, churches, towers, and centuries old piazzas. Other sites of interest are the Roman amphitheatre (the third largest in Italy), Arco dei Gavi, and the Basilica of San Zeno.
Visit and explore the Verona Arena, Piazza delle Erbe, Castelvecchio Museum, Ponte Scaligero, Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, Ponte Pietra, Basilica di Santa Anastasia, and so much more. -
Rapallo
Rapallo lays sheltered from winds and currents in an inlet on the Golfo del Tigullio. There's a picturesque castle in the sea, a small harbor, and a fine seaside 'Lungomare Vittorio Veneto,' a traditional red-brick promenade lined with palm trees, skirting the semi-circular harbor. Along the promenade are art nouveau buildings, restaurants, bars, and hotels. In summer small music groups sometimes perform in the early 20th century band shell, Chiosco della Banda Cittadina.
Visit and explore the Rapallo Castle (built in 1551 to guard against pirate attacks), Saline Gate (remaining from the ancient walls, separates the historic center from the seaside promenade), Basilica of Saints Gervasius and Protasius, the Municipal Tower (clock tower from 1473), the Church of Saint Francis, and so much more. -
Florence
The city of Florence sits nestled among the rolling Tuscan hills, with an unmistakable skyline dominated by the fabulous Duomo. With so much Renaissance art and culture, shopping opportunities, and incredible culinary delights, you will be spoiled for choices in what to do and see in this exciting capital city of Tuscany. Florence's museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world.
Visit The Duomo Complex, Church of Santa Croce, The Cathedral, The Uffizi Gallery, Galleria dell'Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens and so much more.
