3 Reasons Italy Should Be on Your List of Places to Visit

Italian Cuisine

You can’t mention Italy without thinking of their cuisine – they are very famous for it!

Visit and enjoy a traditional Italian pizza or head over to Genoa for some pesto dishes. Make sure you try some Gnocchi and Lasagne, it’s very different to home-cooked meals.

Restaurants in Italy vary in price depending on the area you are visiting and how well-known they are. Just like most countries, you have your award-winning restaurants and your more affordable entry ones.

We would always advise reading the reviews before booking, to see what other tourists have to say about the place you want to eat at. 

Italian History

Italy is flooded with history, whichever city you visit you’ll be inundated with a range of cultural things to see and do.

In Rome, you can see the Colosseum, in Pompeii you can visit the famous Vesuvius and the ruins. If you visit Pisa you will, of course, visit the leaning tower of Pisa and in Naples, you’ll explore the ancient city.

When you know what city you want to visit, do a quick Google to see the history that area has in it. 

Italian Landscapes

The landscapes in Italy are breathtaking, so much so that some would argue they are the most beautiful in the world.
