Top places to visit in Italy
Rome
The Romans left their impact across the world, but it’s in Italy’s capital that you’ll find the pinnacle of their cultural and architectural influence. From the Colosseum and Roman Forum, to the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon Temple, there’s a whole host of history for solo travellers to explore.
Florence
Feast on Renaissance art and world-class food, all on the banks of the Arno River. This city is home to a host of paintings and sculptures by great artists like Botticelli and Michelangelo. The architecture is just as impressive, with medieval candle-lit chapels and fresco-decorated churches.
Puglia
The beautiful heel of Italy has managed to remain slightly off the beaten track. Dotted with white-washed fishing villages, picturesque beaches and olive groves; you’ll feel like you’ve really discovered true rural Italy here.
Milan
This modern metropolis in Northern Italy is a global hub of fashion and design. A fast-paced city that doubles as an art-lover’s dream, here you’ll find galleries galore, a plethora of art deco and rationalist architecture, as well as a vibrant music scene.
