]]>Start in Milan
As Milan is one of the northernmost cities in Italy and is the home to an international airport, it makes sense to plan it as your starting point. Spend a day or two in the city and check out the Duomo di Milano Cathedral and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for some of the world’s best shopping.
Stop in Verona
Most known as the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a quaint and picturesque town just over an hour from Milan by train. The city is home to a 1st-century Roman Amphitheater where events are still often hosted. A statue of Juliet located outside what is rumored to have been her family’s house is also worth a visit. Touching it is believed to bring the visitor luck!
Head to Venice
One hour from Verona by train, Venice is a port city on Italy’s eastern coast. While it is full of unique shops and restaurants, Venice isn’t very big and can definitely be explored and enjoyed for much of what it has to offer in one or two days. Be sure to check out some of the blown glass shops, which the city is known for.
End in Florence
Wrap up your trip with a few days in Florence, the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region. From here you can take daily tours of local vineyards in the countryside, or if you prefer to stay in the city, be sure to visit the Duomo or some of the many art galleries.

]]>Naples is a city to which you should dedicate at least 4 days of your vacation to immerse yourself fully in the experience. You can spend a day in Amalfi coast or even visit the neighboring cities.
Naples is famous for its culture and museums, but they also make amazing red wine. Here’s a list of a few places to check out with your best pals.
Cantina del Vesuvio Russo Family Winery
This place has one of the best wines in the world according to the rave reviews. Perfect location and the locals sell the wine for a great price. They even have gluten-free and vegetarian options for the drinks, so they’re quite inclusive to all diet restrictions.
Taurasi Wine
Even though Taurasi isn’t originally from Naples, this red wine deserves more credit. It’s located in the vineyards of the Apennine hills of Avellino and has a strong savoury taste. Perfectly paired with red meat.
Il Mantegno Vineria
This Vineria is perfect because it not only houses great wine, but they also have delectable treats. Pair your red or white wine with a chocolate cake or perhaps a ricotta cheese dessert. You’ll definitely ask for seconds.

#UK Content Creator (@sharonyws)The Lago di Como is a glacial lake with a distinctive y-shape. Located on all three arms of this idyllic lake are small towns and villages that give visitors a look at a slowed-down, relaxed version of Italian life.
It’s no wonder that celebrities such as George Clooney and Madonna own homes on the shore of Lago di Como.
Even if you aren’t one of the rich and famous, it’s still possible to enjoy Lago di Como. A short train ride away from Milan, ordinary visitors to Lago di Como can travel by boat on the serene and crystal-clear waters of the lake, visiting towns and villages and marveling at the beauty of the lake and the surrounding Alps.
One of my favorite towns on the shore of Lago di Como is definitely Bellagio. The town that lends its name to one of Las Vegas’s most famous casinos is pristine, clean, and has old cobbled streets with small shops and beautiful villas that you’ll never get tired of exploring.
Lago di Como must be on the top of your list on the next trip you take to Italy. It’s the closest thing to paradise on Earth.
