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 whitewashed fishing villages, ‘trulli’ stone huts with distinctive conical roofs, picturesque beaches and ancient olive groves; you’ll feel like you’ve really discovered true rural Italy here.
Sorrento
Perched on a cliff overlooking the glittering Bay of Naples; Sorrento is a thing of beauty. Its streets lined with lemon and olive trees, leading to quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants serving delicious Neapolitan cuisine. As insta-worthy as they come.
