Arguably the most attractive country in Europe, Italy enchants visitors with irresistible food, incredible architecture, diverse landscapes and unparalleled art.<\/p>\n
In fact, it's so full of possibilities that it's almost overwhelming.<\/p>\n
If you've never visited before, you may wonder what to see? Where to go? How to travel?<\/p>\n
Here's everything you need to know to make the most of your first trip to Italy<\/p>\n
Florence and Tuscany: art and wine<\/p>\n
Two days in Florence, you'll choose the incomparable art in the Uffizi Gallery, delighting in the frescoes of the Duomo and pondering the anatomy of Michelangelo's David.<\/p>\n
It also allows for shopping in the ultra-elegant Via de \u2018Tornabuoni and an aperitif (pre-dinner drink) or two in the locals' favorite Piazza della Signoria.<\/p>\n
Enter one of Chianti's idyllic country houses and spend some time exploring the land.<\/p>\n
Where trellises of vines wind along hillsides with Romanesque churches sheltered in their folds.<\/p>\n
Wineries are everywhere. At the extraordinary Antinori, for example, the high quality of the wine is matched by high-tech architectural innovation.<\/p>\n
A day trip to magnificent Gothic Siena sees you marveling at Italy's ability to transform buildings into art.<\/p>\n
To enjoy a unique and totally exquisite Venice, wait a few days.<\/p>\n
Glide along the Grand Canal by gondola or vaporetto (water bus) and visit the grand Palazzo Ducale.<\/p>\n
Stroll through the Basilica of San Marco, full of treasures, and run out of room for the cameras, taking in the extraordinary variety of Venetian architecture.<\/p>\n
There will also be time to join the locals shopping at the Rialto market.<\/p>\n
Eat cicheti (Venetian tapas) and get lost among the 400 bridges and 150 canals.<\/p>\n
Sandy and not always beautiful, Naples certainly demands to be seen.<\/p>\n
Come here for an anarchic enthusiasm for life, a historic site recognized by UNESCO.<\/p>\n
Greco-Roman artifacts at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and the Certosa Barroco Napolitana and Museo di San Martino.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, take a day trip to Pompeii for urban landscapes<\/p>\n
Which are already in ruins and to Mount Vesuvius to contemplate a living volcano and cross a wide blue bay.<\/p>\n
Style and beauty in Milan and on the lakes. For big city style and legendary landscapes, head to northwest Italy.<\/p>\n
A day in Milan also opens up a great Gothic Duomo (cathedral), Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper and world-class opera at La Scala.<\/p>\n
A short train ride away, the belle \u00e9poque Lake Maggiore is home to the seductive Borromean Islands<\/p>\n
Patches of rock crowned by ornate palaces and totally extravagant gardens.<\/p>\n
Or spend a few days on glamorous Lake Como, enjoying cocktail bars on the lake, sumptuous villas<\/p>\n
Vintage speedboat rides and the scenery of snowy mountains and blue hills all in Italy.<\/p>\n
In the Cinque Terre National Park, terraced vineyards cling to hills crossed by improbably steep trails<\/p>\n
And the villages flow into small ports full of restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n
Ferries and a rural train also run through the five villages.<\/p>\n
Allow two to four days to walk the trails, swim in the sea, soak up the atmosphere and recharge.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
