Milano Sculptures
Sculptures embellish many buildings in the streets of Milan.
|
Milan Duomo
The city's best known landmark, the Duomo is a must-see on a visit to Milan.
|
Colosseum
Once the place of brutal games, now the icon of Rome, the Colosseum is a must, but also means a chilling experience.
|
Pigna
Rome is probably the richest city in the world when it comes to sights and museums, and it can be difficult to decide where to go. Just walking around in the Pigna district is one attractive option.
|
Santa Sabina
You can enjoy a superb view over Rome, visit the basilica or relax under the orange trees.
|
Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II
Elegant as you may expect in Italy, this Gallery is not just an ordinary shopping mall.

San Paolo fuori le Mura
The second largest basilica in Rome, the San Paolo has been constructed at the site of the tomb of St. Paul.
|
Trastevere
Perhaps not one of the major sights of Rome, Trastevere is a lively neighbourhood which deserves exploration.
|
San Marco
If Venice is a top tourist attraction, San Marco is the top attraction within Venice. Like Venice itself, San Marco is vulnerable to rising waters regularly covering its square.
|
Florence Cathedral
The true heart of Florence, it is inevitable not to pass by this colourful landmark and sign of Florence's cultural supremacy in 14th and 15th century Italy.
|
Pantheon
One of the most impressive Roman buildings still standing, the Pantheon now finds itself in the middle of bustling Rome.
|
Pompei and Herculaneum
All around the Meditterranean, you can find Roman ruins. Only those near the Vesuvius volcano can give you a real insight in the daily life of Romans.
|
Naples Streets
Naples is a city full of life, full of sights, full of all kinds of surprises. The city is full with churches and chaos, narrow alleys and naughty inhabitants.
|
Santa Chiara
In the middle of the Napolitan chaos, there is an oasis where you can be at peace and imagine being in a quiet village.
|
Reggia Caserta
On par with the palace of Versailles, Reggia Caserta boasts pompous halls inside its enormous palace and pleasant gardens outside.
|
Fountains in Rome
Rome is not only a city full of history and religion, culture and cuisine, it is also full of fountains of many sorts and sizes

Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre area offers spectacular cliffs with villages perched on top, great views of bays. Moreover, there are a lot of walks to be done, taking you through vineyards and colourful villages.
|
Villa Adriana
Emperor Hadrian built a large complex of temples, palaces, hippodrome, libraries, theatres and baths outside Rome, as a retreat from the eternal city.
|
Abruzzo Landscape
Between Rome and the Adriatic Sea lies a beautiful mountainous area called the Abruzzo. Rough mountains and secluded valleys are perfect destinations for avid nature lovers.
|
Canal Grande
It is the main artery of Venice, and snakes its way like a huge S through the city: the Canal Grande, the Main Street of this unique city.
|
Torcello
When looking for an escape of Venice's crowds, Torcello is an interesting option: a quiet island, a cathedral with some amazing frescoes and mosaics, and great views of the archipelago.
|
San Michele Cemetery
If you wonder where Venetians bury their dead, head to San Michele cemetery, an island exclusively dedicated to graves and tombstones, and a beautiful, graceful place to visit or be buried.
|
Castello Sforzesco
An unmistakeable landmark of Milan, the Castello Sforzesco is not only a monument of medieval Milan, but also houses a collection of art.
|
Forum Romanum
Once the centre of Rome and the Roman Empire, the Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) is now a vast collection of ruins testimony to the history of this Eternal City.
|
San Giorgio Maggiore
One of the many islands of Venice, San Giorgio is small, and dominated by the San Giorgio Maggiore church, famous example of Palladio renaissance architecture.
|
Monumental Cemetery
More than a cemetery, the Cimitero Monumentale in Milan is an enormous area with displays of art and love for the deceased.
|
Giudecca
An island of itself, Giudecca lies to the south of Venice and has much of a quiet suburb feel. Not only nice as an escape from the madness of Venice, but also a place with great views of Venice.
|
Venetian canals
One of the most appealing destinations for any traveler, Venice is also a unique city in many respects. With some effort, it is still possible to find quiet corners in this tourist mecca.
|
Castello
It is still possible to find quiet spots in Venice: Castello is a colourful neighbourhood with plenty of areas to explore and come back to, yet close to the better known sites of the city.
|
Cannaregio
With the Ghetto, the Madonna dell'Orto church, and some picturesque canals, Cannaregio has plenty of things to see and keep you busy for the better part of the day.
|
Murano
A short hop by boat from Venice, Murano is more than an important place for glass making: a 12th century Byzantine church, quiet canals and corners, and - if you're lucky - the yearly regatta.
|
San Polo
While most people speed through San Polo to reach the famous sights of the city, this sestiere certainly deserves more attention than it gets.
|
Baths of Caracalla
Once the largest baths in the world, lavishly decorated and providing the ultimate bathing luxury for its visitors, the Baths of Caracalla have long since turned into ruins.
|
Piazza del Popolo
Once a grand entrance to Rome, the Piazza del Popolo still is a majestic square with an Egyptian obelisk, lush fountains, and no less than three churches on its sides.
|
Monte Rosa skiing
At the end of a snow-rich winter, going to the Monte Rosa ski area turned out to be a good idea: lots of snow, nice sunny weather, and great Italian food.
