9 Highlights

The Colosseum in Rome, the world’s largest ancient amphitheater, remains Italy’s most iconic monument, where gladiators once fought before crowds of 50,000 spectators
The Vatican City, home to St. Peter’s Basilica, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, and the Vatican Museums, is the spiritual heart of Catholicism and an unparalleled art treasury
The Venice Grand Canal, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto and Accademia bridges, is best experienced by vaporetto or gondola as it winds through the city’s magical lagoon setting
The Florence Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore), with Brunelleschi’s massive red-tiled dome towering over Renaissance Florence, dominates the skyline and dazzles inside with frescoes of the Last Judgment
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the famously tilted bell tower beside the cathedral and baptistery, continues to amaze visitors as one of Europe’s most photographed landmarks
The Pompeii ruins, buried under volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, reveal Roman houses, frescoes, baths, and streets frozen in time
The Amalfi Coast, a dramatic stretch of cliffs and pastel-colored villages like Positano and Amalfi, offers one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives
The Cinque Terre, five cliffside fishing villages connected by hiking trails, captivate with brightly painted houses, terraced vineyards, and views of the Ligurian Sea
The Lake Como region, surrounded by alpine peaks and dotted with elegant villas and gardens, has inspired poets, artists, and travelers with its serene beauty for centuries
