With Tuscan vineyards, gorgeous canals, priceless art, uncanny architecture and a riveting history; it's no wonder that the amount of US visitors to Italy has doubled in the past 10 years. We've laid out the must-sees in Italy with handy tools to learn the best sights, hotels and suggestions for an Italian getaway.
1. Rome
Wander where gladiators strode on conquests and the delicious aroma of Italian pasta is never too far. Rome, known as the 'Eternal City', invites you to step back to a past that is still very much alive. Toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain or walk the Spanish Steps.
The birthplace of the Renaissance, is a romantic town with a glorious history of innovative artists and scientists. Admire the masterpieces in the Accademia or Uffizi Gallery, then taste espresso in a cafe under the Duomo.
Arthur Symons said; "A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him." A truly fascinating city, Venice sits upon several islands connected by bridges and boat. Head to St. Mark's Square or take a gondola under the Rialto Bridge.
