3 Beautiful Places To Visit In Italy For The First Time

You can never run out of places to visit in Italy. The country is blessed with beautiful architecture, history, good food and great wine! I travelled from Naples to the Lake District of Northern Italy with my husband and friends.

We had an absolutely fabulous time exploring the country. So let me share with you the best places in Italy been during this trip that is perfect for first-time visitors.

1.Sorrento

Located in the southern part of Italy, Sorrento is a charming coastal town in the Campania region. Sorrento is a very handy and reasonable place to stay when you want to explore the area with multiple convenient access to some of the most beautiful places in Italy.

You can find orange trees dotted around the streets of Sorrento. The Sorrentine lemons are the primary producers of the area. They are huge compared to the regular fist-sized lemons. So if you manage to try a tasty Italian lemonade, it’s most probably produced in Sorrento.

I’m sure you will also fall in love with the beauty of the area, check out the view of the Bay of Naples at sunset from the Marina.

2 . Pompeii

The inspiration to the Pompeii movie of Kit Harrington. Yes! I love him and his gorgeous abs in the film! Ok, back to the topic.

Pompeii is a 2000-year-old city ruin resting at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. It is as if walking back to ancient Roman times,

Pompeii is a glimpse of what it was like 2000 years ago before the wrath of Mt. Vesuvius ruined its former glory and life.

Not far from Pompeii is another popular place to visit in Italy, Herculaneum. A less busy town compared to the bustling

city of Pompeii back in Roman times. Herculaneum was also engulfed by the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius.

3 . Florence

Arts and Wine lovers, anyone? From the fertile land of Tuscany come the vineyards and olive groves. Seated at the heart of

the Tuscan region, Florence captures the heart and tastes of many. Florence was a sweet surprise.

The charming cobbled streets, towering statues in the various piazza and the jaw-dropping skyline of Florence from

Piazza San Michael are just a few of the highlights of one of the best places to visit in Italy.

It’s a little bit out of the main town centre, but it’s worth climbing the hundreds of steps toward the top of the hill to get to where the Piazzale is located. Here are some other suggestions on what you can do in Florence.
