While everyone wants to visit the Colosseum (and they should!), Italy has so many other breathtaking places to explore.

From coastal paradises to historic waterways, these must-visit places in Italy will show you a side of the country that many tourists never see.
What to Visit in Italy: Cinque Terre and the Hidden Gems Along the Coast
The Cinque Terre is a beautiful collection of five Italian coastal villages. Situated in the Italian Rivieria, in Liguria, Italy, this lovely part of the country is certainly high up on our ‘must see’ list. If you’d like to see this part of Italy for yourself, consider one of the many tours of the Cinque Terre.
Each village is famous for colourful buildings, steep terraced gardens, and seafood specialities. The five villages of the Cinque Terre are connected by a rugged hiking trail, known as the Sentiero Azzurro, and you can enjoy sublime views of the Italian coastline whilst travelling between the villages.
Want to explore these five magical villages at your own pace? Our Private Cinque Terre Tour from Florence lets you discover hidden spots and local secrets that most tourists miss, with a knowledgeable guide who knows every charming corner of these coastal gems.
Must-See Places to Visit in Italy: Venice's Historic Bridge of Mystery
One of our favourite cities to visit in Italy is Venice, and our most loved sight to see in Venice is the Bridge of Sighs. This ancient bridge, known as a place of sadness, and love, too, spans the Rio di Palazzo. Built with limestone and designed in the style of Italian Renaissance architecture, the Bridge of Sighs is a truly lovely Venetian landmark. When visiting Venice make sure to take a private gondola ride of Venice – there’s no better way to see the sights than aboard a gondola floating on a Venetian canal. Experience the true magic of Venice with our Venice in a Day Tour, where you'll not only see the Bridge of Sighs but also discover the secret stories and hidden passages that make Venice truly unique.
