Things to see and do

Some of the most beautiful places in Italy can be found in the cities. With sprawling piazzas, bustling markets, ancient churches, renaissance palaces and botanical gardens to explore, you'll find plenty to keep you entertained.

Florence: Get up close to the masterpieces of the Renaissance. There’s good reason for art lovers to flock to Florence, with its stunning medieval centre, paintings, frescoes and statues by some of the greatest artists of all time, like Raphael, Titian and Michelangelo will be right on your doorstep.
Milan: Italy’s most stylish city has some of the best shopping in the world – head to the quadrilatero della moda (fashion quad) for the city's top boutiques. It’s also considered the home of aperitivo, the cultural ritual of pre-dinner drinks and appetizers, and the Milanese do it well – join them from 6pm onwards for a spritz!
Rome: The capital city packs a punch, especially for the history buffs out there. It’s an open-air museum with hundreds of historic sights – from the Roman Forum and the Colosseum to the Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel.
Venice: Zip up and down the Venetian waterways on vaporetti, gondola or water taxis. It’s one of the best ways to explore the floating city. See the main attractions like Piazza San Marco and the Golden Basillica, but make sure you stroll through the side streets for the hidden gems.
Verona: The city's Roman amphitheatre, the Verona Arena, is beautifully well preserved. Head here in the summer when it hosts the world-famous opera.
