I already told you in my article on what to see in Italy in 30 days, many of these places, but this time I will focus on the most interesting regions. So, you will not necessarily have to make a long route, but I give you the option to make short trips to its different regions.
It’s close, it’s spectacular and you’ll be able to see it better than ever, without the hordes of tourists that usually make it more difficult to visit. While they still keep the borders closed with other non-EU countries, it is the best way to get close and see the best places to visit in Italy.
Beyond the must-sees like St. Mark’s Basilica or the Rialto Bridge, I recommend you to wander around Venice. Moving away from this area, where there are always people, you will find other equally beautiful, full of bridges, canals and historic buildings, but completely empty.
Emilia Romagna unjustly goes unnoticed as it is located between Veneto and Tuscany, two of the most touristic regions in Italy. However, it is another truly amazing region for a getaway.
