What is the first thing that comes to mind when considering a trip to Italy? Of course, this is Rome, Venice, Milan, or Florence. All these places are beautiful, but they are overcrowded with tourists at any time of the year.
Prices for holidays there are also exceptionally high. If you want to know the real Italy, or have already visited the most popular destinations, choose destinations from our list! And believe me. They can amaze even the most sophisticated tourist.
The city of Bergamo is located in Lombardy, and it is he who is the pearl of the region (not Milan at all, as you might think). This is the most romantic city in Italy, a walled city filled with ancient palaces and narrow cobbled streets.
You can walk around the square past the new and old town hall, see Rocca Castle, the citadel and many old churches. And be sure to visit the local coffee shops - the coffee in them is excellent!
If you visit Bergamo as a tourist, staying in the Upper Town is better. It is more beautiful and colorful, and it is there that the main attractions are collected. The Lower City has a better-developed infrastructure and transport system.
Sanremo is a city for a comfortable beach holiday. There are sand and pebble beaches, clear water, and sun all year round. The main attraction of San Remo is the old quarter of La Pina. This is a natural part of the Middle Ages in southern Italy. You can wander through the ancient streets and go to Palace Street to the San Siro Cathedral, built in the 13th century.
Do you like not only a beach holiday but also gambling? Then be sure to visit the Sanremo Casino on Corso degli Inglesi. It just looks luxurious! And if a trip to the casino is not planned, but you want to feel like a guest of such a place, try playing online poker real money.
On the beaches of San Remo, luxury hotels coexist with modest 2-star hotels. The choice of accommodation for tourists is extensive.
Guests especially note such places:
Turin is sure to appeal to lovers of beautiful architecture and history. The baroque city offers the Royal Palace, the Picture Gallery, Valentine's Castle, the Superga Basilica, and dozens of unique museums. This city has an incredible atmosphere of real Italy, and there are fewer tourists here than in Rome or Florence.
To see most of the sights, you should stay in the center of Turin, in the Centro Storico area. It belongs to safe places for tourists (in general, Turin is considered an unsafe city, and this must be taken into account). And for lovers of a luxurious holiday, we recommend the Crocetta area - where you will find the most fashionable boutiques, restaurants, the best bars, and modern galleries.
A small town on the northwestern shore of Lake Garda is not known to many. Here you will find huge rocks that hang over the lake, the vast Limone greenhouse, where olives and lemons grow, and the most beautiful Palazzo Gepardi, Palazzo Finanza, and the Church of San Rocco. You can take a boat ride on the lake and walk around other towns. Lemons grow everywhere in the city!
Despite its compact size, Limone sul Garda has dozens of offers for vacationers.
Camogli is a fabulous but little-known town located close to the famous Portofino. But compared to its neighbor, this resort has retained Italy's authentic atmosphere and charm. There are magnificent beaches, picturesque views of the sea and rocks, beautiful architecture and many places for walking. By the way, we recommend having dinner at La Camogliese restaurant. Tourists claim that here is the most delicious local cuisine.
In Camogli, you can find inexpensive accommodation options. For example, Al Piccolo Scoglio - Room & Breakfast or La Casa Di Alessia. There is no need to choose an area when planning a holiday in Camogli - this is a small town where the center and the best beaches will be close anyway. There are 152 hotels in the city, most of which do not have stars. Find an option to your liking and enjoy the natural beach atmosphere in Italy!
