Top places to visit

1. St. Mark's Square

Known by locals as El Piazza, St. Mark’s Square is a remarkably dynamic spot. By day it is teeming with tourists taking in the splendour of St Mark’s Basilica, the impressive façade of the Doge’s Palace and all the iconic sights of central Venice. By night it takes on a softer, more romantic atmosphere as couples emerge hand in hand to enjoy the softly illuminated Venetian cityscape.

2. Verona Arena

Dominating the skyline of Verona is Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheater that is one of the largest in the world. Built in A.D. 30, the arena is one of the oldest structures in the city and a building of colossal proportions. It’s also one of Verona’s most popular attractions and draws over 500,000 visitors to the city each year. Admire its architecture and watch an opera from its historic stone steps.

With its immediately recognisable V-shaped design, stone arcades and balustrades, it is a popular spot for photographers, lovers, tourists—any and all who flock to this beautiful city.

5. Cortina d'Ampezzo Ski Resort

Cortina d'Ampezzo Ski Resort is one of Italy’s most fashionable resorts. Many visitors come to socialize rather than focus on skiing, which means you can expect the resort’s excellent runs to be surprisingly quiet. Glide down smooth slopes, admire views of stunning peaks from the chairlifts and take part in a range of other outdoor activities.
