35 Most Beautiful Places in Italy
This post contains affiliate links
I am getting ready for my trip to Italy and you have no idea how excited I am. Unfortunately my trip will be short and I will visit Milan, Genoa, Portofino and Rapallo only this time. I will try to make the most of my day trips to these amazing places. The good thing is that they are all small so I can walk all day long and I will probably manage to cover the most of it. I will make a list of priorities before I leave for sure.
For that reason I thought it would be a great idea to day dream a bit and check some of the most beautiful places in Italy. This turned out to be a difficult task since Italy is a land that has a lot to offer so finding only 35 took me some time.
Dolomites
Vernazza
Matera
Capri
Verona
Colosseum, Rome
Venice
Ponte Rialto
Amalfi Coast
Portovenere
Manarola
Procida
Puglia
Alberobello
Tropea, Calabria
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan
Lake Garda
Lake Misurinat
Positano
Pisa
Sauris Lake
Sicily
Trevi Fountain, Rome
Lago di Garda
Tuscany
Lake Como
Gargano
Cala Gonone
Sorrento
The Alps
Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence
San Galgano, Tuscany
Saint Angelos Bridge
Frasassi Cave
The Vatican
Where to stay in Italy
If you are planning a trip to one of these beautiful places you can check availability on Booking.com since this is the best and the most reliable website that I always use for finding accommodation.
Booking.com
Another great option is to rent a place through Airbnb. You can find great rooms and apartments since there are a lot of great options. You can use this code to get $27 free AirBnb credit.

Have you been to Italy before? What do you think of these places? Would you add anything else to this list?

September 25, 2017 at 2:22 pmI would have had a hard time finding only 35 beautiful places too 😉 You are going to love Italy Elena. The people are vibrant and passionate and friendly, the food is to die for and the rich culture and history is beyond compare.

September 25, 2017 at 2:32 pmOOoooooh One ticket to Italy Please.(Jake Peralata Stylez saying). May I say these are really good. But how can I cover Italy even with 2 days? But yes they all look awesome. If I ever got a girlfriend, will she like all of those? Cos I liked it especially Capri, I wanted to go there.

September 25, 2017 at 4:49 pmI am actually going to Italy at the end of the week and I am planning on discovering many beautiful villages from Tuscany. I will definitely go to Cinque Terre as well and visit Vernazza.

September 25, 2017 at 4:57 pmThe only Italian place I have been to is Venice and it was quite lovely. I would like to go to Rome though and some of the places you have chosen are beautiful. We often use AirBnB but have stopped using booking.com due to being booked into hotels a couple of times and getting there and finding there was no room.

September 25, 2017 at 6:01 pmI’d love to visit Italy one day! Just for the food if nothing else haha. I never knew many of those places existed! There’s such a beautiful mix of historical architecture and nature. In my mind Italy has always been more of an urban/historic vacation spot and I didn’t know there were so many mountains or even such a gorgeous cave!

September 25, 2017 at 7:27 pmAll of these places look stunning. I hope to make it to Italy some day. I won’t lie, I’m mostly excited to pig out on the food!

September 25, 2017 at 7:28 pmItaly is so stunning – I’ve visited Rome, Florence, Venice, Sorrento and Sirmione on Lake Garda. I also did a day trip to Lake Iseo and I’ve got to say it’s just as stunning! Gorgeous places! Enjoy your upcoming trip!

September 25, 2017 at 8:18 pmfirst off, Bravo on the photos, they are absolutely stunning! I have always wanted to go to Italy… It’s actually not too far from my birth place, Nimes France. I can’t wait to be able to travel more, I’ll stop in France then Italy, and of course Greece and Spain (let’s just say the whole dang Europe continent!)

September 26, 2017 at 9:20 amNever been to Italy but my did did and she said she always wanted to take me there. Then life happened.
Cynthia
September 26, 2017 at 9:55 amThey all look magnificent, but if I have to choose, I’ll pick Dolomites, Matera and Lake Como, especially this last one, looks like a fairytale! I’ve never been really interested in Italy as all the show is the Vatican and such, and that is not really interesting to me, but I see there is more to Italy than one might think!
Dada
September 26, 2017 at 10:26 amEvery place on that list is beautiful! I have been doing some interrailing twice in Italy but as you know it is never enought time to explore the beautiful Italy! I wish you a great trip in Italy and looking forward to read your italy posts!
Ana Ro
September 26, 2017 at 10:49 amFantastic photography! Makes me wanna go everywhere. And it’s just so hard to say which places I like best in Italy. Both North and South are equally (though so differently) beautiful.

September 26, 2017 at 12:18 pmJust stunning! I visited Rome as a high schooler and I’m dying to take my family back to all of these different, beautiful places in Italy to experience together.

September 26, 2017 at 1:06 pmI’ve been to Italy once before and spent a lot of time in Rome. I’d love to go back to visit all the rest of these though, particularly the Amalfi Coast!
Jen Temcio
September 26, 2017 at 1:26 pmPonte Rioalto and Procida is what I fist think of when I hear the word Venice. The the vatican of course, but my goodness there is beauty everywhere! I am dying to go there and just walk everywhere I can.

October 4, 2017 at 2:30 pmMy gosh, who even knew there were so many beautiful places in Italy?! I have only been to the country once (with time spent in Pisa, Rome and Siena), so I’d love to go back and see more – especially some of the lesser known places you mentioned here x
