The Top Five Cities Of Italy

Italy is one of those vacation destinations that is part of every traveler’s dream bucket list. But it almost always remains unchecked for a long time. The main reason for this is definitely the costs associated with visiting this country. Without dispute Italy is an ideal tourist spot with gorgeous beaches, stunning lakes, exquisite religious sites, unique architecture and scrumptious food but it is just a tad bit expensive for foreigners.  

An airline ticket to Italy is the single biggest expense followed by hotel stay. So yes, it is imperative that you plan everything. Buy miles account and start to earn miles through different means ahead of time. Later these miles can be redeemed on the airline ticket. The second option is to wait for an online deal to show up. This option of course is unreliable since you never know when a good deal will be offered. Sadly there is no third option. Once you are past the ticket purchasing stage, you need to shortlist the cities worth a visit. This article will come in handy at this point. Mentioned below is a list of the top cities that all tourists love in Italy.

Venice

With a small population of only 260000, this unique city is made of small islands that are separated by canals. Its uniqueness is partly one reason why it is one of the most visited cities across Italy.

Main attractions in Venice are Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco, Lido di Venezia, Scuola 

Grande di San Rocco and Bridge of Sighs.
