stopover @ Italy for a stunning and cultural holiday
1 Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, The Last Supper, is one of the top attractions in Milan, yet many return home without seeing it because they don’t get their tickets in advance. Make note.
2 Irrespective of your love or understanding of the Opera, a visit to the Arena di Verona is a must. This Roman amphitheatre was built in the first century and now hosts internationally famous large-scale opera shows. 3 Even 2,000 years after it was built, The Colosseum is the most recognisable of Rome’s classical buildings. It was the first permanent amphitheatre to be raised in Rome. 4 A great example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is your chance to witness coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of picturesque towns and lush forests. 5 The Canal Grande snakes through the city of Venice in a large S shape, travelling from the Saint Mark Basin on one end to a lagoon near the Santa Lucia rail station on the other. 6 The Piazzale Michelangelo is a large square in Florence. It is extremely popular as it offers majestic views over the city.
