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.
