Perhaps Italy can rightfully be considered the "mother" of all European culture, because the Roman Empire was previously located on its lands. Since then, many cities in Italy have kept on their streets and squares the ruins of that ancient world that once reigned here. Time passed, and new buildings were not long in coming. Monuments of the Medieval era appear on the streets of this warm country, and then pompous palaces and baroque estates are built. For many centuries, the cities of Italy seemed to have collected all these incredible architectural monuments on their territory, and today everyone can come here to see them with their own eyes.
Our tour we will start, perhaps, from the north of the country, and the first city will be Verona. Being not yet in a tropical, but in a temperate climate, far from the sea, this city is interesting both in summer and in winter. In the cold season, the temperature here is below zero, and even snow falls. It is actually very fabulous to see a typical Italian landscape under a small layer of white snowflakes. Like all cities in Italy,Verona combines the spirit of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The ancient Colosseum, ancient rich cathedrals and chic palaces are perfectly preserved here. It is worth noting that Verona is one of the most romantic corners of the planet, because it was here that Romeo and Juliet, once fictional by Shakespeare, lived.
Unique and incredibly beautiful is the city on the water - Venice. Perhaps everyone knows perfectly well that instead of streets, countless river channels flow here, along which locals and tourists move in gondola boats. There are no noisy highways and avenues, there are no buses or any other public transport. As mentioned above, the cities of Italy are famous for their unearthly palaces, and it is Venice that surpasses all of them in this beauty. Many tourists who have been here consider this paradise on the water the most beautiful corner of the planet.
Undoubtedly, you should definitely see the capital of this sunny country. Rome is the center of concentration of centuries-old history, architecture and various monuments. It is considered one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, as well as the center of European culture and religion. It is important that the central part of the city, which was built in the era of the Roman Empire, occupies a small area. It is adjoined by Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals, and they are followed by palaces, which were built for themselves by we althy feudal lords and clergy. A large area is occupied by the new part of the city, which, by the way, is also very interesting and beautiful. It is worth noting that the capital is very different in both architecture and culture, so it is not too similar to all other cities in Italy.
The list of these wonderful and warm places can be continued for a very long time, and it will not be possible to completely list all the sights. In Italy there are many resort places where the sea and sand, as they say, are like in paradise, and the sun warms almost all year round. It is only important to say that a trip to this country will bring pleasure even to the most demanding tourist. And in order not to get lost, you will need a detailed map of Italy with cities and routes, which will minimize the time spent on the road and the effort.
