Trieste 🇮🇹
Trieste welcomed me quietly, with some old-fashioned elegance and serenity that immediately got under my skin. What remains the most deeply etched in my memory is the view of the sea - spacious, calm and powerful. Watching the sunset from Trieste is ...
It is a beautiful church with many beautiful details inside and in the facade. I visited early when there were no other tourists, I think this also contributed to the experience. It was silent and spiritual.

While walking through Trieste, one place in particular captivated me – Ponte Rosso. This small bridge over the Grand Canal is not just a passage from one side to the other, but a place with a soul. As soon as I stepped on it, I felt a sense of peace,...

Rome 🇮🇹
Rome enveloped me like a warm story – a city where history is not just something that stands behind the glass of a museum, but something that breathes, walks, talks with every step. Everywhere you look, a miracle awaits you: the Colosseum, the Panthe...
No description to say the feeling that is being and witnessing live and in color what we saw in the movies, and television. It is pulsing and vibrant the energy of the place. One of the dreams fulfilled in my life. It's too worth it.
Colosseum (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
One of the museums to visit if you are in Rome. I begin by recommending a walk in the large and well-kept park that surrounds this beautiful villa. Inside you will find incredible sculptures, paintings, mosaics and other works not to be missed. To vi...
Borghese Gallery (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Trevi Fountain is hands-down the most beautiful fountain I’ve ever seen. I went both during the day and at night, and trust me — go at night! The lights make it look magical and less crowded. Tossed a coin for good luck and soaked in the vibe. Just b...

So amazing to see this amazing building knowing how old it is. Very impressive. Really crowed with people everywhere. So many places to eat as well.
Pantheon (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
This monument is absolutely incredible in size and beauty! It’s definitely worth a visit. When I was there, there was a lot of construction in the vicinity and views of the monument were obstructed from a view angles.

Vatican 🇮🇹
Entering the Vatican seems like entering another world - everything becomes quieter, deeper, slower. Although you are surrounded by people, there is a feeling of inner peace, as if the place has its own light that quietly illuminates everything you s...
Art. Art. Art. And more art. Literally, everywhere you look, there is art all over the Vatican. Incredible place to visit, though I cannot urge you enough to book/reserve your ticket in ADVANCE. A lot of advice I’d read about visiting the Vatican sai...

Florence 🇮🇹
Florence didn't grab me right away - she does it slowly, gently, with style. As you walk through its streets, everything looks like art: the buildings, the bridges, even the light. And then, without warning, you stand in front of the Duomo and just –...
The view from the bell tower is simply spectacular. Unfortunately I could not go to the Cathedral, but only the Bell Tower was worth it. The only problem with the Bell Tower is the stairs, but otherwise I thought it was incredible.
2025 Florence panoramic view Giotto's Bell Tower and Cathedral Ticket - with Reviews
Another beautiful, elaborate cathedral in Florence! This houses the tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo and a tribute statue to Florences famous poet Dante. It's a must-see and pay the few euros for the audio. It helps to understand the what, why, and ...

Venice 🇮🇹
Venice welcomed me like from a fairy tale - quiet, mysterious and completely its own. As soon as I set foot on its narrow streets and crossed the first bridge, I knew I was in a special place. Here, time does not flow like elsewhere - it slides, quie...
This was a perfect location to take beautiful memorable photos. The best time is right after sunrise and before the crowds. Definitely make an effort to take in the sights and sounds.

The Rialto is an iconic landmark worth seeing. I recommend going before it gets busy to truly enjoy window shopping without the crowds. It's definitely draws a lot of tourists, so expect congestion while walking through.
Ponte di Rialto (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Beautiful church in the heart of Venice. It is worth the ticket price, very low in itself and even more so for students. Inside it houses wonderful works, including the recently restored Byzantine Madonna of Peace.
Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, Venice
Siena 🇮🇹
The city seems to have grown out of the ground, all terra cotta, curved alleys and unusual but beautiful lines. As I walked towards Piazza del Campo, I had the impression that I was part of something authentic - not only beautiful, but also real. The...
This place is really beautiful with rooms all different and richly decorated from the history of Italy. It is much less frequented than other places in Siena which allows to look quietly.
Palazzo Pubblico E Museo Civico, Siena
A beautiful square to see for its history and also because it is simply ... beautiful. A walk while visiting Siena is a must.
Piazza del Campo (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Difficult to describe its beauty, majestic and imposing overlooks the whole square. Facade in Romanesque-Gothic style, interiors of a beauty to leave you breathless, the ceiling is a starry sky 🌟
Duomo di Siena
Hotels 🇮🇹
Both hotels, Hotel Delle Rose in Lido di Jesolo and Hotel Villa Rita in Montecatini Terme, were perfect choices for my holiday. Hotel Delle Rose is excellent for its location near the sea, private beach and swimming pool, making it ideal for relaxing...
The kindness of the staff and the breakfast which was really super.
Hotel Delle Rose - Jesolo
I always recommend the room that has a window so that in the morning you can get up and look at the landscape.
