Italy's visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to city breaks. For a mix of ancient sites and cosmpolitan vibe, the capital and largest city in the country, Rome, can't be beat. Florence, meanwhile, is home to stunning Renaissance art and architecture. Glamorous Milan is tied to Italy's fashion industry, Venice is famous for its canals, and Turin is known for its stately charm. Here are some top choices for your next Italy city break.
The capital of modern-day Italy and the former Roman Empire includes a dazzling array of historic sites. Visit the nearly 2,000-year-old Roman temple, the Pantheon, or the Colosseum, which is even older. At 136m, St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is the largest church in the world. When your day of sightseeing is over, head to hip neighbourhoods like Trastavere for great dining.
As a former centre of the Renaissance cultural revival, Florence is another architectural gem. Santa Maria del Fiore, otherwise known as Florence Cathedral, is the city's main landmark, topped with one of the largest domes ever constructed. Here you can also climb Giotto's Tower for some terrific views. For one of Europe's finest collections of Renaissance sculptures and paintings, head to Galleria degli Uffizi.
Venice, known for is canal network and intriguing islands, is another Italian city filled with amazing architecture. Saint Mark's Basilica is the most famous example, but at St Mark's Square you should also climb the Bell Tower for great views. Furthermore, though weekend breaks in Venice might be associated with gondola rides, the city is also incredibly walkable.
