1) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? MILAN
First day, Milan. Arrival at Milan Malpensa airport early in the morning, rent a car, visit the city, stay in the city of Milan and then the next day we leave for the romantic city of Venice.
Attractions in Milan
The city of Milan is certainly different from what Italy’s art-cities and historic villages offer, but it is still full of wonders. Do not expect a small and cozy historic center, or ruins that remind us of times past, but a living, European city, where the majestic churches, the great castles, the historic residences and the museums mix with the shopping streets and the night life. A day in Milan will be enough to explore the center, starting with a visit to the cathedral, the most important work of Gothic architecture in Italy. ADVICE FOR WHO GOES TO ITALY FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Close to the Cathedral
Close to the cathedral, we find another important symbol of the Meneghina city, famous all over the world: the La Scala Theater – cradle of lyrical opera and classical music. After visiting the Cathedral, we head towards Piazza Domo, with the Arengario Palace (home of the beautiful Museo del Novecento) and the Royal Palace (which houses the main exhibitions of paintings in Milan) on the left. On the right, we have the porches and the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery and in front is the Sforzesco Castle. The Gallery is the ideal place for a long and pleasant walk. The gallery, all reserved for pedestrians, houses renowned stores and luxury restaurants, where we will certainly take the opportunity to have a good dinner and have a good night, since tomorrow another tour awaits us.

2) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? VENICE
Second Day, Venice. After a hearty breakfast, we will take the car to go to the Veneto region, precisely to Venice, or better stated, Venice-Mestre, where we will leave the car in the parking lot and spend the night there. Venice is the most desired destination for tourists but, unfortunately, staying in one of the luxurious hotels scattered around the alleys of the city is very expensive and sleeping in a cheap hostel is not worth it. For this, it is preferable to stay in the neighboring regions, such as Mestre – which is only ten minutes by train from the center of Venice (with trains leaving every ten minutes).
Options for visiting the city
Arriving in Venice, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, we look for the best way to visit the city. We have two options: on foot or with the vaporetto. It is better to ride a vaporetto. We will travel in a moment from the Grand Canal to San Zaccaria. During this tour, we can admire the most beautiful palaces in Venice: Ca ’d’Oro and Fondaco dei Turchi.

Attractions in Venice
Aboard the ferry, we cross the Rialto Bridge and when we get off we will see the sensational St. Mark’s Square – certainly one of the pearls of Italy, which deserves every drop of fame (next to the wonderful Basilica). The Basilica shows all its magnificence, the mixture of styles and the richness of the decorations and golden mosaics make this cathedral unique in the world, together with the Doge’s Palace (Gothic-Byzantine work of art). Nearby are the wonderful Procuratorate Palaces, the Clock Tower and the imposing Belfry. Strolling through the alleys, we will take a break for dinner at one of the restaurants (not very cheap, but it will certainly be worth it) and then we will return to Mestre to end the night with a good sleep.

3) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? VERONA
Third Day, Verona. We will have breakfast and depart for the city of Shakespeare: Verona, which is worth a visit (not least because it is close to Venice, so very accessible). Known worldwide as the “city of love”, along with Venice, Verona is certainly a very beautiful and charming city.
Attractions in Verona
The city’s main monument is the Verona Arena, a charming place with an ancient history. Walking around Verona means visiting the famous Juliet’s House, at the entrance of which there is a gate (a little deteriorated and destroyed, due to people’s lack of respect). The inner courtyard is lovely, and makes us relive a little of the climate of the times experienced by the young woman. We will stay in Verona one day and, since we are driving, we took the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful villages on Lake Garda the next day. After dinner, we go to sleep, because the day was tiring and we must recharge. LEARN ALL ABOUT VERONA

In the large square in front of the port (around the lake), it is possible to choose several restaurants, bars and cafeterias.

The town is quiet, full of shops selling the famous wine, with a beautiful marina, a charming church and the lake is very beautiful. Then we proceed to Peschiera del Garda.

After sunset, Bologna turns into a city full of life. Visiting Bologna without allowing yourself the sin of gluttony is almost sacrilege. The steaming tagliatelle al ragù, the lasagna bolognese and the capelete soup (especially in the coldest months of the year) are the best gastronomic postcards that the city can offer. There are countless restaurants in the center to try the succulent Bolognese recipes. After pigging out, let’s go to sleep. LEARN ALL ABOUT BOLOGNA

In a strategic position for access to information, it is the preferred vacation destination for the Bolognese elite and high society.
Moving on to the Bolognese hills, it is easy to access two places that became famous thanks to the last of the great Italian scientists and inventors: Guglielmo Marconi.

Famous for its Palio, which happens twice a year, the city offers many things to see.

Around the square, several palaces, among them the grandest is the Public Palace, with red bricks and white marble.
Not far, walking through the characteristic alleys of the city, we arrive at the Duomo, that is, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, raised by a platform with some steps, with a special facade in white marble.

Once in the capital of Liguria, we will rest for an hour and then start our tour of the city. Genoa is beautiful, the birthplace of the navigator Christopher Columbus. Petrarch defined it as “superb”, since the Genoese call it “Zena”. It is a place to be explored, full of charms, often hidden and mysterious. Whoever learns to know it will always take it in the heart.
Attractions in Genoa
Before starting our tour, I advise you to take a short break to eat a great focaccia of Genoese cheese with local spices. After that, we go to the historic city center to admire its artistic heritage.
One of the first must-see stops is certainly the Roman-Gothic Cathedral of St Lawrence. It is on the street of the same name and houses the Museum of Relics, where the Sacro Catino (“Sacred Basin”) is, which many think is the true Holy Grail. Going up the street, we arrive at the Doge’s Palace. In addition, you cannot miss the famous Aquarium of Genoa. Now it’s time for a typical dinner and a nice sleep. TIPS ON GENOA?

Thirteenth day, Cinque terre. After a hearty breakfast, we head to the spectacular Cinque Terre. Of a unique beauty, in this place the generosity and the perfection of nature and human intervention unite harmoniously. The charm of these five maritime villages: Manarola, Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare leaves its mark on even the least attentive visitor.
Attractions in Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre offers several tourist routes, forest trails and very characteristic urban routes. Among the most spectacular itineraries, the famous “Sentiero Verde Azzurro” and “La Via dell’Amore” are certainly worth mentioning. The Sentiero Verde Azzurro runs through the Riviera de Levante, from Genoa to Portovenere, while the La Via dell’Amore route goes through a boardwalk that joins Riomaggiore and Manarola and is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (along with the National Park of Cinque Terre).

14) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? ASSISI
Fourteenth day, Assisi. We will wake up early for breakfast and continue on to Umbria, where we will stay in Assisi, Cascia and Norcia. We will take the A14 highway; it will take 4h30min, so we will arrive in Assisi only at lunchtime.
Attractions in Assisi
Arriving in Assisi, we take the opportunity to have a snack and, after ‘recharging’, we go straight to the unmissable visit to the Basilica of St Francis, which is the base of the small town of Assisi. The magnificence of this construction makes this building known even to those who have never been to Assisi, with a charming climate. The second itinerary includes a walk from the Basilica of St Francis to the City Hall Square, where the Temple of Minerva is located – the ancient Roman sanctuary of the 1st century BC. This square represents the political and administrative center of Assisi.
The visit of these three places will take a long time, because there is a lot to do, so my advice is to take a break in one of the canteens in the historic center (most decorated in medieval style) and enjoy a good dinner with typical Umbrian products, such as pecorino cheese and truffle. After that, we will have a nice sleep. TIPS ON ASSISI?
15) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? CASCIA AND NORCIA

We will take the car on the A1 highway and reach Cascia in just over an hour. Cascia is in the province of Perugia, whoever goes there is, certainly, due to the devotion of St Rita.
Attractions in Cascia
Arriving in Cascia, we will soon visit the most frequented places, that are the Basilica dedicated to Saint Rita of Cascia and the Monastery where she lived – that is why the city has become a pilgrimage destination for several believers. Every year, the city receives thousands of devotees of the saint who look for signs of their life, faith and miracles in this place. Near Cascia is Roccaporena, the place where St Rita was born and raised before entering Cascia’s convent.
Here it is possible to visit the house where she lived, the garden and the place where she used to retire to pray. At this hour, after having a snack, we take the car and go to Norcia, where we will spend the night.
Attractions in Norcia
Arriving in Norcia, right after lunch, we take the opportunity to visit the main attractions of this characteristic place. The central nucleus of Norcia is in St Benedict Square, where you can admire the most famous monuments of the city, such as the sculpture dedicated to St Benedict. You cannot miss the 14th-century Public Palace, the 17th-century Tower, the Church of Santa Maria Argentea (“St Mary Silver”), the Church of St Augustine, the Church of St John, the Church of the Crucifix and the Oratory of St Augustine.
Finally, also the so-called Tempietto. It is already night and we will not miss the opportunity to try the typical products of the place, starting with black truffle, goat cheese, saffron, farro, lentil and mushroom (I also recommend the famous Nórcia ham and salami). After that delicious dinner, we go to bed. TIPS ON CASCIA?

Seventeenth day, Amalfi Coast. After a good Neapolitan breakfast, we continue our tour around Naples. We will visit Positano and the Amalfi Coast, which surprises all tourists for its particularity. Considering that we are going by car, we have all the autonomy to get around and this is important, especially when it comes to places like Positano and the Amalfi Coast.
Attractions on the Amalfi Coast
Positano is the first city on the Amalfi Coast that we see coming from the North. Following the curves of the coast (by highway 163) it is possible to go to Praiano, Amalfi, Minori, Maiori, Cetara and Vietri sul Mare. Of course, we will stop at just one of these: Amalfi. After a 1h15min journey from Naples, we arrive at Positano – the place that, like Sirenusas, shelters the islands of Galli and never tires of seducing anyone who arrives at this place.
Positano
Positano is a vertical city, completely perpendicular to the sea and, therefore, crossed by a main avenue (where cars and public means of transport pass) and the various “staircases”. True symbols of the city, they lead to the sea and the shops that sell handmade products and souvenirs – an unmissable stop that will allow us to experience the city more closely, savoring its colors and perfumes.
Among the places of greatest interest, the Saracen Towers, built in medieval times, allowing the people of Positano and the inhabitants of the entire coast to defend themselves against the invasions of the terrible Saracens. After taking a walk in all these places, we will stop for lunch and then head towards Amalfi, where we will spend the night. LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT AMALFI COAST CITIES
18) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? AMALFI
Eighteenth day, Amalfi. After having breakfast, we will go out to visit Amalfi. The Amalfi Coast is full of characteristic small villages and towns that are worth visiting and admiring. Amalfi is the best known of them all. Without a doubt, a pearl of the Amalfi Coast, a small town that attracts thousands of visitors every year, precisely for its charm, the high society that frequents it, its culture and the beauty of the landscapes. Located in the splendid Gulf of Naples, it is certainly worth a visit, even if only for a day. Being very small, we will be able to walk around the entire city in a short time.
Attractions in Amalfi
We will start our tour of the historic center, with its lively and colorful Piazza Duomo (“Cathedral Square”). Also in this square is the wonderful Cathedral, which faces the sea. Thus, we will visit the majestic basilica, which, with its long staircase and its Arab-Sicilian style, only tends to enchant us. On the left side of the porch, we enter the beautiful Monastery of Paradise, all decorated in oriental style, with arches and columns.
Special attention to the city’s perfume
Here it is possible to enjoy, in addition to the beauty of the monuments, also a surreal sense of peace. After the visit of the cathedral, we entered the city streets, where the perfume of lemons invades our nostrils. With a lot of calm and tranquility, we will walk to Piazza del Municipio (“Municipality Square”), where the City Hall is located, a building from the 16th century, which was once a Monastery. Now it is time to take a break at one of the restaurants in the region and enjoy a delicious dinner based on fish and seafood, as well as a good night’s sleep.

Nineteenth day, Rome. We are almost at the end of our tour. We will leave Amalfi, head to Rome, and end the tour of Italy in great style. After having breakfast, we will take the car to the eternal city, where we will stay until tomorrow night. To reach Rome from Amalfi, we will take 3h30min. Arriving in Rome, we will leave the luggage and the car and run to the city.
Attractions in Rome
Rome is one of those cities that we must visit at least once in our lives. There are some things that we cannot miss, and that is what we are going to do – even if in one day and a half we visit a few things, we will consider it as a taste and then delve into another trip to the capital. The first thing to see is one of the symbols of Rome: the Colosseum – it is the most famous amphitheater in history, of which only part remains, but it is still incredible. Another building that is worth seeing is the Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous fountains in the world (and the protagonist of so many films).
Regarding religious buildings, you cannot miss the Pantheon (the temple dedicated to all gods). That’s it for today, let’s have dinner in one of the typical restaurants in Rome and go to sleep, tomorrow will be the last day of our tour.

20) What to see in Italy in twenty days with a car? ROME
Twentieth day, Rome: This is our last day and we will dedicate it entirely to Rome, until the night (when we go to the airport to return the car and return to reality – but certainly in a different mood). We will have breakfast and we will soon see other must-see things in Rome.
Attractions in Rome
We will start the morning with St. Peter’s Basilica, the majestic and extraordinary cathedral, with its beautiful square. It is good to remember that the visit to the interior of the church demands waiting hours in a huge line, and our time does not allow it. Since we are in the vicinity, the Sant’Angelo Castle is worth a visit. Another church worth seeing in Rome is the church of St. John Lateran, along with that of Santa Maria Maggiore (“St Mary Major”).
The other must-see squares are Spanish Square and Navona Square. Spanish Square got its name because it houses the Embassy of Spain and is famous for its staircase that leads to the church of Most Holy Trinity of the Mounts. Navona Square is linked to the name of an emperor, as it was the “Domitian Stadium”. Now we see it with the transformations of the Baroque period. At this point, we enjoyed a great dinner before heading to the airport and leaving this beautiful country.
