100 Best Things to do in Italy 18 / 32

It is difficult – if not impossible – to limit a list of things to do in Italy to 100, and even more difficult to put them in order of descending significance or entertainment value: home to Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, with islands as diverse as dour Sicily and African-influenced Pantelleria and cultures as far apart as Renaissance Venice and the prehistoric Trulli in Alberobello, Italy is a vibrant and colorful hotch-potch, a land of stark and passionately defended contrasts.

Let’s continue the count…

 

53. Treviso Talking Tree Park (Venice)

A fascinating educational and interactive theme park for children of all ages and young-at-heart adults, “il parco degli alberi parlanti” offers a delightful day out with the whole family when staying in Venice (26 km). Whether cartoons and the history of cinema, discovering the four elements or trying out the experiments and inventions of Leonardo da Vinci happen to be your thing, the Talking Tree Park is sure to please.

Treviso has its own airport; trains run regularly from Venezia Santa Lucia railway station to Treviso Centrale (around 30 minutes).

 

54. Walk the Via Francigena

During the Middle Ages, pilgrimages to holy places were very prevalent. Alongside the more famous Camino de Santiago (which runs to Compostela di Santiago in Spain) was the Via Francigena or Way through France, traditionally linking Canterbury in England to Rome through France and Italy. The route is currently enjoying a revival among pilgrims and hikers, and guided tours with accommodation are available starting from Aosta, Ivrea or Vercelli in the north of Italy, or Siena or Viterbo in the south, taking in many delightful 11th and 12th century villages on the way. (From Aosta to Rome is around 750 km).

Shorter stretches of the Via Francigena can be covered on foot or bicycle, or by car or coach.

 

55. Capri

The sheer wealth of attractions on this most beautiful of Italian islands makes it difficult choosing what to visit first! Situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Gulf of Naples, Capri has been a holiday resort since the times of the Romans, and much of its architecture bears witness to that. Public and private beaches flank clear turquoise water and the gardens (particularly the Gardens of Augustus) and views (from Monte Solaro, the island’s highest point – access by cable car) are unforgettable.

The closest airport to Capri is Naples Capodichino; ferries depart for Capri from Naples regularly (or less frequently from Salerno, Amalfi or Positano), which takes around one hour; alternatively the island can be accessed by helicopter.
