Liguria, a region in the northwest of Italy, is often referred to as the Italian Riviera. Lying in the Gulf of Genoa, on the Ligurian Sea, it stretches in a picturesque way between two mountain ranges - the Alps and the Apennines. The area owes its name to one of the oldest tribes in Italy - the Ligurians, who came to the country from North Africa. How to plan a visit to Liguria? What regional cuisine to try while traveling? We invite you to read!. The capital of the region is Genoa, the atmosphere of which you will feel best while walking between the densely dotted streets that make up the old town. Among them, it is worth visiting the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Church of Gesu, whose walls are decorated with paintings by Rubens. From Rafaelle de Ferrari Square stretches a new part of the city, filled with fashion salons and equally trendy cafes. When visiting Genoa , sooner or later you will reach a great port, where there is also an aquarium with several hundred interesting species of marine animals. Portofino should be an important point when traveling in Liguria . The town, situated in the Gulf of Golfi del Tigullio, stands out for its colorfully packed houses, creating a postcard-like view. Monte di Portofino, a peak belonging to the Regional Park, is also not far from here. The trip would not be complete without a visit to the Cinque Terre , which brings together five spectacular towns - Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Monterosso, Manarola and Corniglia. Situated on steep cliffs, connected by a winding mountain path, they form the Cinque Terre National Park. Each town is delighted with its unique location and atmospheric buildings - it is worth staying here for longer. Sanremo, made famous by the Italian Song Festival, is also located in the region. Its central point is Piazza Coloma, and the oldest district - La Pigna, full of local bars.

Liguria - relaxation on the Italian Riviera

Holidays in Italy are a great opportunity to soak in the unique atmosphere of a quiet, southern dolce vita for a short time. For many people who have been to this country more than once, the most famous places of the northern part of the country - Veneto - Venice or Verona, may be a bit "too touristy". No wonder - both cities attract huge crowds of tourists every year and, frankly speaking, it is not easy to relax in them and feel the "spirit of magical Italy". So if you are planning a trip to these areas, it is worth trying to deviate from the trail for a moment to discover a number of cities and towns that do not offer such spectacular views, but allow you to get to know the more idyllic and definitely less commercial face of Italy. This is an excellent proposition especially for families traveling with children who would like to escape the hustle and bustle of big cities for a while!.

Picturesque and still rarely visited Abruzzo is one of the most beautiful and worth visiting corners of the Apennine Peninsula. It may not be as famous as its northern neighbor - the province of Marche, but perhaps due to the fact that it has never been on the main tourist route, it still remains one of the more virgin corners of this part of Europe. Mighty mountain peaks reaching almost 3000 meters above sea level, vast valleys and towns and villages "squeezed" into them, where life has its own rhythm for hundreds of years ... yes, Abruzzo, although little known, is certainly a real jewel of Italy. A holiday in Abruzzo is a great adventure for a family who likes to spend time actively - because more than a third of the region is occupied by a national park, we can be sure that the encounters with wildlife will be amazing for sure. In addition, the stunning coastline, which is Abruzzo's 'hidden treasure', may be the best retreat away from the crowds that are besieging Bari's beaches right now ...

Sicily is the largest of the Mediterranean islands, located southwest of the Apennine Peninsula, separated from it by the narrow Strait of Messina. It is also the largest region of Italy, inhabited by nearly 5 million inhabitants. Due to the highest annual number of sunny hours in all of Europe, it is sometimes called the Island of the Sun. Tourists are drawn to its wild nature, intimate beaches, ancient cities and the fact that the famous Italian mafia was born in Sicily. The warm climate, friendly locals and local delicacies make it unflagging popularity among travelers to Italy. What else makes Sicily unique? What souvenirs to buy while on the island?.

Sicily, known as the Island of the Sun, is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its south-west part is only 100 km from the coast of Africa. The landscape is more hilly and mountainous with steep shores. What to see in this part of Sicily? What dishes characteristic of this largest region of Italy are worth trying? We invite you to read!. Let's start with Ragusa, which is one of the main cities of the southern part of Sicily. The main attractions of visiting Ragusa should be the valuable baroque monuments of sacred art - the Cathedral of San Giovanni, the Duomo si dan Giorgio and the Church of San Giuseppe. Apart from them, take a stroll through the historic city center, full of narrow streets that are climatically inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Interestingly, the city was almost completely destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century, and after rebuilding it was divided into two parts - Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla - the latter is particularly interesting due to the romantic atmosphere among quiet alleys with a Baroque history in the background. Another point of family holidays in Sicily - one of the most important cities of the ancient world. It is worth seeing the cathedral, behind the facade of which is the temple of Athena from the 5th century BC. Then you can check out the city of olives and almonds, or Noto. From the monuments you will see the cathedral with two twin towers and the Church of Santa Chiara. In turn, 50 km from Marsala you will find excavations in Selinunte - to this day most of them are hidden in the ground. The last, but equally important, stop should be Agrigento with its famous Valley of the Temples. There is also a large port nearby, from which the ships on the Pelagie Island - Lampedusa and Linosa depart.

Visiting the south of Sicily

The Italian province of Salerno is famous for its huge attractions - one of the most important archaeological parks in Europe. Today, Paestum is a district of the Campanian city of Capaccio, while in the distant past it was a Greek colony of the city of Sybaris. The ruins of the settlement were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. When you are in Salerno, you simply have to visit them. The more so because for only centuries they remained in oblivion, reappearing to the world only in the 18th century.

Paestum - the power of Greek temples

Squeezed between low, colorful hills and the warm Adriatic Sea, the Marche region has recently become a real tourist hit. Many people praise it (and rightly so!) As a calmer and ... cheaper version of Tuscany. We can find here everything that the eastern coast of Italy is famous for: excellent cuisine, medieval towns in the picturesque valleys and truly Italian Dolce vita . So if we are looking for these three unique elements, a holiday in Marche will certainly provide them. Who will like this place the most? From my own experience, I can say one thing: a family vacation in Marche is a shot at 10! There are several reasons: the first is the unique location of the region - the long coastline means you can discover different beaches every day (clean and peaceful!), And the surrounding hills, where an active family can move around on two wheels, hide real treasures. If we want, we and our kids can discover the secrets of medieval knights in small towns such as charming Montemonaco . Surrounded by massive walls and interwoven with cobbled streets, it allows you to feel like you were in the old era of kings and princes. A bit further you will find the Sibillini National Park - a great place to discover the fishing line of an adventurer. The extensive network of trails leads tourists to crystal clear lakes, caves and mountain passes - places perfect for a family picnic!.

It is hard to imagine a better place for a trip for two than a romantic Venice on the warm Adriatic Sea. This city attracts couples in love like no other - well, one would like to say, it's probably such a romantic atmosphere here. Visiting Venice is at first glance an extremely complicated matter: the city lies on 118 islands that are connected by charming stone bridges and narrow footbridges. In fact, this "Italian mess" is very easy to grasp - not only famous gondolas run on the canals, but also reliable vaporetti (water buses) and water taxis. Besides, even if we get lost for a moment among numerous picturesque tenement houses, our reliable partner will certainly find the way (the more that a clear arrow shows it ...) Note, however - walking along the narrow streets between successive, more and more beautiful palaces, we can fall in love not only with the Partner walking next to us, but also with wonderful architecture! Yes, Venice is not only the "capital of lovers" but also one of the most architecturally beautiful places in the world.
