The wonderland of Burano is an island you have to see to believe. Only a short boat ride away from the heart of Venice, you can’t miss this. Burano is a fascinating city with a unique local culture. Many residents are fisherman.

If you think you are having a bad day, just think of the designer that created what is known as one of the biggest architectural disasters of all time. When you see for the first time your gut will clench, fearing the tower will fall, but I can assure you that this building has been standing for hundreds of years. It is not falling any time soon.
12.) Architecture and street vendors in Bo
Some of my friends thought I was joking when I said I visited a city called Boloniga, because it sounds so similar to the American word for boloni. However, there is nothing American about Boloniga. Street vendors sell local art and I purchased the most lovely one of a kind ring.
13.) The Duomo in Milan
Like is Gucci in the fashion capital of the world, but besides the clothing the architecture also has impeccable style. This gothic-style cathedral is a majestic masterpiece in the heart of Milano.

Positano’s colorful cliffside village offers luxurious ocean-front views that make this city an ideal place for a posh outing.
15.) Sunset over the Amalfi Coast
The cliff along the Amalfi Coast is a view you have only seen in the movies. As I watch the sun set over the cliffs along the Amalfi Coast is a vision.

Lake Como is a hot spot for honeymooners, and I can see why. Lake Como is both romanic and dreamy. 
17.) The Bridge of Sighs, Venice
Prisoners crossed the Bridge of Sighs to enter the gruesome dungeons of Venice. As the captive inmates peaked out over the bridge and would sigh with despair as they saw lovers ride by in a gondola in the canal below.

Visiting a beach in Cinque Terre is paradise. Corniglia beach is particularly ideal because secluded and away from the crowds at the other beaches in Cinque Terre.

In order to watch the lights of boats illuminate the waterways Ponte dell’Academica Bridge is the best to see at night.

Florence is a lively city laced with ancient beauty. The streets are distinguishable. Once you see them you will recognize them in every photo of Florence.
Although the city is incredible, there are a few things not to do in Florence.
21.) St. Mark’s Basilica & Church
When visiting Italy, Venice is a must on the check list. St. Mark’s Basilica is in the heart of Venice. St. Mark’s Basilica is rumored to have the body of St. Mark. Although I wouldn’t find this too impressive. Over fifty churches across Italy claim to have his body. What truly makes the gold ceilings and rooftop views over the plaza. The Basilica is covered with Christmas lights during the holiday season.

22.) Galleria de Milano
Don’t be fooled, the Galleria de Milano is no ordinary mall. The Galleria is home to high-end brand stores such as Prada, Gucci, and Coach, but what really makes this place unique is the extravagant high ceilings and decorated floors.
23.) Architecture of local houses
Unlike local homes in America, Italian homes have been standing for hundreds of years. The ancient architecture has withstood through time, and it is a beauty to behold. These homes often do not have regular air-conditioning as in America. Instead Italians simply open the windows and let the breeze flow in. 
24.) Views overlooking the city of Florence
The short hike is worth the gorgeous views overlooking the city. Since Florence is in a valley the mountains behind the city sets the scene for a truly breath-taking sight. In fact this is the same view of Kim Kardashion-West’s Wedding, so you know it is a glamours sight.
25.) Lunch on the hill of Civita di Bagnoregio
This medieval city on a hill, blew me away. With only ten local residents Civita di Bagnoregio gives a taste of small town Italian culture. Not to mention the restaurant was some of the best food I ate during my three months in Italy.
