Every area of Italy, whether it is North, South, Central, South or Islands, offers unique experiences, heritage, and culture to tourists. While Venice is the most well-known part of Northern Italy, it also has many other tourist hotspots. These are just a few of the must-visit places for your Northern Italy vacation.
Trieste
Trieste is a beautiful city that deserves to be mentioned for its stunning natural heritage and edifices. It has a rich architectural history and attracts tourists with its palaces and opulence. Miramare Castle, a castle perched on the crest of a hill overlooking the sea is a beautiful sight. It has retained its original charm and is furnished with antiques. Piazza Unita D’Italia, also known locally as the Living Room of the City, is known for its unique charm. Grotta Gigante, a natural attraction that is shaped like a cave, also catches the eye of visitors.
Verona
Although the city is believed to have witnessed the love story between Romeo and Juliet, it is just one reason why Verona is a must-see for Northern vacationers. It has survived many invasions and preserved its heritage. Tourists often visit the city for the view from the balcony where Juliet spoke to her lover. The Arena, a Roman amphitheater, and art-filled churches are both popular sights.
Parma
A Northern Italian vacation is incomplete without visiting Parma, the city of cheese. It is well-known for its cheese and prosciutto production facilities. The city is well-known for its delicious gourmet cuisine. It also boasts many beautiful countryside views and historic attractions. Romanesque cathedral, Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata, and Palazzo della Pilotta are famous amongst vacationers. Famous artists like Giovannino Guareschi, Attilio Bertolucci and Benedetto Anntelami used to call it home.
Genoa
It is the sixth-largest city in Italy and has a stunning architectural heritage. The Port of Genoa was the hub for international trade, bringing prosperity to the region. Tourists passing through Genoa should visit the Aquarium of Genoa. It houses 800 marine species and is the largest aquarium of its kind in Italy. Genoa is rich in art, with its many palaces and churches.
The unique characteristics of the above cities make them stand out, but Lake Como’s surroundings are a popular choice for travelers who are looking for tranquility, natural beauty, and a pleasant climate. The place offers a lot of adventure and luxury options.
