Florence Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore)
Landmarks
The Florence Cathedral, the main church of Florence, is world-renowned for its exquisite red, white, and green marble facade and the massive red dome designed by Brunelleschi. This cathedral is not only an architectural wonder of the Renaissance but also the defining feature of Florence's skyline. The interior is solemn and majestic, with the Last Judgment fresco on the ceiling being absolutely breathtaking.

Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto)
Landmarks
Spanning the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge is the oldest and most iconic bridge in Venice. This elegant white marble arch bridge features charming shops on both sides selling souvenirs, Venetian masks, and exquisite glassware. Standing at the center of the bridge, you can look down upon the bustling Grand Canal filled with gondolas and water buses, framed by colorful historic buildings.

Pompeii Archaeological Park (Parco Archeologico di Pompei)
Culture & museums
In 79 AD, the ancient city of Pompeii was instantly buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, remaining hidden until modern archaeological excavations brought it back to light. Thanks to the protective layer of volcanic ash, the city's streets, temples, baths, bakeries, and even frescoes have been preserved in remarkable detail, as if time stood still two millennia ago. Walking along the cobblestone streets of Pompeii, you can witness the highly advanced urban planning and lifestyle of ancient Rome, making it a truly breathtaking historical and archaeological journey.
Good to know
Take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples and get off at Pompei Scavi Villa dei Misteri station; the entrance is just outside the station. The archaeological site is vast with very little shade, so we recommend staying for 4 to 5 hours. Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of drinking water.

Positano is the most dazzling gem of southern Italy's Amalfi Coast. Built vertically on a cliff face, the town features a cascade of colorful houses stacked like building blocks leading down to the azure Tyrrhenian Sea. Strolling through the narrow, winding alleys draped in bougainvillea, you will find charming boutiques selling lemon-themed products and handmade sandals. Looking back at the colorful town from the beach offers a stunning and romantic panorama, making it a dream vacation destination for travelers worldwide.
