Best places to visit in Italy if you already live in Rome or Florence

Tweet

Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan… Amazing destinations packed with tourists, so bright that hide every competitor. The question arises: how could a foreign tourist decide to go somewhere else when planning a travel to Italy in front of such glorious names? Yet travellers should consider the option to discover another, more authentic face of Italy, choosing less resonant places, but actually not less touristy.

Orvieto, in Umbria, central Italy, is among them. Maybe one of the most visited places by roman and Florentine inhabitants, cause despite being a small town preserves some jewels that have nothing to envy to the Basilica of Florence or to the Coliseum but their fame.

Italians, volcanic people with volcanic lakes

Tweet

Italian people are known to be very warm, chatty and boisterous sometimes, in a certain sense volcanic people… in a volcanic land. That’s not a joke, not only beaches and mountains characterize Italy’s nature. Apart from active and apparently dead volcanoes, central and southern Italy are dotted with beautiful lakes originated by ancient volcanoes, today stage of magic landscapes. In the next stop of our blog’s travel we discover the two biggest of these lakes: Trasimeno, in Umbria region, and Lake Bolsena in Lazio region, not far from Rome.

Lake Trasimeno

Lake Trasimeno is located in the green heart of Umbria, amidst beds of reeds and charming white water lilies. It is a true natural paradise home to wild ducks, cormorants, kites and kingfishers.
