Duomo, Milan: Admire the architecture and rich history of the Duomo.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: Visit the worlds oldest shopping centre, and bask in all of its luxury offerings and gorgeous architecture that was spearheaded by architect, Guiseppe Mengoni.

Cantina Urbano Milano: Cantina Urbano Milano is the one-of-a-kind winery, as it is the only one in the city of Milan. While you can come here for a casual drink, or buy a range of wines that they have made, you can also tour the facility and learn about their brand while tasting delicious wines paired with different meats, cheeses, and breads.

Duomo and Basilica of Santa Croce: Visit Florence’s mesmerizing basilica and grandiose Duomo while getting lost in the Florentine streets, wander into shops and stumble upon the black-and-white, coin operated photo booth to solidify the memory, if you’re lucky!

Colosseum and The Roman Forum: While I am sure we have all heard of the Colosseum and the Forum, it is absolutely breathtaking to see in person and hear the story from the locals and how their history has impacted them.

Vatican City: While Vatican City is considered the smallest country in the world, there is so much to explore and admire there. Whether you choose to tour the museum or admire Vatican Palace, you will be taken aback by the energy that fills Piazza San Pietro.
