Unique Places to Visit in Italy: Our Top 10 Favourites
Tumblr media
The world, as we all know, has changed in recent years and so has tourism, many people no longer feel comfortable joining the throngs of holidaymakers that have previously swamped the Italian hotspots on the streets of Venice, Florence and Rome.  Many travellers now want to leave the crowds behind and find the more unique places to visit in Italy that the majority of tourists have not yet discovered.  Italy like all the countries of the world have these in abundance, so lets seek out some of the unique places to visit in Italy. Although a few of the places mentioned here are not often on the ‘usual’ tourists itinerary, some do get busy in the summer months such as Tropea and, now Matera (partially thanks to a recent James Bond movie ‘No Time to Die’ filming there), so it might be prudent to visit these places out of the ‘high’ seasons to avoid the crowds.This post may contain affiliate links to things like hotels, tours or products.  These help us earn a small commission at no additional charge to you and help keep the lights on at Destination Someplace.

Fountain in Trento
Hidden gems of Italy North of Rome:  Unique Places to Visit in Italy
- TrentoThe capital of the Trentino–Alto Adige region, Trento offers a plethora of Italian cultural delights without the crowds, so making it perfect destination for a weekend visit.  Without the grime, dust and crowds of many of the tourist cities of Italy, Trento’s cobbled streets offer a great opportunity to explore this little-known jewel of a town, with its many galleries, outside frescoes, beautiful main piazza and  impressive cathedral.  You can also take in a visit to the equally impressive Buonconsiglio Castle.  All in all a town with a lot to offer mixed in with a laid back vibe. - Camogli, LiguriaThis former fishing town is a secret alternative to its more touristy neighbours of Porto Fino and Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera, with its colourful houses and relaxed atmosphere.  Situated in the Golfo Paradiso, on the Riviera di Levante It retains the feel of its fishing heritage, but still has all the necessities for the discerning visitor, including numerous excellent seafood restaurants  and  the impressive Cenobio Dei Dogi hotel, which although a little pricey could add some ’old world’ glamour to your stay. - Valsugana (or the Sugana valley), TrentinoAlpine forests, mountains and numerous crystal clear lakes that pepper this region offer a wide range of activities to suite the most discerning of out-door types.   Activities in this area are focused in the hills and lakes, and include climbing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking,  sailing, windsurfing along with Spa retreats (such as in Levico).  The region’s major lakes are Lake Levico and  Lake Caldonazzo, and these tend to be the man focus of water sports in the area. - Mantua (Mantova in Italian), LombardyThis is a another great city, just stuffed to the gills with art and architectural wonders – when you visit, you’ll want to keep it your own special secret, because hordes of tourists who would surely descend if they knew how great it was. Encrusted like a diamond brooch the city is surrounded on three sides by pretty emerald lakes.  The town itself is dominated by grand architecture, including the Ducal Palce which boosts over 600 rooms, adored with beautiful frescos and great art, which might even have the Vatican jealously looking over its shoulder. Also worth  visits while here are the Teatro Bibliena, where a few weeks after it official opening December 1769 a 13 year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played to rapturous applause, and the Te Palace (nestled in the suburbs), both hidden gems within this hidden gem.  Also while here remember to partake of some Lambrusco which is produced here and in the nearby region of Emilia Romagna. - Gardens of Bomarzo: the Park of MonstersThe Gardens of Bomarzo, located in northern Lazio also known as the Sacred Wood and more locally as The Park of Monsters due to the abundance of statues and carvings of mythical creatures that inhabit the park. Created in the 16th century in a  wooded valley bottom directly beneath the castle of Orsini, the forested park covers 3-hectares and features many buildings inspired by classical architecture but with a bizarre twist, such as the Leaning House, which warps the rules of perspective and disorients your senses. The park is a perfect location If you want to spend a day in nature while losing yourself in a amazing  labyrinth of ancient surprises. - Orta San Giulio, PiedmontLocated on the shores of Lake Orta, the colourful town of Orta San Giulio certainly sparkles as one of the prettiest gems in Piedmont.  With it relaxed atmosphere it is the perfect place to take an aperitivo in in one of the cool café bars dotted around the piazzas and gardens, then later take a stroll up to the lake front to watch the lights appear on the nearby island of San Giulio as the sun descends.

Getting to Italy
By Air: You can get to all the main Italian airports  easily from the UK, plus other locations within Europe as well as international flights across the globe.  I would recommend using Skyscanner to find flights into Italy and if you are flexible when you go/return use the ‘search by month’ tool to find the most economical flights.By Train: Access to Italy is also easy by train from many European hubs, and also much more eco-friendly than flying, certainly an option if you have the time.  Check out trains to Italy here.By Bus: Of course, you can also reach Italy by bus, but I wouldn't recommend it for very long transits unless of course you are a tight budget (as it is usually the cheapest option).  I would recommend Flixbus, which is a company based in Germany, but serves the vast majority of mainland Europe including Italy.

Hidden gems of Italy South of Rome:  Unique Places to Visit in Italy
- Tropea, CalabriaCalabria, much like its mirror region of Puglia on the other side Italian peninsula, is a land of azure waters and sandy beaches and offers great value when compared to the tourist hotspots of Rome and Florence etc.  (like most of the South of Italy). It can get busy though, especially in the peak of summer when it attracts Italian tourists from all over Italy, so book accommodation early if you plan to visit in peak season.  It’s a great town, featuring the famous Santa dell’Islo church, which perches on a great rock and overlooks the beach.  The 12th-century cathedral and fortified old town further add to the spender of this lovely spot. - Martina Franca, PugliaA little Puglian gem, this town is a few minutes down the road from Alberobello (famous for its conical ‘Trulli’ houses), but with far fewer tourists. It is a labyrinth of brilliant white buildings, pretty piazzas and little restaurants.  This Baroque hilltop town makes a good base for exploring the area. - Castelmezzano, BasilicataThis stunning Italian gem, nestled 900 metres above sea level in the peaks of the Dolmiti Lucane is certainly worth the trip if you are visiting the little-known region of Basilicata.  Visually stunning, the area around the town offers many walks and trails for the avid hiker, and for adrenaline junkies there is a high-speed zip line, called Il Volo dell’Angelo  (The Angel Flight) that connects it to the nearby village of Pietrapertosa. - Matera, BasilicataMatera, after being awarded a European Capital of Culture in 2019, is a little more well-know now than some of it’s contemporaries on this list, it is, however still worth a visit.  This ancient settlement once consisted almost entirely of cave-like dwellings carved into the rock known as the Sassi (in the oldest part of the town), but the story of Matera is one blighted by disease and poverty to such an extent that the town’s population was evacuated in 1952 and the Sassi were abandoned until the 1980s.  Since then the town has benefited from investment and is now a beautiful historical highlight of any visit to this area.  Beware, although the old cave dwellings were some of the poorest in Italy, the new resurgence of this town now means that accommodation in the town can be priced high, especially if you want to stay in one of the former cave dwellings.I hope our selection has whet your appetite for exploring the less touristy areas of Italy, but visit soon as they won’t stay off the tourist radar too long.https://youtu.be/9iIO3qG1E_0
Getting around Italy
There are lots of transport options when seeking out the unique places to visit in Italy, but how you decide to travel depends on where you want to go, what you want to see and how difficult some places might be to reach from your entry point (such as one of the main airports). Here are all the main options. By Bus: Italy's regional bus services are generally reliable and timely, and using local services will allow you to get to some of the more out of the way places on our list.  However, they can be slow and you could need to change several times.  Flixbus also offer many routes across Italy to major towns so these are also worth considering.By Train:  The train network in Italy is extensive, usually on time and fast, especially between the major hubs. The issue with trying to do everything on the trains in Italy, is that it may be more difficult to get to the more out of the way places.  So you may need to combine bus and train if you want to get around using public transport.Rent a car:  This is your most flexible option if you want to explore further afield.  Obviously driving will allow you to get to all the places on our list on your own schedule.  AutoEurope are our first port of call when looking for car rental in Italy.

Staying Safe
Crime levels are generally low in Italy, but in many of the major cities petty theft and pickpocketing does happen especially in crowded tourist spots or busy public transport.  So keep your valuables safe and out of sight.If you have an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.Of course, the key thing is to have comprehensive travel insurance coverage to protect against, cancellations, theft, illness etc.  For this, we use and recommend using  Staysure - specialists in over 50's travel insurance, as we have always found them fair and easy to deal with.    Read the full article

January 8, 2024 Blog 4- Florence
Based on my research I found that the main cultural differences between Rome and Florence stem from the time periods in which they became famous. Rome is connected to its strong history as the Roman Empire and is associated with classical architecture. It also the nations capital which creates a sense of power and influence in the city. Florence is known as the birthplace of the renaissance, and thus is it strongly associated with art and the advancements in science during its time. Today, Florence’s residents still take great pride in their city’s history and art. Rome is located in the Lazio region of Italy. Here the cuisine is an extension of Roman cuisine, the main source of revenue in the economy is real estate/ entrepreneurial activities followed by tourism, and is the hub of Italian cinema. Florence is located in the Tuscan region of Italy. Tuscany is well known for its artistic history and many art schools, simple cuisine, and rich agricultural industry’s.
After our quick stay in each city the main cultural differences I observed was in the food and the fashion style of the residents. The pasta in Rome reminded me of what I’ve had at home ( in New Jersey where there’s a lot of Italians). While it was good, the pasta in Florence tasted fresher and was prepared in sauces that I’d never heard of before. I would agree that Tuscan cuisine focus on simplicity and was amazed to learn that a good ravioli sauce only requires butter and sage. The fashion style of locals is something I like to observe because I feel that it can tell a lot about the lifestyle of the cities residents. In Rome, locals fashion was practical with lots of classic silhouettes, neutral colors, and simple accessories. In Florence I noticed more dramatic silhouettes, color, and statement accessories. I felt like the dream outfits I have saved on Pinterest came to life in front of me. I think this reflects the rich art history of the city, and as our guide said, fashion history of the city.

Blog #4/Jan 8.
Rome had a very historic past and spirit. The buildings are more colorful and the squares more crowded. Rome is known as the “Eternal city” which makes since due to its past and historic relevance. Rome is a melting pot of culture and traditions with a large population and heavy tourism. Rome is located in the central part of Italy knows as Lazio. The origins of Lazio date back to prehistoric times, with the growth of Rome Lazio became the the heart of the Roman Empire. Over time the area was invaded by different populations creating cultural and social changes. The architecture in Rome has a large Baroque presence with lots of exterior ornamentation.
Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region, surrounded by rolling hills filled with villas, farms and vineyards. Florence was founded as a Roman military colony. It is an
important cultural, economic, political and artistic force. There is a modern and dynamic economy based on small industrial production outside the city. While the city is largely dependent on the tourism industry. Tuscany has a large Renaissance architectural presence. While Rome also has some Renaissance architecture there is a more prominent Baroque presence in Rome. So far my personal observation has been that Florence definitely has a more Tuscan look and feeling. The crowds are somewhat less crowded in the squares. While Rome had a more colorful feel and the squares are very crowded. I have really enjoyed both cities so far and look forward to seeing the cultural similarities and differences more.

Rome (Lazio). Baths of Diocletian (298 AD). The Thermae Diocletianae were started by Massimiano and occupy a large area around piazza Esedra, Termini, via Parigi and a series of rear streets. The baths were subject to reuse in the following centuries for the most varied purposes, and many buildings were also demolished to restore the oldest baths. In this area, in addition to other things, the National Roman Museum (1889) has been located. The baths were mainly composed of the Calidarium, Tepidarium, Frigidarium, Natatio, Palaestrae and the great Exedra. Several plaques reveal the details of their history. They remained in use until 537 and in the sixteenth century were subject to extensive looting for new buildings. In 1560 the Frigidarium, Tepidarium and Natatio became the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Carthusian convent, also encroaching on the Calidarium. On the opposite side, the octagonal hall (later Planetarium) and the whole intermediate side (formerly the Magisterium) became the annona of the grain and subsequently with underground excavations, also of oil. In 1754 the church of Sant'Isidoro alle Terme was built, which in turn was demolished (except for the façade) for the recovery of the original asset. After the most varied uses, the premises were used as a museum in this century. In the photos we see the side of the Baths overlooking via Parigi, built in 1959 following the twinning with the French capital, the ancient Lutetiae Parisiorum. On these walls you can see the facade of St. Isidore and an entrance to the Octagonal Hall (minor frigidarium). #photos #twinning #following #terme #side #grain #underground #entrance #roma #rome #lazio #reuse #museum #facade #bath #recovery #original #walls #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #travelgram #travelingram #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #estremisti Information for the purchase of my new book "Extremists!": The book at a cost of 12.00 euros (120 pages), can be ordered in the bookstore (ISBN 978-88-591-5719-9 - Editore Aletti) or requested to the e-mail [email protected] with additional postage (currently 1.28 euros - fold of books). https://www.instagram.com/p/ClElH0ptYfA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back in June, my husband and I decided to jump through the COVID hurdles and board one of the COVID free flights headed to Italy. Travel is very healing for me and after a very stressful year, I was in dire need of a change. We got two tests on the way in and landed in Rome. Italy was in the midst of a heat wave, one of the worst ever, but that didn’t deter us. As soon as we got out of the airport we drove to Ostia Antica to see the old roman port. This place had  been on my bucket list for a while and it’s super close to Fiumicino, so off we went. At the entrance we were greeted by Massimo, an official tour guide, who offered us a tour for 35 Euro. Seemed like a deal to us and so we spent the next two hours learning about Roman society, imports, and politics. Massimo really brought this place to life!
Ostia Antica is a large archaeological site, close to the modern town of Ostia, that is the location of the harbor city of ancient Rome, 15 miles southwest of Rome. "Ostia" is a derivation of "os", the Latin word for "mouth". The site is noted for the excellent preservation of its ancient buildings, magnificent frescoes and impressive mosaics.
Ostia grew to 50,000 inhabitants in the 2nd century, reaching a peak of some 100,000 inhabitants in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
Tumblr media
One of the interesting tidbits we picked up was that there was a common “trade tongue” which was used to procure services from merchants. Ostia was a melting pot for people from all over the ancient world. Merchants would advertise their wares using mosaics on the floor of their stalls. 
Tumblr media
Above is the amphitheater built by Commodus. 
The ruins are still being excavated to this day. MORE INFO
I’ll slowly begin posting some pictures from our road trip. Enjoy.
