What Should You Include in Your Italy Itinerary

Climb an Active Volcano in Sicily

Sicily is an island off the south coast of Italy that is probably most famous for being home to the Italian mafia, but fear not! It’s actually not a dangerous place, and skipping Sicily on your trip would be a great shame, particularly for outdoor adventurers. This is because Sicily is home to the magnificent Mount Etna, one of the world’s best known active volcanoes. Walking up the mountain takes about 4 hours and is quite a slog, but the views from the top, as well as the landscape of the volcano itself, makes it well worth the effort.    

Look at the Stars in the Milan Planetarium

The planetarium in Milan is like no other that you have visited before, because this is actually the largest planetarium in the whole of the country. There are guided projections every Saturday and Sunday, so this would be the best time to visit and do some star gazing. It’s also a great place to get kids to learn something new and interested in space and science.

Drink Italian Craft Beers in Rome

Italy is, of course, famous for its broad selection of exquisite wine, but if you are a beer drinker, fear not because there is also a growing craft beer culture in the country. If the idea of sipping on some delicious Italian beers sounds like a good idea to you, be sure to make your way to Open Baladin in Rome. This hidden place on a side street serves up more than 40 beers on tap, including chocolate and coffee flavoured beers, so there is bound to be something that gets your tastebuds going

Eat Delicious Caponata in Sicily

Sicily is an island with a huge amount of offer. As well as great beaches and mountains, it has a food culture that is distinct from the mainland, and one of the traditional dishes that comes from Sicily is caponata. This dish is simple, like many Italian dishes, and it’s all the more delicious because of it. Caponata is essentially aubergine that is cooked with tomatoes, raisins, capers and pine nuts. Scoop it up with bread and you’ll be in food heaven.

Visit a Medieval Fortress in Milan

Italy is a country that is totally bursting full of historic attractions, but Milan is probably best known as a contemporary city that’s more famous for Fashion Week than for its castles, but don’t skip Milan if you are interested in history because a Medieval fortress called Sforza Castle is well worth some of your time. Inside this beautiful building, you can also find a complex of cool museums, such as the Museum of Ancient Art, the Museum of Musical Instruments, and the Egyptian Museum.
