Best Small Towns to Visit in Italy

There is much to see and experience in Italy, whether with a group or solo traveler. From the rolling hills and beautiful wine regions to the beautiful coastal towns, it’s hard to see everything in one place.

If you’re planning on visiting Italy, but are not planning on staying in Florence, Venice, or Rome, then these are some remarkable cities that you should consider visiting.

Tuscany In Arezzo

Although Florence is known for its historical attractions, such as its art galleries and museums, the city center and surrounding areas can get very busy during the day. If you’re planning on visiting another town near Florence, take the train to the beautiful town of Arezzo. This small town is known for its quaint atmosphere and is surrounded by walls and gates. There are plenty of opportunities to experience the local cuisine and fine wine in nearby Florence.

Cinque Terre In Vernazza

Plenty of boat tours are available to take visitors to the towns known as the Cinque Terre. If you’re planning on hiking, then purchase a Cinque Terre card to get around the region and train freely between the towns.

Ischia

If you’re planning on visiting the area and want to try the famous pizza of Naples, then take the ferry to Ischia.
