Italy is one of the most popular countries for tourists and travelers to visit, and it’s easy to see why. From its inspiring historical monuments to its delicious food, rugged coastlines and rolling hills, the country has plenty to offer visitors. Fall is an ideal time to visit Italy, as the temperatures are cooler and the summer crowds have gone. Here are three of the best cities to check out during the autumn months.
Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna
This city has a history which dates back to the 5th century BCE, and it’s easy to see layers of this in the monuments and ruins that are spread throughout the city. Once you’re done with history sightseeing, admire the views of the coastline from this port city, or explore the streets for a bite of something delicious to eat.
Trento, Trentino–Alto Adige
Nestled at the foot of the impressive Dolomite mountain range is the beautiful and historical city of Trento. Expect stone squares with splashing fountains at their center, delightful trattorias serving up local delicacies, and views of the foothills with vineyards spread across them.
Venice, Veneto
This iconic city is incredible at any time of the year, but if you want to experience the somber mysteries of Venice then fall is the time to visit. Mists rise from the canals in the morning, and the sun illuminates stunningly beautiful streets which you can wander at leisure now that the summer crowds have gone.
