Emilia-Romagna
In a region as overwhelmingly foodie as Emilia-Romagna it's only natural that its capital, Bologna, is dubbed 'La Grassa' (the fat one). Many belt-busting Italian classics hail from here, including mortadella, tortellini and tagliatelle al ragù. Shop in the deli-packed Quadrilatero and day-trip to the city of Modena for world-famous aged balsamic vinegar. Leave room for Parma, hometown of parmigiano reggiano cheese and the incomparable prosciutto di Parma. Wherever you plunge your fork, toast with a glass or three of Emilia-Romagna's renowned Lambrusco or sauvignon blanc.

The Dolomites
Scour the globe and you'll find plenty of taller, bigger and more geologically volatile mountains, but few can match the romance of the pink-hued, granite Dolomites. Maybe it's their harsh, jagged summits, the vibrant skirts of spring wildflowers or the rich cache of Ladin legends. Then again, it could just be the magnetic draw of money, style and glamour at Italy's most fabled ski resort, Cortina d'Ampezzo, or the linguistic curiosity of picture-postcard mountain village Sappada. Whatever the reason, this tiny pocket of northern Italy takes seductiveness to dizzying heights.

Amalfi Coast
Italy's most celebrated coastline is a gripping strip: coastal mountains plunge into creamy blue sea in a prime-time vertical scene of precipitous crags, sun-bleached villages and lush woodland. Between sea and sky, mountain-top hiking trails deliver Tyrrhenian panoramas fit for a god. While some may argue that the peninsula's most beautiful coast is Liguria's Cinque Terre or Calabria's Costa Viola, it is the Amalfi Coast that has seduced and inspired countless greats, from Wagner and DH Lawrence to Tennessee Williams, Rudolf Nureyev and Gore Vidal.

il Duomo in Florence

Florence's Cathedral, il Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, tops the list of things to see in Florence and is probably the best known of Italy's cathedrals. When it was completed in 1436, it was the largest church in the world but today it's the third largest. It is best known for its dome, called Brunelleschi's Dome, with its stunning fresco. Visitors can climb the 436 stairs to the top of the dome (ticket required) for fantastic views of Florence.

Ancient City of Pompeii

The Roman city of Pompeii was buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius volcano in 79 AD and now its ruins give a good look at what an ancient Roman city was like. The site includes villas, baths, shops, an arena, temples, and the Forum. There's a lot to see so plan to spend several hours. ​Select Italy offers a half-day guided tour, ​Totally Ruined: The Excavations at Pompeii.

Pompeii can easily be visited as a day trip from Naples or from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. The train station in Pompei (the modern city is spelled with one i) is a short walk from the excavations. If you'd like to visit Pompeii from Rome, consider a guided day trip with transportation such as Select Italy's Lost Cities: Pompeii and Herculaneum from Rome.

The Tuscany town of Pisa is most often visited by tourists wanting to see or climb the Leaning Tower, one of Italy's most well-known attractions. The ornate Romanesque tower is one of Europe's most famous towers. To get to the top, you'll have to climb almost 300 steps.

Other monuments that should be visited along with the tower are the adjacent white marble cathedral for which the bell tower was built and the 12th-century Baptistery, the largest in Italy.
