Caserta - Versailles of the Neapolitan Kings

Resting in Pozzuoli, near Naples, after a trip to the island of Ischia, we wanted to take a walk in the park. There is tension here with beautiful parks, but there is one place where a walking alley with fountains and waterfalls stretches for 3 km! A sort of Italian Versailles. Now I will tell about him. We are against the backdrop of the Palace of Caserta. Resting in Pozzuoli, near Naples, after a trip to the island of Ischia, we wanted to take a walk in the park.

The best beaches of Rimini and the surrounding area

The most famous seaside resort on the Adriatic coast, Rimini is a favorite vacation spot not only for Italians, but also for tourists from all over the world. The coast of the resort is about 15 kilometers of magnificent beaches with soft golden sand, conventionally divided into 10 areas. The first official beach in Rimini was opened in the middle of the XIX century, now there are more than two hundred of them.
Germany

Old National Gallery

The Old National Gallery is an ideal example of how to show one of the best collections of paintings without overloading the brain in excess of the number of paintings - a collection of German masters of the 18th - early 20th centuries. The gallery also presents filigree sculptures. And the addition to the rather austere German art, so to speak, "cherry on the cake" - the French impressionists.
Italy

Capitoline Museums

Capitoline museums will be interesting to lovers of Roman history. The collection is awesome. The buildings were designed by Michelangelo himself and convey all the greatness and style of the Baroque era. It is better to visit museums in the afternoon, when there are not many who want to. Moreover, the exhibits are more expressive in the rays of the setting sun.

Leaning Tower of Pisa and other sights of Pisa

Pisa is an Italian city located in the west of Tuscany right at the mouth of the Arno River. Despite the fact that Pisa is a relatively small city (population - about 100 thousand inhabitants), its history is very confused and saturated. Until now, no one knows for sure who the founder of Pisa was - whether they were Etruscans, Ligurians or Greeks who moved here from Pisa - a city located in the Greek Peloponnese.
Vatican

Vatican City

The independent city-state of the Vatican was founded according to the Lateran agreement between the Italian state and the Roman Catholic Church in 1929. It is located on the right bank of the Tiber in the western part of Rome. The Vatican is the smallest state in the world and it contains all the highest governing bodies of the Roman Catholic Church, including the residence of the pope.
