100 Best Things to do in Italy 5 / 32

It is difficult – if not impossible – to limit a list of things to do in Italy to 100, and even more difficult to put them in order of descending significance or entertainment value: home to Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, with islands as diverse as dour Sicily and African-influenced Pantelleria and cultures as far apart as Renaissance Venice and the prehistoric Trulli in Alberobello, Italy is a vibrant and colorful hotch-potch, a land of stark and passionately defended contrasts.

Let’s continue the count…

11. Blue Grotto (Naples)

The famous “Grotta Azzurra” , a sea cave extending around 50 m into the cliff and with a depth of 150 metres, is situated on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Since its entrance is a mere 1 metre high, it can only be accessed at low tide and in calm waters; visitors must lie face downwards on a four-man boat to enter the cave. However, these minor discomforts are more than worth it, because the water of the cave is an unbelievable clear blue, lit with silver flashes, like a starry sky. The cave is Capri`s number 1 tourist attraction, and with good reason.

Entrance to the cave is by boat from Anacapri. A ferry/shuttle bus service runs regularly from Naples to Anacapri (around 2 hours 40 minutes).

 

12. Trentino Winter Sports

The mountainous province in northern Italy known as “Trentino” was already inhabited in the middle-Stone-Age; today it is a Mecca for lovers of winter sports – snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing – as well as a variety of festivals, markets and social activities.

The city of Trento in the Adige river valley in Italy’s south Tyrolean mountains existed as “Trent” at least as early as 4 BC and was part of Austria until it was annexed by Italy in 1919. It offers an interesting combination of Austrian and Italian culture and architecture and is well worth a visit.

 

13. Gardaland Fun Park

The Gardaland fun park is the largest theme park in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. A seemingly never-ending choice of fantasy rides, thrill rides and more tranquil tours of pirate’s caves and ancient Egypt – plus live shows which change regularly – await the fun-loving visitor of any age. The park also has an aquarium and its own hotel and attracts three million visitors a year. It was ranked fifth out of the ten best adventure parks in the world in 2005.

Gardaland is approximately 30 km west of Verona and can be reached by train from Verona`s railway station in around 45 minutes (exit Gardaland).
