Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a medieval construction located in the city of Pisa. The construction of the tower started in 1173, and continued over the next couple of centuries. It is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Italy.
The tilt occurred during construction due to the ground being too soft on the one side of the foundation. Don’t miss out on this spectacular structure and dare yourself all the way up to the top!
Colosseum
Rome is a city with an immense cultural heritage, and there are plenty of sites and locations worth visiting. One of them, and probably the most famous monument in Rome, is the Colosseum, or the Coliseum. It is the largest amphitheater in the world with its heritage stemming from Roman times. Built purposefully for the entertainment of Rome’s citizens, different games were hosted to entertain the citizens of Rome and divert their attention away from political problems. The games were held for a whole day or several days in a row, and varied from comical acts and the showing of exotic animals to death fights between animals and gladiators or between gladiators. It truly is worth taking a tour through this impressive construction.

Located between Venice and Milan, it’s an immensely popular tourist destination for people of all ages.
