The finest way to see the city of canals is to learn how to operate a boat for you. Gondolas are everywhere in Venice, but learning to operate one is the best way to experience them. Choose to take a class in voga alla veneta, the Venetian technique of standing-up rowing, rather than paying a lot of money for a brief (but romantic) boat trip. A pub with cicchetti would be preferable if you could paddle your boat immediately down the rivers (happy hour snacks).

Huge groups of tourists will be present inside the revered Sistine Chapel since Michelangelo's masterpiece is a must-see. If you want to visit the Vatican Museums after hours, get a ticket in advance to avoid the crowds. The museum is open on Fridays until 11 p.m. from April through October, and as the hours pass, the atmosphere for viewing art becomes more secluded. Before rushing to the painted church, kill time by getting a prosecco at the café in the Pine Cone courtyard.

The renowned Colosseum's exterior is one of the most well-known photo settings in Rome, but viewing the structure from below offers the ideal perspective. Book a guided tour to get entry to the underground space and see the clever system of tunnels, pulleys, and levers that formerly transported stage props, gladiators, and exotic animals to the front of the stage.

The Spiaggia Rosa is one of the world's most distinctive beaches because of its pink sand; it is situated on the island of Budelli off the coast of Sardinia. The beach is situated in the Maddalena Archipelago National Park, and because to the beach's uncommonly colored sand, the Italian government no longer permits beachgoers to lounge on the sand. Fortunately, visitors may still take in the rose colour and the ethereal blue waves while lounging on the adjacent beaches of Spiaggia Del Cavaliere and Cala di Roto.

The wait to climb the Duomo in Florence might take up valuable time, yet it is a must-see location. Go to the library instead of waiting for a chance to see the church in a genuinely distinctive way. As you approach the café in the Oblate Library, pass ancient artefacts and reading rooms dotted with wooden shelves. The outside patio is the best-kept secret in the heart of the city for a cheap drink that overlooks the well-known landmark.
