1. Leaning Tower of Pisa
This 56-meter tower is the clearest proof that errors can bring success. After all, if not for the mistake of Pisano, then this tower is unlikely to be popular throughout the world. This tower has been falling since 1178, when it has not even been completed yet. And stopped falling only in 2008. Be sure to make an original photo with a tower when visiting Italy.
2. Pizza
Go to Naples to taste the most delicious pizza in the whole world. Here they really know how to cook it. After all, it was in Naples, where the first pizza in the world was prepared.
3. Venice
It is the famous city on the water and it is really very nice. Venetian carnival, an excellent promenade and, of course, gondolas that drive tourists through numerous channels this is all that Venice is famous for. You should hurry up to see this city.
