Built for 50,000 spectators, the huge stadium saw games lasting up to 100 days and which sometimes featured naval battles by flooding the stage. Of course, you can&#8217;t enter into the games now, but you can go to Gladiator School to learn the basics of sword fighting.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>READ NEXT: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-things-to-do-in-venice\/\"><b><i>Your expert guide to the 20 best things to do in Venice<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a03.\u00a0Vatican City<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Actually, this isn&#8217;t in Italy at all \u2013 Vatican City is the world&#8217;s smallest country and the heart centre of the Catholic Church. It even has its own postal system. Hidden away in the Vatican Museum is the Bramante staircase, built to allow Pope Julius II to enter his private residence without leaving his carriage in his heavy robes. It&#8217;s a particularly unusual design consisting of a double helix, meaning that people go up on one side, and down on the other, never meeting on the way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3343\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3343\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/06\/2600_eur_2012st.jpg\" alt=\"Bramante Staircase, Vatican City\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bramante Staircase, Vatican City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0Florence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you love art, then head straight for Florence \u2013 you&#8217;ll find nearly a third of the world&#8217;s art treasures, most notably, Michelangelo&#8217;s David. As the origin of Pinocchio, you&#8217;ll also spot little wooden puppets all over this beautiful city. Make sure you take a walk across the Ponte Vecchio \u2013 famous for the shops on both sides of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Pisa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How could you possibly leave Italy without the classic photo holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa? It&#8217;s now slightly curving from various efforts to keep it standing, but it&#8217;s currently stable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Pompeii<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get a unique glimpse into Roman Italy &#8211; Pompeii is amazingly preserved following the eruption of nearby Vesuvius, buried for almost 2,000 years before being discovered.

You&#8217;ll also find an amazing blue grotto hidden along the coastline \u2013 you have to duck on the boat to get in, but the glow inside is unearthly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a010.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Italian food<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OK \u2013 so it&#8217;s not technically a sight, but it&#8217;s still not to be missed. The food is one of the main draws of going to Italy with everyone desperate to try authentic thin crust pizza and mouth-watering pasta. And if that&#8217;s the reason you&#8217;re travelling, you have to stop in Bologna \u2013 the home of Bolognaise sauce, Parma for their local ham, and there&#8217;s all the olive oil, wine, and gelato to consider \u2013 it&#8217;s foodie heaven. Why not try making some of these delicious treats for yourself?<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Verona<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Verona is an instant hit with anyone who admires Shakespeare&#8217;s Romeo and Juliet.
