00:00What's up guys, my name is Ryan and I've spent the last few summers exploring the wonderful

00:05country of Italy and I want to show you my favorite places so here is my Italy top 10.

00:18Italy has to be one of my all time favorite countries.

00:21It's home to some of the world's most fascinating history, stunning towns, and pure Mediterranean

00:26vibes from the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to the jaw dropping coast of Sardinia, Italy

00:31has it all.

00:32Let's start this video off at the incredible Amalfi Coast.

00:35I have to say this is one of the most beautiful places not just in Italy but all of Europe.

00:41The Amalfi Coast is located in southern Italy about a 3 hours drive from Rome.

00:45It's just hard to believe this place exists.

00:47Now one of the most well known towns on the Amalfi Coast is Positano.

00:51When you see this place in real life you won't believe it.

00:54It's hard to beat the backdrop of the mountains filled with colorful villas against the Mediterranean

00:58sea filled with boats and yachts.

01:00If you can handle the skinny roads I definitely recommend just driving along the whole entire

01:05coastline and seeing all the beautiful towns.

01:07One notable place on the coast is the city of Atrani.

01:10It's one of the best preserved medieval towns on the Amalfi Coast.

01:13If you want a more adventurous activity you can take a hike on the path of the gods.

01:18Special thanks to my friend Logan Armstrong for helping me out with footage.

01:22He has an awesome vlog of the Amalfi Coast that I'll link in the description below.

01:27Anyways the path of the gods is a 6-kilometer trail that takes you above the cliffs of the

01:31coast.

01:32You will get some of the most jaw-dropping views, I mean just unreal.

01:35Now the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast is around May or early fall.

01:38You'll be able to miss the summer crowds while still enjoying the warm Mediterranean weather.

01:44Now just off the coast there's an incredible island called Capri.

01:47Now to get to Capri you can take a 45 minute ferry from Naples for around 20 euros.

01:51Now one of my favorite features of the island is the Faraglione.

01:55It's an impressive sea stack that juts out of the island.

01:58There's this little archway.

01:59If you're sandy you can drive a boat through.

02:01When you do go to Capri I definitely recommend renting a boat.

02:05That'll be the best way you can see the entire island and find all its hidden grottos and

02:09just jaw-dropping coastline.

02:10Now after Capri and the Amalfi Coast we're going to head up to Northern Italy to visit

02:14the Dolomites.

02:15I spent several weeks exploring the Dolomites and I consider it to be some of the greatest

02:20days of my life.

02:21One of my favorite places in the Dolomites is Ciceta.

02:24The green grass slopes contrasted with the jagged mountain ridge makes for one of the most

02:29unbelievable landscape combos in the world.

02:31Now to get to Ciceta I took two gondolas up the mountain and made it to the top.

02:35When I got there the clouds covered half the mountain making it from one of the best views

02:39I've ever gotten and places like this just really spark your imagination and make you

02:44feel like a kid again.

02:45I hope everyone can witness the power of Ciceta at least once in a life.

02:49Now another magical place nearby is Alpe de Susi.

02:53It's home to the largest high alpine meadow in Europe.

02:55The backdrop of the Sassolungo mountain with the farm huts creates a scene straight out

03:00of a dream.

03:01Another must visit place in the Dolomites is Trechimi de Lavaredo.

03:05Now I love this place so much.

03:06I spent four days exploring the area I mean there's just so much to see here.

03:10The Dolomites will have a special place in my heart and I hope you all can visit them

03:14one day.

03:15Now after hiking the Dolomites we're going to head over to Lake Como.

03:18Now located at the base of the Alps Lake Como is a sight to see.

03:22The lake is shaped like an upside down letter Y and it's known for its picturesque scenery

03:27and luxury villas.

03:28Lake Como has been named one of the world's most beautiful lakes and I totally understand why.

03:32Now when you're there you can walk the streets of Bellagio or take a ferry to the other lakeside

03:37villages.

03:38Celebrities such as George Clooney have a village here.

03:40I mean hey if I had the money I'd probably buy one too.

03:43After Lake Como we're going to head to the coast to visit Cinque Terre.

03:47Now Cinque Terre is made up of five seaside villages that date back to medieval times.

03:52The small fishing villages have lined the coast for thousands of years.

03:55During the middle ages the villages started to be attacked from pirates so fortifying walls

04:00were built to protect them from any future raids.

04:03Now the small town of Vernazza is one of my favorites.

04:06It has the only natural port of Cinque Terre and remains one of the truest fishing villages

04:11on the Italian Riviera and I just can't get over these colorful houses and the beauty of

04:15these cities.

04:16It's just hard to beat the charm of these Italian villages.

04:19After Cinque Terre we're going to head to the second largest island in the mediterranean,

04:23Sardinia.

04:24With some of Europe's best coastline, pristine beaches, and the clearest water I've ever

04:28seen, Sardinia is the place you gotta go.

04:31Now one of the most impressive spots on Sardinia is the Boundé coast.

04:35It's 40 kilometers of coastline that's made up of massive limestone cliffs and secluded

04:40beaches.

04:41Now special thanks to my friend The Dronebook for helping out with footage.

04:43He has one of the best videos on Sardinia and I'll link it in the description below.

04:47There's so many great places in it.

04:49Now the Boundé coast isn't the easiest place to reach.

04:52Most places require a hike or a boat ride so if you go I definitely recommend renting

04:57a boat so you can see all the coasts.

04:59Now one of my favorite places is Cala Gororice.

05:01It has this insane rock formation coupled with crystal clear water.

05:05I mean I would just do anything, be cruising on a boat there right now.

05:08I mean it's just a freaking paradise there.

05:10Now after Sardinia we're going to head back to the mainland to visit Italy's capital

05:14of Rome.

05:15Now Rome may be one of the most famous and iconic capitals in the world.

05:19Its history spans over 28 centuries with its founding taking place in 753 BC.

05:26Ancient Rome's architecture stands today and draws millions of tours each year.

05:30One of the most well known structures of the capital is the Colosseum.

05:33It's this oval shaped amphitheater that was completed in 80 AD.

05:37It was the largest amphitheater built and could hold anywhere from 50 to 80,000 spectators.

05:42You can just marvel its structure from the outside or take a guided tour to witness the

05:47interior.

05:48One of my favorite attractions is the Trevi Fountain.

05:50It's a baroque styled fountain that was built in 1762.

05:53I mean there's just so much to see in Rome.

05:55I hope you can all visit it one day.

05:57After Rome we're going to head south to visit the region of Puglia.

06:01Now located on the boot hill of Italy, Puglia is a region famous for its whitewashed towns

06:06and magnificent coastline.

06:07One of my favorite places in Puglia is Pugliano Amare.

06:12It's a stunning town right on the Adriatic coast.

06:14What I love about it is how the city is built right on the sea cliffs.

06:17I mean they're just on there so perfectly that it looks like they're going to fall off.

06:21There's some restaurants built into the caves on the sea cliffs.

06:24I mean it's just such a cool spot.

06:26One of the most famous places in the city is Cala Porto.

06:29It's probably the most recognized place in all of Puglia.

06:31It's a stunning beach that's surrounded by cliffs coupled with crystal clear mediterranean

06:37water.

06:38I mean just pure paradise there.

06:39Afterwards we're going to head to the island of Sicily.

06:41Now Sicily is the largest island in the mediterranean.

06:44It's just full of culture and fascinating history.

06:47One of the most impressive places on the island is the valley of the temples.

06:51Located in the town of Agrigento, it's one of the world's most stunning examples of

06:55Greek architecture.

06:56There were seven temples built here by the Greeks in the 5th century BC.

07:01Unfortunately they were burnt down by the Carthaginians but rebuilt by the Romans 4 centuries later.

07:06One of the most well preserved is the temple of Concordia.

07:09It features the classic Greek pillars.

07:11I mean it just makes you wonder what this must have looked like when it was first built.

07:15While we're still in Sicily we're going to head over to the city of Catania.

07:19What's crazy about Catania is that it lies at the base of the massive Mount Etna volcano

07:24which is 3,326 meters tall.

07:27It's one of the world's most active volcanoes.

07:29I mean just wild to see the ash shooting out the top.

07:32What a crazy yet beautiful city.

07:34Afterwards we're going to head up north to the incredible region of Tuscany.

07:38Now located in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, and artistic legacy.

07:43I mean I've been obsessed with Tuscany ever since I've seen the gladiator.

07:46It's a land full of rolling golden hills dotted with countless little hilltop towns.

07:51I mean it would just be so cool to retire here and live on a Tuscan farm.

07:55One of my favorite cities in Tuscany is San Gimignano.

07:57Now San Gimignano is a stunning medieval city perched upon a hill.

08:01One of the most iconic features of the city is the medieval watchtowers.

08:05Currently there are 14 watchtowers still standing but during its prime there were over 72 towers

08:10with the highest being 230 feet tall.

08:13The towers were built as a result of competing families who wanted to build the tallest and

08:17most grand tower.

08:18I can't imagine how it must have looked like back then.

08:21I guess you could say it was the Manhattan of the middle ages.

08:24San Gimignano's medieval vibe has been a touch throughout time and has become one of

08:28the most popular medieval locations in all of Italy.

08:31After San Gimignano we're going to head to the capital of Tuscany to visit the iconic

08:35city of Florence.

08:36I have to say that Florence is my favorite city in all of Italy and considered to be the

08:41birthplace of the renaissance.

08:43One of the most impressive buildings is the Florence cathedral.

08:46When you look at it you just can't believe how big it is.

08:48It was completed in 1436 and it just amazes me that they were able to engineer such a big

08:54dome back then.

08:55The Ponte Vecchio bridge is another historic site as it crosses the Arno river.

09:00I mean I just can't say enough good things about Florence.

09:02It's such an incredible city.

09:04Well that is it for my Italy top 10 and there's just so many places in Italy.

09:08I could do a top 100 list.

09:10Hopefully I can spend some time there this summer so be expecting a part 2.
