Holidays in Italy

Where to go for the first time to Italy?

Which cities are best to visit in Italy for the first time? How to plan a cultural holiday in order to understand the country and make the trip as interesting as possible? For the first time going to Italy, I would advise three versions of the program, designed for 7-10 days: Rome, Florence and, possibly, Naples - the right approach if you plan to return and learn the country of sun and wine gradually; Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice - you will get tired, but you will see a lot; Milan, Venice, Verona, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Naples - if you are going to Italy for the first and, most likely, last time.

Old National Gallery

The Old National Gallery is an ideal example of how to show one of the best collections of paintings without overloading the brain in excess of the number of paintings - a collection of German masters of the 18th - early 20th centuries. The gallery also presents filigree sculptures. And the addition to the rather austere German art, so to speak, "cherry on the cake" - the French impressionists.
