13 Pictures of Italy That are Mind-Blowingly Beautiful

BY: Andy Seifert |Sep 6, 2019

Maybe you've heard plenty about Italy. The tantalizing food. The jaw-dropping scenery. The laid-back culture. But if you haven't actually been to Italy, you can't fully know what it's like.

We can't recommend enough adding Europe's Boot to your bucket list. But if you need a little more inspiration, just scroll down. We searched Instagram and collected the most gorgeous pictures of Italy we could find. From whimsical Venice to the waterside mountains of Lake Como, this country leaves us breathless every time we see it.

 

The Vatican Museums, Rome

 

A post shared by Monika Bl (@moni.ble) on


Technically, Vatican City is not in "Italy," it's its own sovereign principality in the middle of Rome. But we couldn't resist sharing the exquisitely detailed Gallery of Maps inside the Vatican Museums.

Arnolfo Tower, Florence

 

A post shared by DORIAN PELLUMBI (@dorpell) on


This image actually captures two of Florence's most beloved structures: Arnolfo Tower of the Palazzo Vecchio is seen in the distance. But the picture is taken from Giotto's Bell Tower, a campanile on the site of Il Duomo.

Venetian Canals

 

A post shared by Jacopo De Michelis (@geidiemme) on


Nothing in the world can prepare you for Venice's charming canals. And while everyone is focused on the Grand Canal, so many smaller neighborhoods offer quiet scenes like this—some of the best pictures of Italy are found in the less touristy sections.

Cinque Terre

 

A post shared by S A N Y (@doounias) on


After Venice and its canals, Italy's most picturesque region has to be Cinque Terre, a collection of five cliffside towns along the Mediterranean.

 

Ponte Garibaldi, Rome

Stretching across the Tiber River, Ponte Garibaldi is a favorite photo op for those taking a Roman river cruise.

Tivoli

 

A post shared by Davide ⚓️ (@davideor94) on


Some of Italy's most peaceful places are its side streets and alleyways, like this garden-laden scene in Tivoli, a town about 20 miles north of Rome.

 

Basilica di Santa Croce, Florence

 

A post shared by Riccardo Brig Casarico (@brigrc) on


Beautiful on the outside, Basilica di Santa Croce is especially historic on the inside—it's the final resting place of Michaelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.

Siena, Tuscany


Siena is one of the gems of Tuscany, known for its rolling hills and picturesque vineyards, making it an ideal spot to take Italy photos. You can see some of the geography in the background of this picture of the Siena cathedral.

The Island of Burano, Venice


Even more colorful than Venice is the smaller island of Burano, located about 30 minutes north of Venice (an express ferry stops here and Murano, the island renowned for its blown glass). If you love to show off your Italy photos after a vacation, both are a must-visit.

Lake Como


If you've come to Italy to relax, go to Lake Como. The mountainside lake, located on the border by Switzerland, is dotted with small, tourist-friendly towns, plus the homes of George Clooney, Madonna, and Richard Branson.

 

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan


Considered the first shopping mall in the world, the Galleria in Milan wows visitors with its spectacular iron-and-glass ceiling.

Doge's Palace, Venice

 

A post shared by Nina Akimkina (@seem0na) on


The Doge (essentially Venice's mayor or king) lived in this palace for nearly six centuries, and it's a prime example of Ventian architecture.

The Pantheon, Rome

 
Built by Marcus Agrippa in the early second century, the Pantheon is perhaps Rome's best preserved example of ancient Roman architecture.
