And to be able to that, you need to subdue yourselves with these five-must-do activities:
Visit Galleries and be artsy!
At the minute you step foot on the land of Italy, it is a top priority of you to experience its art galleries and since it is the homeland of artists, your artistic side will surely show-off. Visit and see the granduer art forms at Pinacoteca di Brera, one of the most visited galleries in Milan which houses the eerily realistic Dead Christ by Mantegna and Supper at Emmaus by Carravaggio. Another gallery to visit is the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana which contains an early artwork by the famous Leonardo da Vinci called The Musician. There's also this must-go and never to miss gallery named Uffizi Gallery also known as Galleria degli Uffizi which is the oldest and the most famous art gallery in Europe and in the world. Thus, galleries are a must when in Italy!
Row your boat through the Grand Canal
Of course, this famous canal is a must. This canal is called by many names like Canal Grande by Italians and Canalasso by Venetians. It's one of the landmarks of Italy and missing this would be a great regret in your part as this is considered as the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Paddling your way through it is the best way to explore Venice and most people who have experienced it would say that this is the way Venice is meant to be seen. So, row your boat in the Grand Canal and escape from the usual road-traffic and indulge yourself in Venice's water-traffic.

Vatican is a place not only for Catholics but for all especially with its grandeur and elegant architectural designs, every one call fall in love with it.
Climb Mount Vesuvivus
Who doesn't want to see a place from above, right? And so climb this inactive volcano and hit two birds at a time. One, is that on top you get to see the pit of the mountain where the smoke and steam are coming out. It would really be an experience! Secondly, you get to capture the panoramic view of Naples, the small city that is over-looking when you're on Mount Vesuvivus.
Get in and envy Frassasi Cave
Last but definitely not the least must-activity to accomplish is visiting Frassasi cave or Grotte di Frasassi.
