I Ranked Italy's BEST Cities To Visit (Tier List) 🇮🇹

The Ultimate Italian Trip Itinerary That Will Change Your Life 🇮🇹 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXezhKlviZeeqLs

[@erreticcu]

i think milano, bologna or pisa shold be lower in a list for someone coming from abroad who needs to pick some city and discard others. if you are near pisa, lucca is more attractive, if you are near bologna, rimini is much better (and closer to urbino, that is a graet advice!). if you're in milan, remember that the best thing of milan is the train to rome. italy is not easy for a tourist: we have several wonderful city and dozens of small city you can visit in a couple of days or less (like siena is) but you need a car or a bike to see. po's valley (mantova, parma-don't forget teatro farnese!-modena, reggio emilia, ravenna, rimini, ferrara, padova!!!,venezia), tuscany (lucca, pisa, pistoia, arezzo, cortona, siena, firenze), puglia (bari, andria, matera is close to puglia, lecce, otranto, ostuni, nardò, locorotondo etc), are just the three most famous example of places where you can see lots of wonderful places in few hours but need a car or a bike. if you have few days, i think padova, lucca, rimini, are better choices for strangers than milano, pisa or bologna.

Greg , sei molto simpatico ! Mi ricordi tanto i miei amici all'Asmara .Erano tutti Militari nella Base Radar di Asmara , spesso venivano a casa nostra per assaggiare i ''piatti Italiani '' . Erano gentili e simpatici come te ! Un bacio da mia moglie Svizzero - Italiana !

[@miketranfaglia3986]

Kudos to you Gregor for having Mantua and Turin on your list! These are two of my favorite places that I've been in Italy, and I think both of them are completely overlooked by the vast majority of American tourists, which is a great thing for those in the know. One other overlooked destination which could be paired with a trip to Torino is Stresa on Lake Maggiore. It's kind of a small town, so not in the same league as the cities you're listing here, but it is an amazing base for exploring the lake, which even extends into Switzerland. There's lots of fresh fish from the lake, amazing villas to visit, complete with the white peacocks, and inexpensive boat rides all over the place to really cool destinations. All surrounded by gorgeous mountains! Thanks also for highlighting a few places that I really must go. I have gone through Bologna several times without actually visiting the city, and I desperately want to spend some time there!

Great video! My wife and I will be visiting Italy for the first time in Spring of 25'. We'll be visiting Venice, Lake Como, Florence, San Gimignano, and Rome. We're going to San Gimignano on a day trip because it was always my late parents favorite place in Italy. Anyone ever been there? It looks cool from what I've seen in videos.

[@camillatondelli9263]

@@patrickfitzgerald5118 from an Italian that's a great trip! And a great period to come here as well

[@Laura-fn6fl]

In San Gimignano you will see an amazing view with all the ancient towers. Even skyline was invented centuries ago in Italy 😊 Greetings from a proud daughter of beautiful Tuscany

[@zxrmbxz]

Amazing list!!!! 🇮🇹

[@Savage_Viking]

Everyone has their favorites and I've been to many of these on your list. I would add Cagliari, just because Sardinia needs some love (and their unique foods and best beaches in Europe). Also, for those that love the outdoors anywhere in the Dolomites brings a new perspective on Italy. Great video and thanks.

[@GregorBrown]

Good call!

[@michelegrassi5130]

Thank you Gregor! Hi from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 😊. We are flying to Italy in January for a month. Your video of Best Cities has given us some great options to look into! Can't wait! Thank you again 😊

[@carloduroni5629]

Being that you come from downunder, pls remember that january is deep winter, here. It means quite cold in the North and temperate in the South. Also, all seaside tourist regions will be virtually closed down. We happened to visit the Salento (the "heel" of Italy) in february. Plus side: no crowding whatsoever. Downside: almost impossible to find an open restaurant outside of Lecce. Anyway, it was worthwhile. And if you get a place to eat at, Puglia has one of the best cuisines in Italy. That said by a Northern Italian. Anyway, January-February possibly are the best period for visiting Firenze and Roma, just because it's the least touristic period of the year and you'll likely find some space for walking in the street 😉 Ciao.

[@CKfromTasOZ]

@@carloduroni5629 Thank you for your advice. But, no worries! We live in a tiny town (less than 200 people), in the far south of Tasmania. It's cold here 9 months of the year. So Italy in winter, with less tourists it ideal for us. Thank you again and kindness regards....🙂

Beautiful! I've been in 3 cities on your list! More to go.... Thank you for your video Gregor!

yeaaaaaah ! Mantova mentioned 🎉🎉🎉!!!! best city in italy

It's so good!

Great list. We love Rome and will return in '26. Winter is a wonderful time to visit and also Milan. Then off to Lake Como to walk the Moto Guzzi museum. Am a proud MG owner. Thank you and safe travels.

Sounds great!

Wow fantastic reportage top 👏

Glad you enjoyed it

[@juliemilanovic5681]

Waiting for cities that arent so touristy! Bolzano up north, Trieste north of Venice, Matera in the South, Sulmona in Abbruzzo and in Sicily - Cefalu, Agrigento, Syracusa. Yes l went to most on your List but there are lesser known areas in Italy that never get a mention. For me Rome is my no.1. Naples and below blew my mind last year. Cant wait to get back to Sicily next year .

[@juliemilanovic5681]

One place to go in Rome is the ghetto. The food is amazing . And get in early to Twosizes, best Tiramisu in Rome ❤

[@YouMeandSicily]

Grazie for putting Palermo on your list! But as you know Sicily offers a wide spectrum of experiences unrivalled to others. Please next time you are here let us know!

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks. you are right

[@gmnewlook]

My in-laws have been to Italy five times and they still have regions they haven't visited yet. We're going next summer, and Rome (landing there from YUL), Naples and Amalfi and/or Positano are on the list, with Pompeii as well as Larino (my nonno was born there) and Termoli in the Molise region.

[@_944audiophile]

I did enjoy a day trip to Capaccio-Paestum. The ruins are spectacular

[@francoo.m.]

Siracusa, Alberobello and its Trulli, Paestum, Pompei and Ercolano, Padova, Val d'Orcia, Limone del Garda, Borghetto di Valeggio sul Mincio, San Gimignano, Volterra, Assisi, Valle dei Templi, Dolomiti, Tre cime di Lavaredo, Lago di Como... *More* 👇

[@My-kee]

Gregor, you’re the goat fr 😂

[@jasonalper7898]

Flew into Naples Taxi to Sorento was the first, then Rome, Florence, Montepulciano, Castelluccio.

[@Alex_Rome]

2:21 wait a minute...since when Italy doesn't have big seaside cities? What are Naples? or Genova, Catania, Cagliari, Bari then?

[@miketranfaglia3986]

Siracusa in Sicily is one of the most amazing seaside cities anywhere! Even though it is hardly ignored by tourists, it's not on the radar for most Americans, who seem to think that Syracuse is a college in upstate New York. Taormina is also really cool, but it is a bit touristy. It's surrounded by a bunch of nice little beach towns with hardly any tourists.

[@Alex_Rome]

@@miketranfaglia3986 i agree, Ortigia looks stunning

[@Luca-qy7pt]

Rimini - Ancona - Pesaro

[@ajgorney]

I really liked Firenze and Verona.

[@carlodefilippi6914]

Michelangelo’s “Last Supper”!? Ooops 😂

[@GregorBrown]

doh

[@germanocolla2667]

Essence of Italy? 1) La Pasta ( food ) 2) La Pietra ( stone : symbol of the arts/artistic spirit and material for building and monuments) 3) la Piazza (square : sociality/comunity/friendship) 4) la Mamma ( mother : family/ humanity and sentiments)

[@carloduroni5629]

I'm amazed by th depth and width of your Italian knowledge. Bravo. Only one remark: Romeo and Giulietta place in Verona is little more than a tourist scam. Obviously they never lived there… because they totally were fictitious characters, invented by WS, who, BTW, never visited Italy and knew little if anything about it. Anyway, Verona is a nice city but the best in Veneto region is probably Padova (Venezia is a thing apart) which is the main thing missing from your list.

[@TKTampa]

Great content ! Love your videos, watched a ton before my trip to Florence/ Tuscany in August. Keep up the amazing work.

[@GregorBrown]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Nosense2010P]

My home in Livorno Tuscany is the best but i really like Firenze also

[@qwertylello]

I would have added Syracuse as well, one of the best historical centres of all southern Italy. Also, you call it tier list but I don't really see any tier, this is more like a regular ranking.

[@nicart004]

I was wondering, what is exactly a spritz? Is it an alcoholic fruity drink or a different kind of wine and how it tastes? Just wondering.😛😋😛🤔

Hi, if there is a train strike in Rome at 8am, may I check if public bus services will run at 6am before the strike starts ? Appreciate your help. Thank you so much! From Belinda

I'm assuming that we don't have Monteriggioni tied with San.Gimignano at number one because they don't qualify as city? 😄(Also personal preference but Siena > Firenze aaaaaand, where is Lucca?? )

Talking about Milano… isn’t the last supper from Leonardo da Vinci?😏

[@GregorBrown]

Yes. Sorry

[@mdbenoit]

Firenze, the birthplace of gelato? Isn't it Sicily, where cooks modified the Muslim's version of sherbet? I know it's not really certain, but the Sicilian version makes more sense to me.

[@GregorBrown]

No, it's Florence 😊

[@Liberty_Soundwave]

for sure it is not Florence

[@tyhg22]

Prosecco from Verona? Sorry, no. Amarone or Soave, yes.

[@GregorBrown]

Veneto region

[@fabiesque]

Ehmmm....talking about Milan....La Scala (most prestigious Opera House in the world)?!?!

I'm sorry.It's da vinci for the last supper

[@TravelinDevil76]

Moda21 in Genova. Eat there and thank me later. If you like Pesto Genovese.

[@crazy_Fred]

Reggio Emilia is a town, Emilia Romagna is the region

[@yatithebeast]

My favorite is Firenze and then Rome. I haven’t been to all of these cities, but the only city that I disagree with is Milan. I found the city disappointing besides from the Duomo and the Sforza Castle, but he food was good.

[@leonardogianelli2355]

The region Is called Emilia-Romagna, not Reggio Emilia. Reggio is one of the province of It 😅

[@GregorBrown]

Yeah I got confused
