View from the Duomo rooftop in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance movement.

Booked our hassle free guided tour on @klooktravel_ph. Glad we did because this part of the Florence Cathedral is not accessible if you go on your own.

Detour in Lake Como from Milan, Italy 🇮🇹😍
.
📸@thepinaysolobackpacker
.
Lake Como, in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region, is an upscale resort area known for its dramatic scenery, set against the foothills of the Alps. At the southern shore lies the city of Como, home to Renaissance architecture and a funicular that travels up to the mountain town of Brunate. Nearby, you can find the charming resort town of Bellagio.

Beautiful Como Cathedral 😍
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can find this spot in the lakeside town of Como, Italy. Me and 📸 @thepinaysolobackpacker made our way here on a day trip from Milan. Travel time by train is around 1.5 hours. From here you can hop on a boat and enjoy the scenic views of Lake Como and the quaint old town of Bellagio.
.
Italy is so beautiful!

Must-visit in Venice 😍 The Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal is the oldest in the city. Go early in the morning because this spot is usually filled with crowds. 📸@thepinaysolobackpacker

Soaking up the history at the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. This famous bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.

The best way to explore this unique floating city is by gondola, of course. It's an experience like no other, to see Venice from the maze-like canals. Walking is also a must since it's not possible for cars to pass through the narrow streets. Venice's historical core is fairly compact. You can easily fit many of the major sights in a day. Here are some of the spots we enjoyed visiting:
.
✔️Saint Mark’s Basilica
✔️Piazza San Marco (San Marco Square)
✔️St Mark’s Campanile (Bell Tower)
✔️Doge’s Palace
✔️Bridge of Sighs
✔️Venice Gondola Ride
✔️Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo
✔️Casa di Marco Polo
✔️Casanova House’s in Venice
✔️Parish of Santa Maria Formosa
✔️Rialto Bridge
✔️Grand Canal
✔️T Fondaco dei Tedeschi

It's the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And that someday is yesterday. And this is your life.
