From its capital Rome to many different cities and small towns, Italy has a lot to offer to anyone looking for an adventure, a lesson in history, beautiful beaches and nature, and many other things. If you’re looking for some lesser-known destinations in Italy for your next trip, these cities are the real hidden gems.
Alghero
While you can enjoy its beauty all year long, Alghero is a perfect destination for a summer vacation. Located in Sardinia, this island city has cobbled streets and beautiful, colorful buildings, plenty of museums and churches, and many different stores for the best shopping experience.
Gaeta
Locals often head to Gaeta for vacations, but you’ll rarely meet international tourists in the city. We encourage you to visit the Lazio region and Gaeta as it’s only a two-hour drive from Rome or Naples and has so much to offer.
Lecce
Lecce is the capital of Salento and a city with many historical and cultural attractions. It’s often called the Florence of the South because of its significant historical importance. The architecture, streets, museums, restaurants, and shops here promise a vacation of your dreams.
