We were in Naples for a few days and since Naples is the birthplace of pizza we enjoyed a lot of that. The pizza is very simple usually just sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a topping or two - they are usually made personal size and aren't cut into slices.
While in Naples we took a short train ride to visit the historical Pompeii. Pompeii is an ancient Roman city which was buried after a volcanic explosion, after discovering the city's demise it was recovered and made into a historical site. Following Naples, we headed to Florence by train.
Florence was probably my favorite city in Italy. The city is absolutely beautiful, its surrounded by water, historical basilicas, and cobblestone streets. The food was also amazing, we had some of our best meals here. During our stay, we pretty much walked around and explored - going to a few different museums, churches, shops and more. The most memorable thing we saw was Michelangelo's David. You have to buy tickets to get into the museum and trust me purchasing before you get there is important because the line gets extremely long.
To end our time in Italy we took a flight to Venice. Venice is known for being a city surrounded by water, it's beautiful and like nothing I had ever seen before - a place I had always dreamed to go to when I was young. They have boat taxis called gondolas that people use to get around since the city is prominently surrounded by water, there were very few cars that I saw. Venice is a very tourist spot so food and gondola rides can be pricey, so if you're on a budget I recommend doing research on where you eat.
Overall - Italy was an amazing place, some of the best food I've had, and so many beautiful historical landmarks and buildings to explore that are nothing like we have in the U.S.
