Now that the border is open, the option to travel is limitless! One place that comes to mind for the longest time is Italy.

What is not to love about Italy? The people, the art, the food and the scenery? Chef’s kiss! But today, we won’t be covering the whole of Italy, but instead, the gem of it all; Venezia and Milan.

Let’s see which is the best city in Italy to visit? Will it be Venezia? Milan? Or both?

Although the Italian border is already open for Malaysians, there are still travel requirements needed to be met before they can be permitted entry into the country. So, before you start packing your bags, be sure to check out Traveloka’s COVID-19 Info and Requirements first.

There are various major airlines departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport arriving at Rome Fiumicino Airport, which is located in Rome.

It is approximately visited by almost 43 million passengers annually. Non-stop flight time is between 19 hours and 35 minutes only.

The most commonly used airlines are Qatar Airways. Qatar Airways operates two times weekly, and it will fly you to Madrid as well. This flight time is on the current updated system, and it may change in future.

The finest months to visit Italy are April, May, September, and October. These are the peak months of Spring and Fall, respectively. They are free of the winter chill and enjoy lots of bright sunshine.

The excellent weather and absence of crowds make these months ideal to visit Italy and discover it in its natural condition. It is also a great country to visit in the first part of May.

Summer, and especially August, are not recommended months for sightseeing. The blazing heat, the prevalence of mosquitoes and vermin, and the overabundance of people make it hard to enjoy Venice at its best.

Specifically in Venice, visitors who want to participate in one of Venice's famed carnivals or festivals can organise their vacations around that event.

Winter is the greatest time to travel if you want to get the best deals on flights and hotels.

Also commonly known as Venice, is a city in northeastern Italy that serves as the Veneto region's capital. It is well-known for its lovely surroundings, artwork, and largely Venetian Gothic architecture. The city is also famous for its interconnecting canals and gondola trips.

The city is gorgeous and spectacular since it combines romance and culture in equal parts. This location is unlike anything you've ever seen, even if you've seen it in movies and images; it's just surreal! Water glistens everywhere in this magnificent city, with canals replacing roadways.

The Piazza San Marco is a magnificent place where four of the most popular sites in Venice are located.

Not only that, but the piazza is also the main public square in Venice itself. If you are looking to see how the local scenery is in Venice, this is definitely the place for you.

As mentioned earlier, this place has four of the most popular sites in Venice within walking distance from each other; they are the Torre dell Orologio, the Campanile and the Doge’s Palace. The place is surrounded by historical architecture and stunning views from each corner. La Piazza is worth the trip.

Another interesting activity you can do is taking an exciting trip on the Grand Canal. It is one of the main transited waterways in Venice.

The waterway runs throughout the city of Venice and opens up visitors on Vaporetto (also known as a water bus that became the main transportation method to explore the canal) to the beauty of Venice.

On the boat ride, visitors can see up close the uniqueness of each building or monument that they will pass by.

One thing you should remember is that because of how popular the canal is to tourism, you should be aware of scams roaming around when you want to ride the Venetian gondolas, water taxis or the Vaporetto.

Milan, a renowned worldwide metropolis and the capital of the Lombardy region, is well recognised for its fashion.

A major European city, it is most recognised for its fashion, art, culture, and tourism. It is Italy's most populated city. It also houses the Italian stock market.

Milan's theatres, museums, and landmarks make it a famous tourist destination. It boasts a high number of Michelin star accreditations and is home to renowned football clubs such as AC Milan and FC Internazionale.

Milan Cathedral is the first place you should visit when you visit Milan. Also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Nativity of Saint Mary is a majestic piece of history to witness.

It took nearly six centuries to finish this 520 foot in length and 302 foot in width cathedral and the results remain astonishing up until this day. It is considered to be the second-largest church in Europe and possibly larger than the popular St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City.

Grand Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is suitable for those who love classic architecture and design, plus for those who also like shopping at the same time.

Located right in the middle of Milan by Guiseppe Mengoni, it is a legendary architect that made this huge landmark stands through time.

The landmark was officially opened in 1890. Today, it holds the record as the oldest shopping gallery in Italy.

Be sure to always look up when you walk through the walls of the galleria. The iron-and-glass roof will provide you with the feeling as if you are shopping in heaven.
