Italy

Everyone's favorite boot is like a small continent with vastly different landscapes, dialects, and food cultures. It also has the most World Heritage sites in the world (59 of them). The sun often shines over Bel paese (The beautiful country) but what really warms is the renowned hospitality and the sense of life and color that permeates everything. The love poured over the food (this food!) is also captivating. La dolce vita is best experienced on a hiking trip or cycling trip, without filters.
