We live near it and we fall in love with the city since the first day. The buildings, the little streets and the story of the city give ah incredible atmosphere that you can not find anywhere else in the world. The best way to appreciate the city is definitely by walking through its streets, the so called &#8216;calli&#8217;, and get lost in them to find new view of the city that you would have not expected. An absolute must is stopping by a &#8216;bacaro&#8217;, a typical Venetian bar where you can have a drink and taste some typical Venetian food. To finish off your night you can not miss the view, from the bell tower in San Marco square, of the lagoon and the light of the city reflecting on it.<\/p>\n<p>Written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/junglebag\/\">Junglebag<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>TURIN<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3532\" src=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin.jpg 729w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/turin-565x374.jpg 565w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hi everyone!<br \/>\nThis is my personal advice to find some wonderful and alternative spots in <strong>Turin<\/strong>. Discovering some perfect and astonishing &#8220;Liberty style&#8221; buildings near the center.<br \/>\nTake the metro from Porta Nuova or Porta Susa station, have a short trip on the first carriage because is a fully automated train. Exit at &#8220;Principi d&#8217;Acaja&#8221; station and go straight ahead you&#8217;ll easly find &#8220;Casa Fenoglio La-Fleur&#8221; witch is a perfect Liberty&#8217;s Maison. Just close the house you can find &#8220;Villino Raby&#8221;. Just turn 180\u00b0 and discover &#8220;Palazzo della Vittoria&#8221;, located in Corso Francia 23, a stunning gothic-Liberty style private mansion.<br \/>\nYou can also find by yourself some classic liberty houses between &#8220;Corso Francia&#8221;, &#8220;via Le Chiuse&#8221; and &#8220;via Cibrario&#8221; streets with many buildings designed by the Architect Pietro Fenoglio (a little secret: if you are in via Cibrario in lunch time do not miss a little china bar at number 3, hand Made dumplings in nothern china style, cheap and delicious).<br \/>\nAfter a little break simply go in &#8220;Piazza Statuto&#8221; and admire pedestrian street of &#8220;via Garibaldi&#8221;, a must for every shop-a-holic. You can end your mini-tour visiting &#8220;Piazza Castello &#8221; with his unique castle-mansion and check for spectacular &#8220;Galleria Subalpina &#8220;, bombed in WWII and completely restored.<br \/>\nHope you&#8217;ll enjoy discovering some hidden treasure in Turin.<\/p>\n<p>Written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gattosandroviaggiatore\/\">gattosandroviaggiatore<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>CINQUE TERRE (Liguria)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3533\" src=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre.jpg 729w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre-565x374.jpg 565w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>An unmissable destination during a trip to Italy are the villages of the <strong>Cinque Terre, in Liguria.<\/strong><br \/>\nLocated a short distance from large cities as Pisa, Genoa, Florence and Milan, they can be included in an itinerary to discover the typical italian villages.<br \/>\nThe ancient fishing villages have become a holiday destination for many who come here to admire the beauty of the caruggi, the narrow streets, to enjoy a beautiful weather even in winter and to walk among the vineyards, observing the dry stone walls.<br \/>\nThe Cinque Terre are recommended<strong> from autumn to spring,<\/strong> when the influx of tourists is less and you can better enjoy the visit of these small villages.<br \/>\nThe train is the recommended way to get around due to the shortage of parking, in summer it&#8217;s very nice to arrive from the sea on the ferries that leave from La Spezia, a city often chosen for overnight stays.<br \/>\nStarting from the closest to<strong> La Spezia<\/strong>, you arrive in <strong>Riomaggiore<\/strong> and here you cannot miss the visit to the Marina to take beautiful pictures of the boats pulled ashore and a walk up to the beautiful Church of San Giovanni Battista.<\/p>\n<p>With a few minutes by train you reach <strong>Manarola<\/strong>, perched on a rocky spur. Going up a little along the main street you come to the Church of San Lorenzo from where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.<br \/>\nGoing down towards the sea you arrive at the ideal point to take beautiful photos of this Cinque Terre village.<br \/>\nPeople who love trekking can go up the path that leads to Volastra, passing between the vineyards, and then go down to <strong>Corniglia<\/strong>, it takes about 2 hours, or you can safely take the train to reach the only village that does not overlook the sea.<br \/>\nFrom the panoramic terrace of the Cornglia you have an excellent view of the coast and appreciate the special beauty of these small villages.<br \/>\nVernazza is a pearl and its marina enchants with its beauty. Here the houses painted in pastel colors contrast with the Church of Santa Margherita which rises from the rocks. To take good pictures, I suggest you set off along the path to Monterosso to see <strong>Vernazza<\/strong> in its entirely.<br \/>\n<strong>Monterosso al Mare<\/strong> is the largest village in the Cinque Terre and the one with a wide sandy beach, but very crowded in summer.<br \/>\nLeaving the modern area next to the station, go left to wander through the streets of the historic center and find the typical caruggi and houses painted in the typical Ligurian colors. Going up towards the convent of the Capuchin Friars you can admire the town from above and find traces of the ancient defensive walls of the castle that once stood here.<\/p>\n<p>Written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/girovagandoconstefania\/\">Girovagando con Stefania<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#admomondo #owtravelers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some of the places I&#8217;ve selected thanks to the stories of the other Momondo Ambassadors to guide you towards the choice of cities and places to visit in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[474],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cinque-terre.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9RGVW-UU","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3528"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3536,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3528\/revisions\/3536"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disciules.it\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
