Italy

Italy is known for its rich history, stunning art, and delicious cuisine. But it also boasts an eerier side. Around a quarter of Italians believe the spirits of the dead return to haunt the living… and with good reason.

Italy boasts urban marvels like the Colosseum and the canals of Venice, the rolling hills of Tuscany and the stunning Amalfi coastline. But as well as these famed treasures, you'll also find hidden gems formed by the fiery forces of nature – volcanic lakes.
