Where Should I go: Tuscany or Campania?
Tuscany
The art, the food, the land, the architecture! You can't go wrong with Tuscany. From the winding alleyways of Florence to the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, this dynamic and beautiful region of Italy has something to offer for everyone. After exploring the world class art and architecture in Florence, visitors should also experience Siena, Pisa, Montecatini, and more. The region is located on Italy's west coast bordering the Tyrrhenian sea. It is one of the most famed and popular parts of the country and it won't disappoint.
Campania
Campania is the southwestern region of Italy encompassing the Amalfi coast, Naples, Salerno, Pompeii, and many more of the most popular destinations in Italy. A rugged and mountainous region, Campania is known for its beautiful yet expensive coastline with clear blue water, amazing food, and rich cultural history. Agriculture is one of the main industries in the region, and lemons grow in abundance. Limoncello and Crema di limone have become very popular and tasty drinks for locals and tourists alike. The Amalfi coast is perhaps the most highly regarded area for tourists, although other nearby areas host similar experiences for a much lower cost. The coastline around Naples, for example, tends to be cheaper. The islands of Capri and Ischia offer unique and stunning resort-like atmospheres with an Italian feel, but for a hefty price. Outside of Naples, visitors can find Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient archeological sites made famous by their "frozen in time" remains from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
