Italy is one of the most popular countries in terms of tourism thanks to its fantastic food, world-famous historical landmarks, and religious sites. Its most-visited attraction is the Trevi Fountain, likely because of the superstition that tossing a coin there will ensure that you will find your way back to Rome. The Colosseum is another famous attraction in the country and is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites list. The Pantheon, another known landmark, has been around for over 2,000 years. Pilgrims will want to visit St. Peter’s Basilica where the first pope in Catholic history is said to be interred. These are only some of the attractions in the country. Opting to book a homestay during your visit will give you the chance to learn more about the local culture.
