If you are planning a trip to Italy this year then there are three places you must see when there. This country is rich in culture and the people are really friendly to foreigners as well. Here are three of my top picks for places to see when in Italy, which I call Italy Travel Guides Best Places to See!

Italy Travel Guides Best Places to See No. 1: Academia hosting some of the oldest and most priceless statues and sculptures in the world. This place is so rich in culture that it is literally bursting at the seams. One must-see here is the statue of David, amongst many other famous works.

Italy Travel Guides Best Places to See No. 2: Uffizi Gallery (Galleria degli Uffizi) one of the oldest art galleries in the world. This place has a work done by almost every great art master you can think of. If there is one reason to visit Italy, it's Uffizi.

Italy Travel Guides Best Places to See No. 3: Duomo - Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe, this place is simply breath taking. Much like the Sistine Chapel, the cathedral is adorned with hand painted ceilings and gold and silver crusted hallways, and of course the world famous stained glass workings in and around it.
