One place that left a strong impression on me was Italy. I visited it last summer with my family during our vacation. It had always been a dream destination for all of us because of its rich history, stunning architecture and sculptures. During our trip, we visited several famous cities including Rome, Venice and Florence. In Rome, we explored historical landmarks like the Colosseum and the Vatican City. In Venice we enjoyed relaxing gondola ride through the beautiful canals which was a completely new experience for us. We also tasted authentic Italian dishes such as pizza, pasta and burrito. Furthermore everything was absolutely delicious and paratable. What mesmerized me the most was the country’s unique combination of history, culture and natural beauty.
