The San Gennaro Catacombs hold the remains of the patron saint of Naples, and offer visitors a thrilling glimpse into Italian life through the ages. The oldest sections date way back to the second century AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many major figures from Christianity are buried here, including Saint Agrippinus and Saint Januarius, the patron saint of Naples. With its high vaulted ceilings and expertly restored frescoes, it&#8217;s an awe-inspiring (and only slightly eerie) adventure into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"venue\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-content-ids=\"146325\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-landmark-milan-cathedral-the-duomo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Landmark: <strong>Milan Cathedral &#8211; The Duomo<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ouael-ben-salah-0xe2FGo7Vc0-unsplash-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"The Duomo wins Best Landmark in Italy.\" class=\"wp-image-170196\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@benwksi?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ouael Ben Salah<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/duomo?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c;flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Badge-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169985\" style=\"width:201px;height:120px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c38c52;background-color:#0d1a3c\"><em><em><em><em><em><em>&#8220;<em>It was really nice.

In this case, it\u2019s rare to find a cultural landmark in Italy more remarkable than the Duomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Duomo di Milano took almost six centuries to complete \u2013 luckily it only takes an hour or so to explore. Visitors love adding optional rooftop access to enjoy spectacular views over Milan and beyond it to the Alps on a clear day. The Duomo is a powerful example of human endeavor. It&#8217;s 108 meters high, holds 40,000 people, and is studded with Gothic gravitas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the baptistery to the museum, and the rooftop to the central nave of this renowned church, every element is fantastic: its spires, arches, and stained-glass windows. But the crowning aspect is undoubtedly the famous rooftop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"venue\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-content-ids=\"145637\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-onsite-experience-parco-cavour\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Onsite Experience: <strong>Parco Cavour<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88a21bd0827447229d2255bb8f532af7-1024x557.jpg\" alt=\"Best Onsite Experience award goes to Parco Cavour.\" class=\"wp-image-170197\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c;flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Badge-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169985\" style=\"width:201px;height:120px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c38c52;background-color:#0d1a3c\"><em><em><em><em><em><em> <em>&#8220;The park was so much fun!
