Today’s post brought to you by the letter ‘T’
There’s another Theme Day coming up here at b5’s Travel & Culture Channel, and the theme is the letter ‘T’. In that spirit, here are my favorite European destinations which begin with T:
Ticino - this southern, Italian-speaking region of Switzerland is the best of both worlds: clean and well-organized like Switzerland, passionate and full of delicious food like Italy. And it’s absolutely gorgeous, to boot. Ticino includes the lake cities of Lugano and Locarno, as well as castle-filled Bellinzona.
Taormina - this gorgeous Sicilian town is home to one of the most breathtaking ruins I’ve ever seen: a Greek amphitheater which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.
Tampere - I haven’t been there yet, but this Finnish city is on our Scandinavian itinerary for the summer.
Tuscany - it’s hard not to fall in love with this region of Italy, with its rolling green landscape, hilltop towns, and insanely delicious dining.
Thessaloniki - Greece’s second city is supposedly a joy to visit, with a much less touristy feeling than Athens. At least that’s what my friend from Thessaloniki tells me…
Turin (Torino) - this northern Italian city doesn’t make it onto many travelers’ itineraries, but it does have a certain charm worth exploring.
