What percent of Americans would like to visit Italy?

Italy thrives on tourism, and rightly so. No matter what region of the country you go to, there is always something incredible to see. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wait hours in a line to see it, or battle crowds for a good look at something that, in the long run, doesn't always seem worth it. Below are ten things (including one place) that you can safely skip on your next trip to the country--because it's just easier to pretend you've already seen it. Explore locations featured in this Trip List: Rome, Pisa, Sorrento, Florence, Venice, Capri, Naples, Vatican City Category: Worst of Appeals to: Business travelers, Couples/romantics, Honeymooners, Singles, Families with small children, Families with teenagers, Large groups, Seniors, Students, Budget travelers, Active/adventure, Tourists, Pet owners Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall 1. The Colosseum, Rome Colosseum (Colosseo), Rome, Lazio From afar, the Colosseum looks impressive. But once you manage to get past the excruciating long lines, pickpockets, and "gladiators" who try to pressure you into having your photo taken with them, it's not much more than a gutted out arena. 2. Leaning Tower of Pisa Leaning Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa), Pisa, Province of Pisa It's tall, and it leans, sort of like Lurch in The Addams Family. Take a picture of it and go have lunch in a less crowded area of Pisa. 3. The Pantheon, Rome Pantheon, Rome, Lazio Again, like the Colosseum, best viewed from outside. There's not much to see inside the Pantheon except the tomb of Italy's great king, Victor Emmanuele II. At night it's a magnet for aspiring rock stars and Hare Krishnas. 4. Sorrento Sorrento, Campania It's official: Sorrento is now an extension of the United Kingdom. There are enough English-style pubs, football jersey stores, and mediocre restaurants to make you think you're in some sort of Anglicized Little Italy. Sorrento lacks the charm and attractions of other Amalfi Coast towns. 5. Ponte Vecchio, Florence Ponte Vecchio, Florence Florence's famous bridge is a classic example of how we have spoiled that which we have loved: The Bridge is usually so crowded, even at night, that it is difficult at best to enjoy the views, the sights, and the sounds of Florence from this ideal vantage point.
