Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Sacro Monte di Ossuccio

Fourteen baroque chapels climbing a hillside path through olive terraces to a sanctuary, with the lake below the whole way. A world heritage site, free, and almost never busy. About an hour up at a walking pace, and the view back down is the reward.
