Italy is back to being on everyone's radar now that temperatures across the Mediterranean basin are rising as we bid farewell to the bleak winter months. If you can't wait until summer to experience some of that dolce vita yourself, then you don't want to miss this.

There is a scenic train visiting five of the country's most beautiful coastal towns that costs only $20 to book, and lucky for Americans who are coming all the way from across the pond, it is not a remote spot that's tricky to get to: there are at least four major airports in the vicinity. If it's Italy you have your heart set on this spring, this UNESCO-listed stretch of coast should be at the top of your bucket list.
