Tropea, one of the most precious gems of Calabria, hosts one of the most spectacular panoramic points in the world: the Belvedere di Tropea, also known as the Most Beautiful View in the World. Located on the promontory overlooking the town, this viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands, making every visit an unforgettable experience.
An incomparable view
The magic of the Belvedere di Tropea lies in its ability to give a 180 degree view on the horizon. From here, you can admire the crystal clear waters of the sea that gently crash on white sandy beaches, while the sunset sun paints the sky of golden shades, red and orange. The sight of the Aeolian Islands on the horizon, especially on clear days, adds a touch of mystery and charm to this already enchanting panorama.
A dive into history
In addition to natural beauty, the Belvedere of Tropea is immersed in a rich history.

Many visitors choose to bring a camera with them to capture the essence of this beautiful corner of the world.
