In Italy, there are countless waterfalls; some say more than a thousand. These are our top picks of some of the most popular and worth-visiting waterfalls in Italy:

Cascate del Serio

Whenever you talk or do research about waterfalls in Italy, you will always find Cascate del Serio first. This is the tallest waterfall in Italy, with a height of 315 meters. The waterfall is located 100 km north of Milan in a village called Valbondione in Bergamo city, within the Lombardy region. In Cascate del Serio, three sections of water fall down the mountain. The top section is 166 meters tall, the middle is 74 meters, and the lower fall is 75 meters tall. Altogether, the falls are 315 meters or more than 1000 ft tall. The Serio Falls originated from the River Serio. However, in 1931, a dam was built for electricity generation that stopped water flow. Later, in 1969, an agreement was made for the barrier to be opened five times a year. Whether you’re adventurous or just prefer a relaxing tour, Cascate del Serio has something for everyone. So, if you’re planning a trip to Italy, Cascate del Serio is a must-see. However, since the waterfall can be seen only 5 times a year, you must book your place in advance to watch it. Tourists can visit the Serio Falls between June and October on specific days.
