Visiting Italy

What do you write about in your blog?

I write about all of Italy, primarily focusing on the larger cities and popular resort towns on the coast and by the northern lakes.

I cover topics like transportation to Italy and within Italy, hotel and restaurant recommendations, top 10 lists for things to do in major cities, festivals and holidays, and tips for travel in Italy.

Why Did You Start Your Blog?

I was inspired to start my blog because I have travelled extensively in Italy and I wanted to share my first-hand knowledge with others.

So much of the information I found online prior to my travels in Italy was incorrect or unreliable that I wanted to create a trustworthy site that could give people relevant information for their trips to Italy.

Advice

  • Do a lot of research before booking internal travel. It's often less expensive to take a train than to fly, and there are many different cost options for trains.
  • Seek out deals and discounts for hotels and city passes, as there are often promotions that can save you money
  • Find a hotel that is a unique place to stay as opposed to a large chain. Your accommodation is part of your travel experience, and staying somewhere unique can make for a very special trip.
