Italy Travel Guide
How can one describe Italy? Pasta and pizza? Rome and Caesar? Romance? These are
but a few words that will most likely to pop out of one's mouth when you think
of Italy, but this vast country offers a whole lot more than those six words.
Italy is filled with culture, color, activities and excitement. Spending one day
at one place isn't enough for you will surely want to take in all of what Italy
has to offer.
Spring is one of the best seasons to experience Italy as the
landscapes explode with beautiful flowers and captivating sceneries. If you want
to catch all the amazing festivals then Italy in autumn is the best season. You
will get to see various activities such as the grape harvest, chestnut and
hazelnut sager, truffles festival and a lot more. Italy during the winter season
is a fabulous vacation idea if you want to see the Alps firsthand. Fun
activities such as skiing and snowboarding are famous during this season.
For your stay in Italy to be memorable, a comfortable place to rest is a must
for your tired and weary body to regenerate for more fun and activities. There
are many different accommodations that you can choose from: hotels, hostels,
private Bed & Breakfast, apartments, and guesthouses. Hotels are the more
popular choice but it's up to you where you plan on taking a breather.
Shopping is one activity most people love to indulge in. In Italy, shopping
can be a little hard on the budget as some merchandise can be expensive. Street
markets are available for bargains and unique stuff to bring home as souvenirs.
To be able to take in Italy's beauty, walking on the streets and exploring
quaint shops and surroundings is a must. If you plan on going to other cities,
the Eurostar is the best option for transport. It can be a bit pricey but it
guarantees a comfortable trip and the schedules are always on time.
As a lot of people know, Italian cuisine is one of the most delectable
gastronomic delights in the world. Restaurants, bistros and cafes are located in
every nook and cranny in Italy. Deciding on what to eat depends entirely on what
you are currently craving for. There are some restaurants that do not have menus
because the cook always prepares what is fresh on the market. The upside? Equal
rates for all the food that is served. If you're worried about how to order your
food, just ask the waiter and he will gladly tell you what's being served and he
will even make a suggestion on what is good. Drinking wine is probably a custom
in Italy so do try their exquisite wine and bask in its deep flavors. For coffee
lovers, cafes are strewn all over Italy for aromatic flavors and stress-reducing
tastes that will ease your stress as you watch people walk by.
Make sure to pack all your essentials, a camera to capture all the
beautiful things around you and you must never forget money. Italy is a
beautiful country with a beautiful language filled with beautiful people. What
more can you ask for?
