Italy, known for its rich history and amazing food, is a bucket list destination for many people. Travel from coastal towns to the mountains, or get lost in the winding streets of medieval cities. I find myself recommending a trip to Italy to everyone I know.
Where to Begin?
Located in the Mediterranean, Italy has hot summer and mild winters. No trip here is complete without stepping into a cathedral at least once and treating yourself to some gelato. Everyone is welcome to live out their own Eat, Pray, Love fantasies here.
What to Do?
I spent many hours walking through the streets of each city trying to find hidden gems in their stores and cafes. I'd recommend taking a day to get lost and see where you end up.
Italy has no shortage of historical sites. From towering cathedrals crafted to obtain God's approval to the smallest restaurants that have been passed down from generation to generation, a trip here is like walking through a history textbook. I once went on the hunt in Ravenna to find the Dante's final resting place.
Eat lots of food! I have an entire album of photos on my phone dedicated to all of the amazing food I had when I was in Italy. Eat the pastas, the pizzas, the cannolis, the carbs, the sweets. Try it all! Each region of Italy has a dish that they originated, so be sure to try it while you're there. think of going on a hunt to try them all!
One of my favorite things to do was hop from city to city. The rail transportation is easy to navigate and can get you to almost anywhere. While staying in Trieste, I took multiple day trips by train to Venice. From Livorno you can get to both Pisa and Florence. You may not have time to pack up and move to multiple cities, so choose a homebase where you can take excursions to other cities nearby.
Why Choose Me?
You should book your trip to me because I have hands on experience traveling through Italy. I can make recommendations to you based on my own experiences and I know how to discover hidden gems that other tourists might not be aware of.
