    Horrifying things Tourists have done in Italy

    The sad tales of Horrifying things Tourists have done in Italy just brings out the worst of tourists misbehaving in Italy, Italy being one of the most visited countries in the world, but sadly it comes with its consequences. Spare The Art…for the Children! Graffiti … Is it really Art?? At what point does graffiti become art? Just how far do we have to go to make defacing more about art and less about dissension? And before we get to the stage where we are talking about self-expression, do we have the right to do this to art from centuries or even millennia back? Of the two above pics, one…

    ITALY

    Italia (Italy) is a country very rich in history, food, traditions, landscapes and culture and I’m lucky to be able to not only Travel in Italy but also LIVE IN ITALY! Traces of Italy’s great past having been home to the Roman Empire, its history can be found all over the country. The best way to experience the history & culture of Italy is by immersing in some towns and villages. Let me break it down for you what Italia is composed of: There are 20 Regions in Italia, these are ; REGIONE (REGIONS) CAPOLUOGO (CAPITAL) Abruzzo L’Aquila Basilicata Potenza Calabria Catanzaro Campania Napoli Emilia Romagna Bologna Friuli-Venezia Giulia Trieste…

    RAVELLO, Amalfi Coast

    Breathtakingly beautiful, Ravello sits above the Amalfi Coast’s seaside fishing villages. Ravello is also known as The Balcony Of The Coastiera Amalfitana. Ravello, unlike the majority of towns on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, is not on the sea. Perched on a hilltop more than 1200 feet (~365 meters) above the Mediterranean and far removed from the crowds that flock to the sea towns of Amalfi and Positano, Ravello is the hidden treasure on the Coastiera Amalfitana. Its villas and vistas have enchanted visitors for centuries. Famous actors, authors, composers, and artists have come here for refuge and inspiration. Join me on my Adventures in Italy!

1️⃣ Plan and book in advance: Popular tourist attractions such as Colosseum & the Vatican museums can get crowded during the summer. Also, use Skip-the-Line Tickets to save time and avoid waiting in long queues.

2️⃣ 📸 If you want to take great pictures on most famous landmarks, you need to arrive super early (like before 7AM).

3️⃣ 🤳Stay vigilant against pickpockets: Keep an eye on your belongings, use a money belt or secure bag, and be cautious of your surroundings, especially in busy tourist spots such as Fontana di Trevi, Spanish steps, and public transportation. Be cautious of street peddlers, the most popular is a guy that approaches you and puts a bracelet on your wrist. First, it’s for free but then he wants you to pay for the bracelet.

4️⃣👮‍♂️Validate Your Train and Bus Tickets: When using public transportation, ALWAYS validate your tickets BEFORE boarding to avoid hefty fines.

5️⃣ 💦Bring a reusable water bottle. Rome has many public water fountains (nasoni) where you can refill your water bottle for free. Stay hydrated, especially during the hotter months.

6️⃣ 👗Be Mindful of Dress Codes: When visiting churches or religious sites, it's important to dress appropriately. BOTH men and women should cover their shoulders and knees. Carry a scarf or shawl to cover up if needed.

7️⃣ 📒Learn Basic Italian Phrases: Locals appreciate the effort, and it can make communication smoother, especially in smaller towns where English may be less commonly spoken. Learn a few basic Italian phrases, greet people with a friendly "Buongiorno" or "Buonasera."

8️⃣ 👟Wear comfortable shoes. The best way to explore Rome is by walking and you’ll walk ... A LOT!

9️⃣ 👩‍💻 Buy tickets from the official websites. The prices vary a lot.

🔟🏧Carry Cash: While credit cards are widely accepted, it's a good idea to carry some cash for smaller establishments, markets, or when traveling to more rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.

EXTRA TIP as one who lives in Italy:

👌 There are NO shoulder seasons, unless it's raining hailstones or floods 😅. So you WILL find crowds.
