I’m going on my first trip to Italy later this year and this video just relieved so much anxiety I’ve been having, thank you SO much for all the in depth info and tips !

Great job on this video Christina. Really well researched and presented, and the tips you gave, would make for a mostly hassle-free experience. Visitors can also look into special events that are happening during the time of their visit, and take advantage of those, especially in smaller villages. Wine festivals, or pasta making workshops, really get you to experience the culture from a grounded perspective, since you interact with the locals more, and get a better understanding of the local lifestyle. (Just my 2cents.)

I went to Italy in 2015 I went to the touristy spots Sorrento, Rome and Capri Island for my first time traveling international anywhere it was my top country to see next to Greece I did these two together had a amazing time. I definitely want to go back and visit the lesser known areas I love hidden gems I'm not a crowds person definitely love traveling shoulder or off season I just worry about it raining a lot which I hate but overall Italy is a beautiful country.

This is so helpful! I sent it to my husband and demanded he watch it ahead of our trip so he won't get too much of a culture shock. Thank you so much Christina :)

Il tuo video mi ha fatto capire che, tante cose che credevo normali, non lo sono tanto... aperitivo, caffe al bancone, stare seduti al ristorante, fare passeggiate in centro x vedere le vetrine, mangiare in ordine le portate... però forte vedersi con gli occhi diversi.
Un mio consiglio: godetevi la vacanza, state in un posto o due, non girate come pazzi x vedere tutto. Godetevi le piccole cose, il tempo di guardarsi in giro o in alto (tante cose splendide sono sugli edifici) e cercare sempre le iniziative di ogni comune, abbiamo tante fiere, tanti ritrovi, tanti concerti...tutto online
Benvenuti a tutti.❤❤❤

We’ve been to Italy 2 times and rented cars, rode trains, visited museums and attractions and you are spot on with all of these tips!

Great tips!! Most comprehensive I've seen so far❤. I lived in Italy for 6 months with a family and they really didn't serve me that much food which was surprising and so I went to the local convenience store and they have food set out, just olives and munchies and it was free. ( I bought a beer so as not to be rude) Really helped me through the day.

[Caazza]
