Friends who come to visit Italy, you have to enjoy my country, therefore, take the cappuccino when you prefer ^^, at most the waiter will widen his eyes a little, but the important thing is that you relax. What the video suggests about overpriced restaurants is true, so it is better to look in secondary streets and choose those frequented by Italian workers; during car trips, a good sign is a restaurant with a parking lot full of trucks ^^ truck drivers love to eat well and a good quality - price ratio; you are welcome and have fun in Italy .

Never seat yourself at a restaurant. The couple behind us tried that and got thrown out, while we were graciously seated. Never touch the produce at a food stall; ask first. Always acknowledge the staff in a shop.

I went to Italia in high school and have been dying to get back since. It's gorgeous and as a Catholic who loves rustic architecture, Roman History, art, Italian food, and who is almost 50% Italian I felt right at home.

I love Italy too.
I used to live in 6 different countries and I can definitely say they are the best .
Food, culture, style, history, design, sightseeing, beaches, friendliness, welcoming, warm and much much much more.

My partner and I went to Italy in 2012. We went for 3 weeks, and rented an apartment in Lucca. We felt it was the best way to experience life in Italy. Unfortunately I didn’t learn Italian, I used notes to ask questions, but then had no hope of understanding the reply 😂. I found that it was the women who mostly spoke English. We enjoyed the Italian breakfast experience of coffee, a danish, and panini. We did travel by hire car, to visit my partners grandfathers village, and that was an adventure. Our time there, in our 700 year old apartment was fantastic, we loved every minute. The people were friendly, and the food was fantastic. We had such a wonderful experience that we felt we could have stayed there forever.

3:35 bottom text: it’s POLPETTE, not “polpetti” 🙂 Apart from this little mistake, as an Italian I can affirm that this video is pretty much accurate! To be honest it’s not that true that you should not expect “extreme” nightlife here, it simply depends on where are you going in terms of cities (there are some which are more inclined to nightlife as compared to others, of course) and places within that city (pubs, discos, clubs usually target different types of customers). Enjoy your stay in our wonderful Country, have fun and remember to get home at the end of your vacation a free souvenir you really can’t miss: a piece of Italy in your heart for the rest of your life! 🇮🇹

This Is the most accurate video about travel in i m italian 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Since I'm not a big fan of water, I skipped Venice and, instead, went to Pompeii. It didn't disappoint. Also, if any readers plan to visit Italy in the future, consider adding Assisi to your itinerary ... a small, manageable, clean and adorable town.

[giacomopeters]

For sure, speaking some of the language in the country you visit abroad will open you up to very pleasant surprises! It is appreciated not in just Italy, but worldwide!

[danstoye]

Lived in Italy for 7 years and visited since many times, this is by far the best video I have seen on this topic. More information in 11 mins then most do in 30! And the scenery isn't bad either!

[TheWubBubble]

you can order cappuccino whenever you like dont worry ahah, its just unusual but not a big deal

[mirandolina]

Don't think you can walk around Venice in beachwear, contrary to what some tourists believe, Venice is not a theme park. Don't attempt to dive off bridges in Venice or go for a swim in the canals, you will be HEAVILY FINED and may spend a night in jail.

[clownster]

There is so much to italy than Florence Venice and Rome! I always tell people when they come visit here ... c’è Sardegna, puglia, Sicilia, Napoli, lago di Como, le cinque terre, Tropea. E se andate a Roma, vi raccomando il ristorante osteria da fortunata!

Best part about Italy is not it's food, beaches or monuments. It is the People. Love from India♥️

Well, there's something right about it, picturing the Italian lifestyle as smoother than in other countries across Europe, but after living in Italy for more than 15 yrs, I can guarantee those people also knows how to party. There are many fun locations with some of the most skilled DJs around in the world, not to mention the fancy places if you want to look for special clubs. You just have to know where they are, that's all. And the food around the whole country is top-notch, no matter if you are looking for a good cheap meal or a very special state of the art. Have fun folks! ;-)

My favourite country I have been going there since I was small. Our last trip was to Lido de Jesolo three years ago and this year we are going back to Lake Maggiore. We love the Lakes.

My tip is to not order an espresso every time you need to use a toilet, you'll end up having a cardiac arrest!! Order "un espresso decaffinato" or alternate with something like water or a soft drink!! Some towns and cities are beginning to install automated toilet cubicles but the "full bladder problem" remains a major difficulty, for the residents too.

[elianareginapalomares]

The best place for touring! I've been there twice and become emotional when I seei
Images from there. I cry remembering tastes, art, landscapes, architecture!

[paulkoza]

I've been to Italy a couple of times. My favorite country in EU. Your advice was spot on.

[sanremo_fan]

I can confirm everything is correct, but for 2 things. Italy actually is famous for nightlife (okay, maybe we don't have exactly an Ibiza in Italy, but honestly Ibiza is nowhere else in the world): big cities like Rome and Milan are full of clubs open all year long, but also university cities like Bologna have vibrant nightlife, on top of holiday places like Gallipoli, Sardinia, Eolie Islands and Riviera Romagnola, which bustle with clubs and places where you can spend the night. The second thing is the assumption Italians don't want to talk about politics: Italians LOVE to talk about politics, they do it all the time and, especially if you come from abroad, Italians will be happy to entertain political conversations with foreigners.
