Top things to do in Italy
1. Tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome
Put the coin in your right hand and throw over your left shoulder. Legend says that if you toss a coin into the fountain over your shoulder, you will one day return to the eternal city.
2. Walking the planks in a flooded Venice
Flooding (acqua alta) can occur at any time, particularly between November and March. "Walking the plank" takes a new meaning in Venice, where boards are deployed to allow movement between the main points of the city when the sea water rises. A good pair of boots is a must in these situations.
3. Eating Pizza in Naples
As true purists, we recommend that you try the most typical pizza, the one with true Campania-made mozzarella di bufala: remember that you will only eat a pizza like this in Naples! One of the pizzerias we recommend is Brandi, a traditional pizzeria that dates back to 1780.
4. Riding a scooter in Tuscany
Catching a gorgeous sunset from the Florence Ponte Vecchio and riding a scooter through the hills of southern Tuscany are unforgettable experiences.
5. Drinking wine and watching the sunset in Cinque Terre
From the sea, the villages of Cinque Terre seem impossibly precarious. After the hike along the famous path that links them all, eat your dinner down by the bay and enjoy the view with a jug of local wine.
6. Bathing in the blue waters of Sardinia
Simply a paradise.
