I love Italy and finally convinced my family to go there next summer! Any advice for whre to go???

Hello anon! Here I am. I am very excited for you and your vacation!

This is a million dollar question, really. I love my country and I have been lucky enough to travel quite a lot, so I could talk about this for hours. I have decided to stick to the places I know best and that I know turists tend to enjoy. It will not be a comprehensive list by any means, but it should suffice for a first time in Italy. If you need to know more don’t hesitate to ask. Please also consider that it all depends on how long you are going to stay, what you are interested in and what your budget is.

-If you love italy and you are coming here for the fist time the destination that immediately comes to mind is Rome. I would suggest that if you decide to go there you stay for at least four days, or better yet a week. Just think about the fact that I have lived near Rome for 23 years, I have been there countless times, I have moved there for a few months and still every time I go I discover something new. It’s one of those cities like Paris or Berlin: you can spend an entire holiday there and you won’t be disappointed. You will be able to see ancient roman ruins, museums, beautiful squares and baroque fountains, churches that hide treasures like Caravaggio’s three St Mathew’s paintings or Michelangelo’s Moses, Keat’s and Shelley’s tombs (and a museum about them), a monks’crypt made entirely of human bones and SO.MUCH.MORE.

If you prefer not to spend that much time in a single place, you’ll still be able to see the main turistic attractions in one or two days. I coud plan an itinerary for you. Let me know.

-Let’s move north: Venice. Now, first of all, you said you are travelling in the summer. I don’t know where you are from, but just in case: even though it’s in the northern part of the country, Venice in summer is HOT. Hot and humid, which is a deadly combination. I am in love with that city, but I have straight up cursed it in the summer. Be warned, wear a hat and stay hydrated (this goes for all of Italy in the summer, but a lot of people assume Venice would be colder, which is simply not true. )

That said, Venice is definitely worth visiting. I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s an open air museum where you can hear the echoes of a beautiful past that is now a forgotten dream. It can be almost surreal at times, when everything is shrouded in mist or when the sunlight is refracted by water everywhere. My advice is to get a map-Venice is labyrinthin, I got lost a few times when I was there on my own- and don't stick only to the main streets where the crowd of people will take you. Explore. Go to Santa Maria degli Orti, look for the Ponte dei Pugni, find the church of San Zaccaria with its crypt under sea level.

Another piece of advice: most churces in Italy have artwork inside, so in some cities (not Rome) you have to pay to enter. In Venice there are a lot of beautiful churches. I don’t remember exactly which ones are free and which aren’t, and anyway things may have changed since I was there last, but if you have to choose because of the price make sure to visit I Frari, S. Zaccaria, La Salute and S. Marco. About S. Marco in particular: last time I was there you could get into the church for free, but you had to pay 3 euros to see the church’s treasure and another three for the Pala d’Or. Go with the Pala d’Or, it will knock you off your feet. The Palazzo Ducale and the annexed prison are also incredible. There are art museums as well, and a beautiful theatre, and countless other things which, again, I will tell you about if you are interested.

Oh, maybe you know this, but just in case: there are no cars or busses or bikes in Venice. You either have to walk or take a ferry or a gondola.

 IF you go to Venice you might want to consider spending a day in Padua. It’s very close by train and you could see Giotto’s work in the Scrovegni’s chapel.

-Now, Florence.

If you like the Reinassance,you should go. Scratch that, if you like Beauty you should go. I am of the opinion that Piazza del Duomo alone is worth a trip from the other side of the world. And it’s not the only thing. I have walked from square to square to bridge with my mouth hanging open every time I have been there. It is smaller than Rome, though, so potentially you could also visit other cities in Tuscany: Arezzo, Siena, Pisa, all the smaller places in between.

Also, I always tell people who go to Florence to walk to the church of S. Miniato, which is on top of a hill that oversees the city.

Tuscany is a bit expensive, but the food is great- and so is the wine.

-Finally, I want to talk top you about the south. It is so underrated it’s criminal. You could go to Puglia or Sicily, and if you want I can expand on that, but I’d like to tell you about Naples and Campania.

I have seen so many people-Italians too- actually, literally SHUDDER at the thought of going there, when the truth is that Naples is beautiful. Yes, there are neighborhoods you shouldn’t go to, and yes, you have to watch your purse, but I do the same in Rome.There is an entire underground city to explore. There is the Cristo Velato, S. Chiara, three castles that I know of, markets, squares, and the best food you’ll find everywhere in Italy. Seriously, when I go to Naples I eat little the day before because I just know I won’t be able to resist the siren call of street food, pizza, sfogliatelle and babbà.

And not only is Naples beautiful, its surroundings are too. There are Pompeii and Ercolano; there is a place called Baia Sommersa where you can see the remnants of a roman palace under the sea; there is Cuma, with its ruins and the cave where the Sybil spoke to Aenea; there is Pestum with its Greek (actually Greek) temples; Capua with its anfitheatre that is only a bit smaller than the Colosseum; Pozzuoli with the solfatara, aka a little Yellowston that smells of sulfur and is home to geysers; the Vesuvio; the Costiera Amalfitana, which is an experience in and of itself (please google it)

If you are feeling adventurous you can take a ferry and go tu the islands: Capri (amazing but expensive); Ischia , which has thermal waters and hides in itself Nestor’s Cup, one of the earliest examples of writing in Greek; Procida.

-This is already very long. I can suggest a few combinations that might work:

VENICE-FLORENCE

ROME-FLORENCE

ROME-NAPLES

You can do Rome- Venice but keep in mind that they are far from each other.

Trying to do more than two big cities means seeing little of all of them, unless of course you have a lot of time at your disposal.

That’s all. I hope it was helpful, and seriously, you can ask me for more information anytime.

I am only one person, though, with one perspective. Do you want me to tag other italian people in here? your call.

Have a lovely day
