    My advice is to avoid Italy, especially Rome, and good luck finding a restaurant with Italians working in the kitchen or the front, all you’re going to find are restaurants owned by middle east/Indians selling Olive Garden Italian food. There is not much culture left anywhere in Europe and you can’t go back in time 50 years, so save your money and buy yourself something nice and stay at home instead of giving it to these losers. Also forget the museums and old churches, do you really want to pay to wait in line 3 or more hours to see and old building that looks like 30 of the ones you passed on the way to these so called attractions? I’d much rather go to Asia and bang 18-20 year old women for my 2 week vacation.

    Just came back from Italy a couple of days ago. We visited Sardinia, Rome, Bari (The Apuglia Region) and Calabria. We did really well with the itinerary as far as planes, trains and automobiles but I feel that I shouldn't have listened to some of these travel vloggers when it came to Apuglia. We felt that Monopoli, Lecce & Altamura were not worth visiting at all and we should have skipped them. The worthwhile towns in the area were Bari, Polignano Amare, Conversano, Ostuni, alberobello & Matera.

    My wife has been in the hospital in Venice for a week now awaiting transport home. Our travel insurance provider has been wonderful so far. Regarding pre-existing conditions, they do normally cover them if you obtain the insurance within a few days of making your first travel arrangements. If you are from the US, you will find medical care here is not what you are used to back home. Not judging, just a different system. Very little English is spoken by the providers and they really don't seem to care for "Americanos" I've heard that word spoken in a derisive manner several times. Don't leave home without travel insurance! We cruise several time a year and it was adding up but glad I got it.

      I’m using the website Rome2Rio to answer your question. You can look there to get the details. There are frequent trains from Rome Termini station to the town of Tivoli. Then it’s a 10-15 walk (or probably a short taxi ride.) A taxi from Rome is estimated to be $60-$75. Yes, there is a fee. Tickets for the house and garden are €15.

    I agree with everything explained on this video and have a few extra tips. Often a transatlantic flight of six hours or more, will dry out your sinuses leaving you vulnerable to cold or upper respiratory illness. Thus ruining your trip. Carry a wash cloth with you and if you sleep on the flight wet the cloth and keep it on your face, breathing the moistened air. Other options are saline nasal spray and if you can find it evion has an aerisol water spray which can be sprayed on your face at regular intervals. As for what to expect when you arrive, the coffee in italy is quite different, much stronger than in the U. S. This is true even when American coffee is advertised. My advice is to accept it as something thats different and grow accustomed to it. Thirdly it is the quintessential ugly American to Deal with waiters or clerks as it they are cheating you. Get familiar with the currency and the price of things, count your change and have trust. On the other hand keep your valuables with you, passport in particular. Most hotels will ask for your passport at check in and often hold it throughout your stay. If something unplanned occurs do not let it ruin the whole trip. Take each day as it comes, adjust, adapt and move on.Italians live La dolce vita, the sweet life. You wont really have enjoyed italy, if you dont aspire to achieving that, if only for the few days you are there

But I due to exhaustion and stress of delayed travel to Verona back and forth, I couldn’t do anymore travelling beyond Milan. I missed a train as I booked online and didn’t get the right platform.

    just a couple of remarks: 1) in Rome there are two trains from the Leonardo Da Vinci airport to the city, one is the Leonardo Express mentioned in the video that goes directly to Roma Termini train station, the other is a regional train that's more like a metro line and travels across Rome with several stops within the city before proceeding north. Depending where one has to go from the airport to Rome one train or another may be more convenient. 2) Milan is served by two airports, Milano Malpensa, which is actually near Varese, and Milano Linate, which is very close to the city of Milan. The transfer quoted in the video refers to Milano Malpensa and the train, Malpensa Express, going from that airport to Milano Cadorna or Milano Centrale train station, while Milano Linate airport in connected to the city by a short trip by urban bus or a metro line.

      Sorry. What could we include that would make it more relevant for you?

    Calabria, which is in southern Italy is absolutely beautiful. Many small, beautiful towns I loved interacting with the locals and watching the bands at night and the beaches are absolutely beautiful.

      Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve never been, but will go in the future.

    I have been following most of your path Ann. I also try to translate in my head when other people are speaking English.

      You’ll have a great time. Check out our video about 10 hidden Rome sights if you haven’t already. You might get a few ideas.

    I’ve even seen some Americans on here thinking they can ‘do’ London in a day and the U.K. in a week. Of course you could, but you wouldn’t be able to see much except the rail network 😂

      Yes. It’s understandable to want to see everything, just not realistic.
