    I love Northern Italy. The drive from Verona to Innsbruck is incredible: Castles perched high above the cliffs; more than 100 miles of vineyards along the highways; fairytale looking villages dotted around the Alpine mountains.......

    Thanks to your wonderful videos, my family and I had a great time in Italy, started in Venice, then drove up the mountains to Trento, turned around and stayed in Vernazza for a couple of days, went to Rome and finally Naples , mount Vesuvius, and Pompeii 🇮🇹 i followed all of your advices and had the most incredible time ever! Thank you Rick Steves!

    I was just in Milano in September. Also took the train to Verona and I agree I fell in love with Verona. Also took the train to Brescia which is another hidden gem and Como logo. If you go to Verona and Como I highly recommend taking the funicular up to the top of the mountain. The view is spectacular.

    I'm Swiss from Ticino and I have visited Italy many times from north to south. I agree with you for the Cinque Terre. I've spend many days there. But you can't compare Milano to Firenze, Roma or Napoli. The south of Italy is wonderful and personally I like the region of Puglia. I think that in the south of Italy you can find the finest spots of Italy and the greatest traditions. And the most delicious food, too

      I am Roman, and outside of Naples, Milan is my third favorite city.
      I also lived in Switzerland btw, Montreux. Comunque, anche se non vi piace essere chiamati "italiani", siete pur sempre Italici, e anche se il Ticino non appartiene a l'Italia, l'Italia appartiene anche a voi. Avete tutto il permesso di chiamarla vostra. Stesso vale per i monegaschi (quelli veri).

    Very nice tube. But it’s really hard to explain the whole Italy. You have no idea as much as our country is large and full of nice places to see. My advice is to check the Unesco heritage world list before come here: Italy has 55 places awarted. (Italy - UNESCO World Heritage Centre). You can discover several cities not usually mentioned: Mantova, Genova, Vicenza and Ville Venete, Urbino... only to talk about some of them.

Prima e dopo faceva parte dei territori del regno di piemonte e sardegna. Nizza era un territorio di confine molto conteso in quegli anni, e divenne definitivamente francese solo nel 1860, cosa che all'epoca provocò rivolte ed espatrii degli stessi nizzardi, tra cui proprio Garibaldi che si oppose all'annessione di Nizza alla Francia con tutte le sue forze, sia promuovendo sommosse che protestando al Parlamento.

    if i have 14 days to explore italy, from north to south, what are the best places/towns to visit? do u think it is possible for me to visit the places rick steves mention through this playlist? (the playlist in Italy Travel Skills)

    • @francesco32890
      @francesco32890 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Echa arrive in Milan the best places: Milan, Turin, Langhe, lake of Garda, Cinque Terre, Verona, Padova, Venezia, Trieste, Ferrara, Bologna, Urbino, (TUSCANY), Umbria, Abruzzo, Rome, Naples, Pompei, Amalfi Coast, Matera, Salento ( beaches and sea like carbbeans), Sicily and Sardegna. I know...a lot of stuff, but i'm italian and i didn't visit all this places yet. So you have to decide what are your preferences.

    • @francesco32890
      @francesco32890 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      For me the perfect way to enjoy and visit italy is to divide the trip in zones. So you have to come at least 4-5 times. In the North you can do: 1 Milan, Lake of Garda and Verona, Venice and Trentino (14 days)
      2 Tuscany, Portofino, Cinque Terre(14 days)
      3 Bologna, Ferrara, Urbino and Tuscany (14 days)
      4 Milan, Turin and Langhe (wine) and if you have time Monte bianco (14 days)

    • @francesco32890
      @francesco32890 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In the South you can do:
      1 Rome, Naples, Pompei, Sorrento, Amalfi (20 days)
      2 Naples, Amalfi coast, Capo Vaticano and Tropea, and maybe a trip to the eolic Island like Stromboli and Vulcano. ( 14/20 days)
      3 Salento, Matera and Abruzzo (20 days) road trip.
      4 all Sicily
      5 all Sardegna.

    Caro il mio Rick Steves . Con questi pochi paesi due laghi le dolomiti ( di cui hai parlato inmaniera molto superficiale non dicendo che sono sito unesco ),non hai fatto una panoramica del nord Italia. Ti sei scordato il monte bianco , il monte rosa , il Cervino, il massiccio del gran paradiso, il monviso, la parete est del monte rosa la piu grande parete delle alpi e l unica di dimensioni himlaiane presente in europa,le Langhe, Venezia, Verona e ancora mille siti paesi e città. farei prima a dire ti sei dimenticato di raccontare tutto il nord Italia tranne che qualche luogo. Sai in italia di bellezze ne abbiamo un infinità e per raccontare il nostro bel paese lo devi girare in lungo e in largo .Sai qui in Italia anche il più sperduto piccolo agglomerato urbano ha capolavori incredibili. Quindi non è di certo solo questo il nord Italia.

      per me e' stato piu' che bravo, la maggior parte dei turisti non possono visitare tutti gli angoli anche se interessanti, ci vuole tempo e denaro, se ti rechi negli USA per 15 giorni non penso avrai la possibilita' di vedere tutto quello che ti interessa in poco tempo, un paese grande quanto tutta l'Europa, ha solo cercato di indirizzare in determinati luoghi di suo gusto personale,
