My advice to Americans is just to go there. It almost doesn't matter where. It has everything you want - history, architecture, beaches, entertainment, food and drink, mountains, rivers, music, etc. It is my favorite country to visit and if you told me I could only go to one for the rest of my life, I would pick Italy. I have been to it three times, about 5 weeks total. My girlfriend and I were set to go when you know what stopped us. We were intending to stay mostly in Puglia, where we have not been before. Maybe next year.
Io sono italiano, e continua a stupirmi quanta “passione” scatena il mio Paese negli stranieri. Mi fa piacere, ma ancora non ne comprendo appieno le ragioni. Ciao.
@@salvatoremartella5397 Infatti non ti saprei dire il perché ma ti posso dire che amo Italia più di ogni altro paese, incluso il mio! Avevo 18 anni la prima volta che sono arrivata e non mi piace stare là, poi sono andata in Inghilterra per 6 anni solo per rendermi conto che sono innamorata del Italia! Lunga storia insomma, faccio sempre su e giù! A fine mese torno a Firenze a vivere che ora sono in Inghilterra. :)
Ciao! Sono coreana e vivo a Milano quasi 4 anni! Sempre grazie mille per video molto utile e divertente per imparare la cultura e la lingua italiana :)
We spent a year working in Monza. What a wonderful community, and the city park was beautiful. We also spent a lot time in Citta Alta above Bergamo, on the lake shore around Lecco, and in Sardinia. In addition to the bed and breakfast mentioned in the video, Italy has a large "agriturismi" community. These may be working farms with tourist accomodations, and true farm-to-table dining. It was perfect when traveling with a small child I think September is the best time to visit. Tourists are gone, the sea is still warm, and lodging is inexpensive.
My advice would be to not worry so much about seeing the big museums (unless art is really your thing) and just wander. I went to Florence recently and my favourite and most memorable activity was walking up to the Piazzale Michelangelo, which was free and gave me the best views of the city. There are so many beautiful churches that are free to enter, and you soak up so much of the atmosphere just walking around the streets, stumbling across cute little corners and shops and views, hearing Italians chat and finding nice cafes or restaurants. But if you really do want to visit museums or other attractions, often they have cheaper times or days, so look online for tips.
Agreed. I went to the museums in Florence, but didn't really enjoy it that much, honestly. I much preferred exploring the city by foot and trying out the food.
For those who come to Sardinia in the middle of summer, I recommend you avoid the crowded and visit in particular the areas of the center of the island (just like they said the two Sardinian guys) and get your ticket a little early so you can save money for the boat or the plane 😁
Non avete bisogno di nessuni consigli - l'Italia e gli italiani non vi deluderanno mai :) Sono stato qualche volta in Italia ed ogni volta ho avuto un’esperienza bellissima :)
As Roman....do not eat in places near tourist 'attractions' (nice view - prices triple - quality halved). Don't buy water (take a bottle and fill it at one of the hundreds of fountains scattered around the city). The best time to visit Rome? Here it depends on your temperament. If you don't mind the scorching heat then August will do, but for my taste May and September are probably the best weather-wise.
I agree with most interviewed locals - it is way better to visit smaller villages and less crowded places as you are forced to speak Italian with the locals. This is the rela way to discover the true beauty and chamr of the country. Nothing is better than some delicous local food and/or an Espresso in the local bar with a splendid view! One more important advice - start all your tours (very) early, as every place (and that really means everything - churches, museums, shops etc) is closed over noon (12-16). Just enjoy the day like an Italian - have a cool-down siesta then and don't worry that everything is closed: you are in Italy ;)
Vado in Italia a maggio. Sono molto eccitato! Grazie Katie e Matteo per Easy Italian. Praticare Italiano con voi e divertente! (I think I wrote that correctly)
A volte pure gli italiani si fanno intortare! Sono stata a Venezia e sono italiana, ma non essendo del luogo capita di finire in ristoranti turistici che ti svuotano il portafoglio. Tuttavia quando ci sono andata con una veneziana lei mi ha portato in una trattoria dove si mangiava BENISSIMO sotto i 10/15€. Quindi sicuramente il consiglio di Mary di guardarsi le recensioni di internet è estremamente valido se non si conoscono persone del luogo
I love the idea of Bed and Breakfasts Italian style, I think you may have to drag me out the country by my ankles. Can I ask if you have a video for those of us who use wheelchairs, or have challenges with mobility, please? And dare I say plant-based eaters. Skipping the 'V' word for self preservation 😂
Listen to the Italiani. My rule for food is never eat close to the tourist centers and if a restaurant has a big sign that says, "we accept visa and master card",and a menu in English, go a few blocks perpendicular to the street you are on and eat in a restaurant with the locals in a place that has no English menu. The food is much better and certainly cheaper. As the Italiani in the video said, ask the local people where to find a non-turisti restaurant where the locals eat, the food is typical of the region. You can't go wrong. And learn a little lingua Italiana before you go.
I recently bought an Interrail pass for 1 month, hoping to go in March 2023, plan is to go from Scotland to Paris, then thru Switzerland to Turin, Milan, Genoa then Florence. I'd love to go to Rome, but it seems so busy, I prefer the smaller cities, may pop down to Sicily. A lot of planning to do :)
Sicily is a great place . I’m from Greece and we use to say that Sicily is the sister of Crete . Both big islands of the Mediterranean . Though Sicily is more organised in terms of cities . Sicily has better cities . But Crete is more rustic , more relaxed , has much more pure villages and ,in my sense, better climate . Viva l’Italia e viva la Grecia
(Genoa)You must visit the hill over the town "Righi" and "Castelletto" , in the core of old town "porto antico" and "vicoli" and looking for a film on Genoa by Winterbottom
Il costo di un hotel a Milano o Venezia è incredibile. Se vai in quelle città, ti consiglio di prendere un hotel in una città vicina più economica. Ad esempio stare a Pavia invece che a Milano. Soggiorna a Padova invece che a Venezia. Prendi il treno per la città costosa. Anche con il costo aggiuntivo del treno risparmierai un'enorme quantità di denaro.
Non sono mai stato in Italia per dare i consigli ai turisti che vengeno visitarla,mai seconde me penso sarebbe meglio cercarer qualche informationi su internet per sapere dove si trovanno i luogi di turisti,i restauranti che non sono cari per evitare a spendere tanti soldi ed anche non avere paure a chiedere agli abitanti si la persona a bisogna di qualcosa❤

Grazie per il video. Andiamo a settembre in Italia per il nostro primo viaggio li. Tutte le cose che piu famoso quasi sempre sono in centrale delle citta. Non so che possibile vedere i siti senza essendo tra questi posti. Spero che non saro spendere troppo soldi ma non voglio mancare niente la prima volta. Io sono un principiante nella linqua e amo l'impare . Sono pronto per i cibi.Any advice for tourists that will in The most famous cities for only a couple of days and then then moving to the next city would be appreciated. Advice from Italiani that want to help a foreigner that loves their country. I can't wait to be there
My wife and I would like to move to Italy for a year to experience something different. What would be a good part of Italy to move too? We like the outdoors, close to a city rather than in one.
Lombardia, Veneto and Trento Alto Adige would be great regions because there are amazing mountains and lake there, so lot's of space to experience the beautiful Italian outdoors. And there are also rather large cities like Milan and Venice and smaller marvellous towns that have a lot to offer, too. My all time favorite place is Bergamo :)
Visiterò Venezia per la prima volta in due settimane, sono Americano, cosa mi potete consigliare per provare il vero chivo italiano e non spendere troppo? Grazie
Consiglio: informatevi bene sui piatti tipici del luogo dove vi trovate in italia esempio non ordinare la carbonara a Milano a meno che non andate in un ristorante dichiaratamente romano (ce ne sono) perchè molto probabilmente non sarà buonissima. In ogni caso non ha senso per un turista meglio mangiare le cose tipiche del luogo, se invece uno vive a Milano e ha voglia di carbonara ha senso, avrebbe senso anche andare in un ristorante etnico per sperimentare qualcosa di nuovo. Ci sono ristoranti anche dello Sri Lanka. Insomma la carbonara mangiatela a Roma che è meglio.
How about purely practical tips? Exchanging money? Or can I just use my American credit card? How to travel... bus? train? What are those logistics? Should I rent a car or no? Don't I need some kind of adapter for electric outlets (phone charger, electric razor, etc.)? And I know "un po' Italiano," so at what point is this a problem? Will enough of the Italians know enough English to save me if needed? :) Or is there a translator app that you recommend over the others? I imagine this becomes more of an issue the farther away from big city centers you get.
Are you in love with someone and he/she doesn't reciprocate the gesture, frustrated because of a Break -up 💔 then you can use this to attract that lover into your life. It brings back your ex, and help solve broken marriages. Life is too short to be unhappy. Think about that. You deserve utmost happiness and love.
