If you want to take the train to Cinque Terre I recommend the train to Levanto from say Pisa. It’s a regional so slow but I really like to stay in Levanto. Not as crazy as the 5 towns and a nice hike over the hill to Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost town of theCinque Terra, or if like me you’re a bit old for the hike there is a train that will then take you to all 5 of the villages of the Cinque Terra.
Hey stumbled on your channel a bit ago. Love the work you put into this video, it clearly wasn't thrown together. To many people give up right before achieving greatness, so keep pushing!
Hello Rick and Andrea! Thank You for the video espically the links for attractions its really helpful. I have a question, I heard that in Venice it's not allowed for the tourists to bring a wheeled lugguige is that correct ? I'm really worried because I'm planning to tour Italy at septembre and My suitcase is really heavy and with wheels😰
Thank you thank you for you both. i am seeing that bus and train from Florence to La Spezie (going to Cinque terre) is just a few a minute difference and of course bus is much cheaper by half. Departing stations noted not from SMN in Firenze and not in centralle at La Spezie. Will you recommend taking the bus?
Great vid Thanks Always decline the conversion offer on the ATM..this let's ur home bank calculate a fair exchange rate and not the local ATM which will rip u off... We plan 2 visit Rome in August ...bad idea timing wise??
I recently discovered your channel. I’m so thankful. I’m traveling to Italy partly on a Mediterranean cruise and day before and after the cruise in Rome. Question: Is it doable to go on our own to Florence and Pisa from La Spezia Cruise Port on a 12 hour stop ? Pls advise. Thanks.
Thank you, gentlemen, we're going to Sardinia and Sicily for 3 weeks in August. We're flying into Rome. Do you think it's better to fly from Rome to Palermo, and rent a car to drive East to the highlights to Catania? Then we can take the bus or train to Cefalu, back to Palermo? Please advise. Thank you
Hello Gil, thank you for your message 😀seven days in Rome is great you can check our playlist about Rome, we have several videos about what to see and do in Rome: th-cam.com/play/PLyZG641srtD61eHv3l9qvZbksEzXFkSB8.html
Sorry but all the est coast of the lake of Como(Lecco to Colico)can be reached by one train-line and one other riches Como city easily. You can also use bus or ferry.
In Italy are there places where you can get coin change? Travelling in England and France I found it very difficult to get coins for vending machines and toilets.
Once again, great tips. I am going to look into Wise. We sometimes do use ATM's towards the end of the trip. Also, we purchased a TIM portable Wifi. We carry it with us and recharge the sim after 30 days. We get 70gb for 10 euro, great deal. Thanks again.
I think I read that they charge you interest when you take out money with your credit card from the moment it's withdrawn. Does anyone else have experience with that?

We will never dove that so we are not sure sorry
Thank you for the info . Do you guys recommend to buy the Eurail train pass or buy them as you go ? How about reservations seats how that works ?
Eurail is not as convenient as it used to be. Seat selection is available on high speed trains
@@TravelAddictsLife can I buy the train tickets at the station with the seats reservations no problem? 😃
Yes you can 👍🏻
Great vid
Thanks

It will be a bit hot and a few tourists around. You will live it! It is perfect for night strolls in August

Yes at the moment you can go on your own hopefully they won’t change 😃
@@TravelAddictsLife Would taking the train from La Spezia be the best way?

Thank you for the clarification but we had questions regarding Bellagio

Usually coffee shops can change you coins
@@TravelAddictsLife That's good to know.

This is a paid promotion for wise
And Wise only allows 2 free withdrawals per month for UP to $100 US. Then 2% per transaction. Expensive.
What if I have a credit card with no foreign transactions fees?
Then you can use that 👍🏻
I think I read that they charge you interest when you take out money with your credit card from the moment it's withdrawn. Does anyone else have experience with that?
@@jend7618 That is correct. You usually charged a cash advance fee. That is why you should use your debit card.
