My experience in Italy

My first international vacation was to Italy and I have been back many times since. From the Alpine lakes of Northern Italy to the sunny coast of Sicily, there is plenty to see and do.

Recently, I have mostly visited Italy before, after, or during a cruise so you will find ideas on how to best spend a day in port and what to see if you only have limited time. But no matter how short your visit – don’t miss out on having some authentic pizza and pasta!

  • Transportation Tip – Italian trains are modern and very fast. A great way to travel the country!
