Posted: 5/28/2012 5:13:26 PM | | Just about everywhere except the big tourist trap cities. You will be pleasantly surprised at prices in Italy everything is about 50-90% off just head inland away from the tourist traps. Oh, and do not listen to the morons who say you will be mugged. I have lived here for 4 months now and I intend to stay forever. I have traveled from one end of the country to the other rural towns etc. Sicily you name it I have been there. What I can offer you is this the southern part of Italy is less expensive and I have found the Italian people to be much friendlier. | |

If you have access to a kitchen and cooking your own food I suggest you hit the local market (or Conrad supermarket)... I lived in Italy with my ex-fiance for a few years and with less than $40 Euros we stacked the fridge for a week.
And I do agree with with the ealier assessment... After living in Brescia (northern Italy) and spending time in Napole & Roma... The northern part of the country is far more reserved. | |

Your best bet is talk to the hotel staff and find out where they go.
BTW, the Italians like their cappucino in the morning, not after lunch. | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 5:01:17 PM | Keep your money and your credit cards in seperate pockets regardless where in Europe you are. worked in Europe for 5 years and the amount of people that had stuff stolen from right under them was staggering I alone was in the company of 2 friends who had their wallets picked clean out their pockets in Rome and Livorno... Just be Careful its the same in Spain Portugal dont let your guard down for a minute
Other than that its a great place hope you enjoy everyminute of the trip and as for the menu's yeah if its in multiple languages = pretty touristy but then again remember that does not mean it is bad. | |

You are probably gone already. Just wanted to wish you a great trip. I just came back from Venice, Rome and Capri in May -- my second trip and can't wait to return. I found it safer than going to NY! Hope you had a great time!

Posted: 7/31/2012 7:53:26 PM | Hi,
I was in Itlay on vacation a while back. You will love it there, so much history. When you go int0 a coffee
shop/bakery, don't sit at a table, they will charge you much more. Get your coffee and snack to go. There
are places to sit outside of most bakeries.
Have fun. Janice | |
