Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli. Pros: - Not insanely hot - Amazing Food - Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be. - Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white. - Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb. - People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum. - Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen. - Trains are decent. Cons: - Niggers - Jeets - Abduls - High Taxes if one were to live here. Is it worth going to Florence tomorrow? Is it worth moving to Verona? For context, I am white with blue eyes.

>- High Taxes if one were to live here. huh?total tax burden in Italy is lower than in the US for an average citizen they just have high total government spending>Is it worth going to Florence tomorrow? yes 100% 1 day is really short for Florence though>Is it worth moving to Verona? do you like Italy? do you like Italian? can you find a job?maybe try living there as DN firstalso keep in mind that 1) most likely won't live in the most beautiful parts of the city 2) even if you do, the apartment there are usually shit

Florence is too crowded for my liking but it's still cool. I would stay across the river

florence is beautiful, but will have more tourists than everywhere you went. and more begging 3rd worlders or trying to sell counterfit shit to you. But also they have a few famous food dishes. Some of the best renaissance art tho maybe you've seen plenty of masterpieces already is it over saturation. the periphery of the city is super comfy. the hills and cyprus trees.but in the periphery of veneto there are many places that might be more comfy for a day trip, and nearer (assuming you need the train major lines?)

what do u want to visit? lago di garda? pescheria del garda, sirmione, limone sul garda, arco trento, bolzano - comfy smaller cities to the north regions in the alto adige val gardena, cortina d'ampezzo mantua, vicenza, padua, treviso, brescia, bergamo, cremona are all smaller cities that are reachable from verona that have modest tourism appeal but there is so much tourist draw of other cities they are fairly relaxing. sabionetta looks neat. bassano del grappa is neatfruili is like a quiet beautiful part of italy that is hidden from everyone

I went with my mom on a south Italy tour group to Rome, Vieste, Matera, Maiori, Amalfi, Sorrento, and Naples a few years ago. Felt weird being the youngest and surrounded by boomers, and I can't say I liked having to follow around the guide with people wearing tacky earbuds. But the arrangements were worthwhile, and they let us loose a good deal. My mom wants to go back this October for a week in just Rome, to see the canonization, no tour. Gonna wish I could revisit Vieste, or check out any of the places mentioned by OP, but experiencing the city again in weather that hopefully won't be as sweltering sounds nice.

I'll be staying in Bari for 5 days, just a quick summer getaway. I've been to Italy before (Rome, Naples and Amalfi Coast, Firenze, Venice, Sicily, etc) and I speak some italian. What should I see in the city, and what daytrips do you recommend? I'm thinking of doing Matera for a day, and Polignano a Mare for a cool beachside village. Interested in history, art (any worthwhile art museums in the area?), etc. I wanna see Lecce as well, but I might leave that off for another trip.

I'm looking for recommendations on a travel itinerary in Italy.>I have 17 nights in Italy >Traveling with parents (and my gf) >Part of the reason for this trip is to take my parents back to the hometown they were born in the south (small town in Calabria) >They've never been back, so it's a little bit of a reconnection and cultural moment >Flying in and out of RomeI figure that since we're flying in and out of Rome and small town Calabria is going to be a part of the itinerary, it's only worth it to stay in the south. The cities/areas I have currently marked for overnight stays are: >Rome >Just outside Cosenza >Napoli >Somewhere on the Amalfi coastI'm curious if people recommend staying in Napoli? Or should I swap/add a different city in there? I'm assuming there's tons to do and see in the area, so I'm not particularly concerned. But I do notice that there is less written about traveling the south, so I wanted the opinions of some anons that are more knowledgeable in this space.Thanks in advance.

What is the theft/crime situation like?I'm not a stupid traveller, nor am I particularly naive, but I am curious what I should be on the look out for. I know pickpocketing is the thing that gets the most attention. But what about muggings or straight up snatching off one's person? Like if I have a camera that I'm carrying around, will someone come up to me with a knife? Will someone try to do a run-by and snatch it off of my shoulder? It seems like that isn't as common as I don't see many people warning of that online as opposed to pickpockets (obviously there are the odd cases where it happens, but it seems to be significantly less common).

Spending 3 days in Rome, any tips? Yes I'm visiting the colosseum and the Vatican but don't know what else to do. Also need some recommendations on where to eat and drink for cheap.

Anon08/09/25, 08:24No.2810464

What would be some good cultural products to look out for when travelling across the country?I'm thinking of Japan and how they're known for denim, knives, and indigo. Italy is known for fashion and cooking, but more in a general sense and I'm less familiar with any specific items. I do make my own pasta by hand, so I'll be looking for bronze dies to stamp out some ravioli. But aside from that I'm at a loss.

Anon08/22/25, 08:02No.2815495

+1 for Verona. I don't think I've been to a better looking city. It's touristy for sure, but that's one of my favorite cities on earth. I got my wife's wedding ring in Verona from a little hole in the wall jewelry shop called Arduini.

I'm surprised tourists don't suffer at the hands of soccer fans. It would be funny to see the average american getting harassed by Napoli or Lazio fans. You'd think local hooligans would take advantage of foreigners.

Anon09/04/25, 10:14No.2820147

Just finished Rome. Here’s my shitty American take.-the food is outstanding BUT every single place has the exact same menu only with varying degrees of quality -the women are fucking hot. If you like a nice midriff you are going to be going AWOOGA every 10 seconds. -the ancient Roman stuff can be condensed down to the Pantheon and the Colosseum. Everything else looks pretty much exactly the same as those two, it’s just a bunch of broken shit all over the city. You see those two things you pretty much saw it all. -the Vatican is extremely overrated for the hassle. It’s a 6 hour line to get in, overcrowded, and dudes with machine guns restricting where you can go. There are tons of Basilicas that are free, no lines, no security thugs, and everything is just as impressive as anything the Vatican has. -customer service is absolute dogshit unless you go to some upscale hotel that has American prices. -mornings and evenings are great in the summer but the midday heat will absolutely melt you down -Taxis and busses and trains are a rip off, just get a lime scooter, it’s cheaper, faster, and way more convenient. -for a big city it’s oddly not really a party town. Most places close at midnight and don’t open till 5pm. -nobody smiles which I thought was really weird. Not necessarily at me but just in general. Everyone walks around super serious looking. -holy fuck this place is jeeted/nogged/arab’d to the Nth degree, BUT the jeets and Arabs just want you to come into their shop/cafe and are generally polite and not actively a threat. The fucking Africans are a menace. -the city is surprisingly clean compared to most American cities and there are very few homeless. Business owners hose down their fronts in the morning and the trash collection is efficient. No tent cities or giant garbage hordes like back home.5/10. Saw what I wanted, won’t come back.

Gotta laugh at the amount of fearful paranoid bedwetters in this thread. The odds of any given person getting robbed in Italy is pretty negligable. Imagine thinking that you can't even carry a backpack or have a wallet in your pocket. This is insane stuff.

I might fly to Rome next week or the one after, but I won't know until the very last minute whether I can go or now. If I can go, I'll probably stay 4-5 nights. From what I can gather, I'll be fucked when it comes to visiting shit that needs a reservation weeks in advance. Thus I suppose I'll be cucked of like half of the shit to visit. Therefore I intend to do scenic walks and the like. How is the Via Appia Antica, for instance? (and where to stop, it's fucking long). Is it worth it to take the train to castel Gondolfo? Its lake and views look nice. I'll take any good walking itinerary advice.

In Rome, there is an excavated and walled in Roman ruin that they turned into a cat sanctuary. Like 30 cats just chilling in the remains of an ancient temple. Pretty cool.

How's Venice? I'm planning a trip with family in early November... Mostly through Tuscany I imagine, countryside, bit of Florence..We could Detour to Venice for a bit but I heard the whole city smells of sewage. Although, I also heard that it's only like that in the Summer... so idk.

Where is a nice place easily access via train between Rome and Florence to unwind for a day or two? I'm looking for just a pleasant place to walk around, eat, drink in, and avoid the Rome/Florence crowds. I don't are about attractions unless they're the kind of ambient enjoyable thing like a nice piazza or cathedral. I'm considering Siena or Orvieto but happy to hear recs, or even just a take on those two places.

(1/2) I have recently returned from a holiday in Italy. Three days in Rome and three days in Orvieto. Some thoughts:While some here have pointed out that Rome is becoming more “enriched”, it is still a predominantly Italian city. It’s in a far better position than nearly any other European capital in that regard. If nothing else, you should go and see it before that all changes and all of Europe is completely fucked.Rome probably has the heaviest police presence of any city I’ve visited. The Carabinieri in particular look like proper hard nuts. The city really did feel quite safe and I was happy to walk the streets at night with ease.While all the talk about pickpockets probably is merited (I saw a fair number of Roma-looking people close to the major tourist attractions), you really should be fine if you follow basic precautions and have a bit of situational awareness. I would say thieves target the sort of naive people who have no idea what a Roma gypsy is, let alone what they’re like (American boomers come to mind).Speaking of Americans, they were absolutely everywhere in Rome. Not just the boomers but also plenty of young couples. I got richfag vibes from quite a few of the young ones.The major tourist sights (Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican, etc) are a letdown and have been ruined by overtourism. I checked them out because I didn’t want to leave Rome without so much as glancing at them, and holy shit they’re infested by selfie-taking lemmings of the worst variety. The Trevi Fountain in particular resembled the seventh circle of hell. I took one look and noped right out of there.Trastevere is a great neighbourhood to stay in and to eat/drink in. A chilled vibe, but with plenty going on.

Spent 3 weeks in Italy recently, I went to Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, and Naples. Not really a whole lot to see in Milan, the Duomo was incredible though and the Navigli was pretty cool. Thanks to an anon from a previous thread who gave recommendations for restaurants serving Milanese cuisine, I went to Osteria dei Malnat and had excellent osso bucco. The food in Bologna was my favorite out of everywhere I went. Not too much to see here but it was a good time hanging out with locals at the bars. Hardly touristy at all which was nice. Florence was absolutely packed full of tourists, massive chink hordes and other annoying oblivious dumb fucks. I'm not really big on Renaissance art but I figured I had to see it once, and that was plenty for me. The food was really good (at least outside the super touristy areas, I didn't bother trying to eat there), I didn't know really anything about the local cuisine besides bistecca alla fiorentina so I was very pleasantly surprised. It kinda sucks to say I was a bit disappointed by Rome but that's how I felt. The history is of course fascinating and made the visit well worth it, but it was also packed with tourists pretty much everywhere I went. Not as bad as Florence, but in both cities you can also tell that at least some locals are just tired of tourists, and I can't blame them. Naples was my favorite, not touristy, felt like a real city. There's trash everywhere and the drivers are crazy, it's a bit chaotic in a way that makes it feel lively. The people were cool, I love seafood and pizza so the food was great, and I think Pompeii and the archeological museum were the most interesting things I saw on my trip. The view of the city from castel sant elmo was great. I saw people say online that Naples is sketchy/dangerous, but I never felt that way, maybe I just wasn't ever in the bad areas. There were some homeless and a ton of blacks by the central train station but even that wasn't too bad.
