7 mistakes that ruin an Italy trip (and how to avoid them) 👇

1️⃣ Only visiting the big cities
Rome, Florence and Venice are amazing, but they’re crowded and they don’t tell the whole Italian story. Take a day trip by train. It’s easy and inexpensive, and it opens up so much more of Italy.

2️⃣ Only seeing the famous sites
If you stick to the headline sights, you’re stuck with the tour-bus crowds all day. Those groups see maybe 10% of what a city has to offer. The other 90% is just as incredible, it’s often just around the corner, and it has no crowds.

3️⃣ Overscheduling your days
Plan one major site per day, like the Colosseum or the Vatican. Add one or two smaller, uncrowded spots, and leave a couple of hours free to wander. That free time is where the magic happens.

4️⃣ Eating at tourist traps
You didn’t fly all the way to Italy for overpriced, mediocre food.
Skip anywhere with photos on the menu and go where the Italians eat. Those places are easy to spot, the food is incredible, and it costs less.

5️⃣ Booking too late
Trains, guides, museum tickets and drivers all sell out, especially in high season. Book the big things as soon as your dates are set. Some tickets release months ahead and are gone within days.

6️⃣ Changing hotels too often
Stay at least 3 nights in each place. Otherwise you lose hours to packing, checking out, traveling, and waiting to check in again.

7️⃣ Underestimating the walking
Expect 20,000–30,000 steps a day in the big cities, and much of that is uphill, even in towns that look flat.
Bring real walking shoes, not ballet flats or flip-flops. Your feet will thank you!

The last few years living (half time) in Italy have taught me a lot.
What I thought mattered, doesn’t.
What I didn’t think mattered, totally does.

A rich life and an expensive life are not the same thing.
Not every minute needs to be productive.

The past few years living (half time) in Italy has turned everything I thought I knew upside down.
What I thought mattered, doesn’t.
What I didn’t think mattered, totally does.

Life is not waiting somewhere else.
