What about people who drink little to no alcohol? Are there non alcoholic aperitivos?
Want to do the bus tour. Guess that means big bucks.
Do you have to order alcoholic drinks to get free snacks at Aparitivo ?
Love these tips! We absolutely agree, the great places don't have to cost a fortune! You guys inspire us to get out and see more, thank you!
Ask American how to get the most bangs for travel bucks. Good tips!
Hi Wolter, thank you for great tips. Chaos
Loved travelling around Italy, and definitely agree with the tip for buying train tickets early!
My tip would be to avoid the “Roma Turbo-pass” – the advertising suggests you can get a ticket to the Vatican and Colosseum at the time you want, but in reality the company buys these tickets late (literally days before you travel) and the time you get is what’s left!!
Just don’t do it, and buy your tickets direct from the official websites so you can get the time you want 👍🏻
Which town is that at 7:33?
Great tips! We opted to splurge on our accommodations to be right where all the attractions are and were more conscious on our food budget (no fancy 5 Star restaurants but more family run places) 😊
Expensive is relative. The US are expensive too. Italy is not Switzerland but it it no South East Asia either.
My biggest gripe w Italy is how they refuse to just give you tap water. You order water boom 5 euro nast sparkling water or mineral water. Random taxes in some city's. That have to be paid in cash like is this a gimmick? Read mixed things online
I have been binging podcast w mark as a guest. He said he hates coffee . His wife is the coffee lover lol…
50% of the Aperol Spritz I get served in the US suck balls
In Venice you can evaluate proximity to tourism by a single expresso. Near my hotel 1 euro. St Mark's Sq….2 sammies, coffee, 2 waters…. 67 euros and worth every penny. Water comes from fountains all over Italy. Just fill up and enjoy!
My wife learned how to say 'pleasure to meet you' and for all the waiters 'make me happy' . The waiters may not ask what kind of wine you want. They ask will you be having wine? If you say yes don't be surprised if the water just walks away. They know what you ordered, they know how much you spent on your meal and they know what wines are in stock….. just trust them.
Old Italian ladies have sharp elbows and will use them; especially on Vaporettos. Learn how to say 'Permesso'
You can save money and have a true local experience by just spending a sunday in the park. Nothing better then Italian children whining about the same things children whine about everywhere….but in Italian. Late May is great. Especially if you like asparagus and little strawberries.
If you go during not hot times and you'll be on the go all day, stop by a supermarket. You can grab bread and "cold cuts" to make sandwiches, snacks, and drinks for a much cheaper lunch or dinner. They've got really interesting stuff in the freezer section too if you don't feel like going out. after a long day for dinner and you have a microwave in your housing.
I'm surprised you haven't done a video in Colombia yet. THE best country in ALL of the World.
They charge to just sit at a table?
a month in italy sounds amazing! enjoy! molto bene
You should really check out La Maddalena Sardinia. My father was stationed their before he retired from that navy. When we lived their it was amazing
best timing… im planing my Italian trip for 2024
I have three tips:
1) We did eat several meals last summer in Rome and Venice that were "3 Course for 18 Euros" which can be found at various eateries around town. We always found the food to be good and we saved quite a bit of cash.
2) To save our feet and save some cash, we opted to rent the electric scooters for trips that were within a mile or so way. We didn't have to pay a cab and we had fun saving money. Just be careful, cobblestone roads and scooters can be tricky!
3) AIR BNB!!!!!!! We saved HUNDREDS of dollars staying at Air BnBs everywhere. They were always nice (look for 'super hosts') and they cost around $100 per night compared to $300 plus for big name hotels AND we got to stay in areas where the locals live.
So beautiful
500 Euros for booking early ! That’s all you had to say !!!
This video just made me miss Italy 🇮🇹
Ok – one tip chose what you want to see and then after that – enjoy the time in the country because you are the trip being there meeting new people everyday task in a new country is exciting – absolutely 💯
Ooh get some walking shoes – they have them heels in a Italy while walking is a no but the leather is nice – and you can get a well made sandal at a good price ❤
I am German, and have lived in Italy for 2.5 years. Basically everything mentioned, I would say, completely right. Several aspects obviously also count for countries such as France. Maybe one little extra thing is that August (as correctly mentioned by Marc) is very packed as the locals also have their vaccation. But that mainly counts for the sea side and not so much for the cities. So, in the cities you actually can find also cheap possibilities to stay and eat. But it's fucking hot though. 🙂
Spend more on food and wine then you do for accommodations.
Italy is a land of diverse destinations, each offering its own unique charm. From the romantic canals of Venice to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, the historical treasures of Rome to the cultural hub of Florence, and the picturesque countryside of Tuscany to the fashion capital of Milan, there is something for everyone. So glad to have found your channel, Mark.
