Buongiorno Italia! Verona - The City of Romance
When it’s about travelling to Italy, most people immediately think of Rome, Venice or Florence. But there’s a city in the north of Italy that is at least equally as picturesque and romantic as the others are: Verona. And today, I’ll tell you all about this beautiful place on earth! If you’re from Central Europe, heading down to Southern Italy, you pass by Verona on the highway. When spending time at the Lago Di Garda, Verona is just a few minutes from there. Therefore, it’s really easy to access and definitely worth a pit stop, a day trip or even a few days if you’d like to explore it in more detail.
Ciao Lago di Garda: Sirmione, Italy
Welcome back to the blog. A lot has been going on worldwide in the last few months. Today, I want to focus on a country that has been hit hard by the crisis: Italy. People all over the world love visiting the world, and as soon as it is safe again to travel there, Italy is one of the countries that needs tourism the most. Of course, I am not encouraging you to go there if it’s not safe.
Road Trip Through Southern Italy – From Lecce & Alberobello, Puglia To Matera, Basilicata
Happy Thursday and welcome back on the blog! Last week, I decided to take a little break as it’s been quite stressful coming back from my travels, prepare blogposts and additionally, I was a bit sick, or at least not feeling my best after rushing from one place to another. But today, I am back with the final part about my road trip through southern Italy last year.
Road Trip Through Southern Italy – Bari, Giovinazzo & Monopoli, Puglia
After having been to Naples, Pompeii and Ischia, I dropped my friends off at the station, and later picked up another one, with whom I continued my trip. We headed on to Bari, which was our base for the next days full of exploring Puglia, according to many, the most beautiful part of Italy.
Road Trip Through Southern Italy – Naples, Campania
I might start with the most important fact – no, Naples is not particularly safe regarding pickpockets and getting robbed. Also, I wouldn’t recommend driving in the city, as I did and even though I was used to the Italian way of driving, it was the most horrible experience you can imagine. Rules simply did not exist on the streets. But I guess that’s what makes Naples unique.
Buongiorno Italia! Bella Roma Part II
Welcome back to my little series about the Italian capital. This time I’m focusing on some other main attractions of the city, as well as some personal favourites that might not be on everyone’s list. But enough talking and let’s get right into it!
Buongiorno Italia! Bella Roma Part I
All roads lead to Rome, right?
Well, I'm pretty sure you can imagine, that during my semester abroad in Italy, I frequently went to Rome, not only because it's a beautiful city and I have never been there before, but also because one of my best friends was doing her semester abroad there. When brainstorming on what places I should recommend you, my first thought was 'Everything?!' and therefore, this will only be part one of my series about the beautiful Italian capital.
