italy
Italy is a country full of history, culture, art, and stunning nature. Whether it’s the picturesque canals of Venice, ragged mountains of Dolomite or pristine water of the Sicily Island, there is something for everyone.
And did I mention food? From homemade pasta class to hidden small town, here are my exhaustive guides to Italy.

Transport: Italy has a great network of trains, and it’s best to book advance and I like using the app Omio. It can get expensive, so Flixibus is an alternative.
Currency: Euros! Cards are widely accepted in most places but it’s good to have some cash on you.
Sim Card: Most european sim card should cover Italy as part of roaming. If you’re visiting, I suggest pre-ordering a sim to use.
Handy apps: Omio for transport
Language: Italian. In most touristy places they speak good English so you don’t have to worry. Here are some phrases for you to use:
- Thank you – Grazia
- Hello and goodbye – Ciao
- Excuse me – Mis-cusi
Venice
Venice is one of the most popular cities in Italy. While it is often crowded and slightly overhyped, it is worth a visit with many beautiful cities around it as well!

The Italian Dolomites is a beautiful mountain region in Northern Italy that is a hiker’s paradise. it is a great road trip option and I can’t wait to go back:

Sicily is an amazing island in southern Italy. It’s not only historical but also fill with stunning nature. It was absolutely one of the best trips I’ve ever had and I’m excited to help you plan a perfect trip there, too.
