Travel Helpers for Italy

I've made many visits to Italy (and will make more, always using public transport and focusing on historical and archaeological sites. I'm more than happy to help wherever I can.

I live in this country. I also visited several Italian towns and villages.

Our travel advice is focused on Emilia Romagna. After spending a whole month in this stunning region of Italy, we are happy to share our tips and suggestions for those seeking to avoid tourist traps and immerse themselves in the true beauty of Emilia Romagna.

Travelled through Italy several times to different locations all across the boot.

Hola! I'm a spaniard living in Italy for the last 4 years. All questions and doubts regarding Milano and Northern Italy are welcome!

I have traveled in Italy for 9 months, the first 6.5 of which were spent studying Italian at two different language schools. I can help with decisions on where to study, how to pick a school, how to pick a course (i.e., group or private), and how to find accommodations. But first read my article: https://dispatcheseurope.com/dispatches-weekly-weekend-event-guide-1-june-4-june-2017/

I can recommend specific lodging options in Rome, Florence and Venice as well as transportation recommendations. I spent one week in Rome, one week in Venice, and three weeks in Florence - so my best advice on local info will be for Florence.

Hi all,

I love Italy and did many trips to various places in Umbria, Marche, Basilicata, Bologna, Venice, etc. More to come because I can't get enough of this wonderful country, its lovely people and the so delicious food. Ask me anything about religious and food festivals :-)

Thanks :-) Ingrid

I have visited all 20 regions of Italy. I use the public transport only, interests are history and architecture as well as nature and trekking.

Sorrento - Stayed at Domus Porto Salvo Hotel which is an abbey with several monks still living on the premises. It is a great location for day trips around the Naples/Amalfi area. Visited Pompeii, Ercolan, Positano, Amalfi, Isle of Capri. The room was comfortable and spotless. Great staff (english speaking and helpful) and free computer use 24/7. Very nice breakfast included. It is the perfect spot overlooking the Bay. I could easily have been happy there for a 2 week stay with day trips around the Campania area. I didn't have time to see every city I had hoped to unfortunately. The public transportation was easy and inexpensive. It is a good spot for the physically challenged. The hotel has been adapted although I would let them know in advance.

Need to know how far is it by bus from Toblach to Corvara

I have travelled to Italy a number of times , both on my own and with others. My experiences have been mostly in less commercial areas , but also in some more with a tourist focus. I have travelled by car ( having a local friend drive) and by public transport. I was there on my own in March 2018, and am about to return in September with 3 others. If I can share experiences, am happy to.

Hello my name is Steve Mc Evoy and I live in London.For the last three years I have visited the Aeolian Islands,off Sicily,and found it a fascinating archapelgo of seven islands,with a lovely pace of life especially in the low season(Oct to May).There are lovely beaches walks and mountain treks to be explored.Each island has a different aura and they are named Vulcano,Lipari, Salina,Panerea,Stromboli,Alicudi and Filicudi.I have visited the first five and hopefully will visit the last two in 2006.If anyone requires information on these islands please contact me.

On the other hand I would like some details on the crossing of the border in Cyprus as the Karpas Peninsula on the north side appeals greatly to me.Is it easy to cross or is there a three hour interrogation before entry is permitted.

Thanks for any help forthcoming.

Stephen Mc Evoy.
