Things To Do
in Italy

Iconic ancient amphitheater and surrounding ruins—dramatic sunrise or blue-hour shots with fewer crowds are best.

Picturesque canals, gondolas, and ornate piazza architecture—early morning or late evening light is ideal.

Colorful cliffside villages with terraced vineyards and seaside vistas—capture from hiking trails or boat approaches.

Steep coastal roads, pastel houses and dramatic sea views—sunset photos from viewpoints above the towns are spectacular.

Jagged limestone peaks offering alpine panoramas, reflections in mountain lakes, and dramatic sunrise scenes.

Renaissance architecture and river reflections—viewpoints from Piazzale Michelangelo provide sweeping cityscapes.

Elegant villas, palm-lined promenades and mountain-backed lakes—ideal for golden-hour photography.

Classic Neapolitan pizza with chewy crust and simple high-quality toppings—try it in Naples (pizzerias like Da Michele or Sorbillo in Naples are famous).

Must-Try!

Roman pasta specialties made with minimal ingredients—Carbonara (eggs, pecorino, guanciale), Cacio e Pepe (cheese and pepper). Great in Rome’s neighborhood trattorias.

Creamy saffron-scented risotto associated with Milan; find it in Lombardy restaurants and traditional osterie.

Sicilian fried rice balls filled with ragù, cheese, or pistachio—common in Palermo and Catania markets.

Italian-style ice cream with dense texture and intense flavors—look for artisanal gelaterie avoiding overly bright colors.

Use 'Buongiorno' (good morning) and 'Buonasera' (good evening) in shops and restaurants; handshakes or cheek-kissing (twice) among acquaintances are common.

Dress modestly when visiting churches (shoulders and knees covered). Speak softly and show respect in religious sites.

Meal times are social—avoid rushing. Don’t expect to split the bill without asking; tipping modestly is fine. Bread is often served without butter, used to accompany dishes.

Many historic town centers have restricted vehicle zones—driving into them can lead to fines because license plates are recorded by cameras.

Casual punctuality is common for social gatherings; business meetings expect more punctual behavior.

Coastal trail linking the five villages with iconic sea views and terraced vineyards; sections can be steep and crowded in summer.

Classic alpine circuit around dramatic peaks offering spectacular panoramas, accessible from Rifugio Auronzo.

Scenic cliff-top trail with sweeping views of the coastline between Agerola and Positano, best in spring or autumn.

High-altitude routes in the Stelvio region with challenging climbs, mountain lakes and extensive wildlife viewing.
