Concerned about avoidable
|
It's no secret that driving in a foreign country is difficult. And driving in Italy is no exception. From windy roads to well, Rome, it's really just best avoided.

Do. Not. Drive. In. Rome.
Tourist Mistakes in Italy:
Not eating enough gelato
Ok...it sounds tongue and cheek...but...Italian gelato is amazing. It's not like what we have in the States and they have stores on practically every corner. If vacation isn't about eating ice cream, then I don't know what it is about.

Tourist Mistakes in Italy:
Visiting at the wrong time of year
Ah the magic question: when is the best time of year to visit Italy? Not in the height of summer! Long lines, frustrated crowds, and oppressive heat can make for a difficult combination. If at all possible, visit during "shoulder season," aka before and after the peak tourist times. For more on why Visiting Europe in Fall is ideal, check out the full post!
