UEFA euro cup in Rome

Hello!

I will be in Rome on Sunday when Italy plays against England. Is there any place where locals meet and watch the game on a wide screen TV? I was in Florence and watched Italy - Belgium and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!

Best regards

Hi Everyone,

We need some advice. I’ll try and fill in as many gaps so this won’t be painful. My family loves to travel and Italy has been our favorite destination. On multiple longer trips..and some shorter..we’ve hit Rome, A little of Umbria, a lot of Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Amalfi Coast, Lakes Como and Maggiore and Venice. We had the kids for 2 weeks on one of these. We planned to hit Sicily the last 2 Summers but it was not to be and had to cancel. We are now coming end of November now..Thanksgiving week..and are flying into Rome.

With all that laid out we are driving from Rome so we don’t want to go too far..maybe 3 hours any direction. That gives us really regions of Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, parts of Campania, Abruzzo and Molise. I’m guessing on some. I know it’s rainy season and is chilly. We are fine with as our honeymoon there was in October.

So with all that said and where we’ve been what would be a beautiful area for that time of year where we can see midieval villages, maybe some leftover Fall colors, great food/wine vineyards? I’ve thought about going off script with Abruzzo or Le Marche but we love Tuscany so much. I know there are pros here. Appreciate y’all!

Hoping to spend 10-14 nights in Tuscany next April for the wife’s 50 birthday. We’re flying into Pisa and hiring a car. Been to northern Italy plenty of times but this will be our first trip to Tuscany. I’m really just looking for ideas where best to stay 2-4 nights in each place. Small villages, picturesque towns. No big cities. If people just shout out a few towns I’ll take a look and work out our itinerary.

Hello:

I am considering a trip that covers both the Austrian Alps and the Italian side. Cost-wise, I understand that Austria is in between Germany and Switzerland. What about northern Italy (the Dolomites)? In the past ten years, I have only been to Rome and the Amafi Coast, neither of which offered cheap lodging. It seems that Italy is an affordable country for locals, but not for tourists. I was in other parts of Italy before, but those trips were in the pre-Euro days. I also understand that northern Italy is more affluent than the southern part, and therefore wonder what travel costs are compared to the Austrian side.

I have not decided upon the mode of transport yet. However, should I choose to rent a car, I will do so in Austria or Germany to save $.

Hello! Flying into Rome (no other option) and trying to figure out a couple of challenges:

1. Do we stay in Sorrento and launch tours of Capri and the AC from there or do we stay in Positano? (We won’t have a car)

2. What’s the best way to get to either city from Rome? I’ve heard take a train to Naples but from there I have no clue. I’ve also heard to take the train to Salerno but they would require a connection in Naples and tbh I’m nervous about public transport from there.

Suggestions? TIA!

Hey there. We are planning a trip to Italy (and Paris) next June. We are bringing our DDs, first timers to Europe, ages 21 and 16. I’ve been reading through itineraries, guide books, youtube videos of Italy and getting so excited. We have limited time (only 10 nights in Italy) and we are packing in A LOT I know. We are considering using Zicasso or another company to make the most of our time, especially since we are trying to do so much...Here’s our latest itinerary so far. (we like to see as much as possible/get a taste so we know where to spend more time the next time:)

We are headed to Italy in September for a wedding in Amalfi. We are staying in Rome for 2 days before heading down there and we’ll stay there for 4 nights as she has 3 events planned. We are leaving Amalfi on the 14th back to Rome for another 3 days before we fly out. My question is there a day trip recommendations on our way back to Rome? We are planning on taking the ferry to Salerno and than train to Rome. We will have our luggage with us. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hi I am looking at traveling to Italy hopefully before the end of 2021 I have autism spectrum disorder and therefore can’t tolerate a mask. At home I am exempt from wearing a mask but I am wondering what I will need in Italy. I currently have a note saying that I can’t wear a mask and my diagnosis both written in English is this sufficient or will I need it translated into Italian?

Hi. I am hoping to visit Italy next year and I’m currently on the lookout for reasonable airfare for the end of March/beginning of April. Is this a pretty good time to come weather wise? Rome is a must do and there are several other places I’d like to see and I have to figure out a reasonable itinerary for 14 nights. Florence, Venice, Bergamo, CinqueTerre, Burano, Lucca, Orvieto, Amalfi Coast, San Gimignano are all on my wish list. This will be my and my husbands first trip overseas. I like culture and my husband likes the outdoors and hiking. I would like to also stay in a agroturismo during part of our stay. I think three full days in Rome would be good and the rest divided up perhaps between Florence, Cinque Terra and Orvieto might work? Perhaps flying in and out of Rome/Florence. Does this sound doable?

Just looking for some additional advice or recommendations - here is what we have so far;

8/26 - Arrive at FCO 745am, will take car service to our hotel (Hotel Martis Palace) to drop luggage and start exploring Rome.

8/27 - Rome. Vatican museum.

8/28 - Rome. Colosseum tour.

8/29 - 710am Fresciarossa train to Milan. Arrives 1050am. Already booked the tickets. Pick up car rental and drive to Lake Como. Staying in Diamond Apartments in Bellagio.

8/30 - More Lake Como. Staying same place.

8/31 - Driving to the Dolomites. Staying at the Hotel Angelo Engel in Ortisei.

9/01 - Dolomites. Won’t bore everyone with the list of hikes, but the hikes and scenic pass drives are the main reason for coming to the area. That and some of the lakes in the area.

9/02 - Dolomites

9/03 - Dolomites

9/04 - Dolomites, then driving back to Milan, staying at the Sheraton airport hotel that is literally in the terminal.

9/05 - 1020am flight back to US.

I think having basically 3 full days/nights in Rome is this plenty. Not sure that a day and a half (2 nights) will give us much time in Lake Como, but we’ve never been and would like to check it out unless someone has a better option. I think our time in Dolomites will give us enough time to do some hikes and explore the area. Obviously I’d rather have weeks to spend in each area, but unfortunately that isn’t an option haha.

Any suggestions or recommendations for these areas?
