How to choose the right route for a trip?

Italy is a country that cannot be seen in one trip. The regions of Italy differ strikingly from each other, and there are so many interesting places that the eyes are just scattering. Therefore, Italy, as a good wine, is worth trying slowly, and not trying to see absolutely everything in one sitting.

The most optimal option would be to choose for one trip of one particular region, for example, Tuscany. Sovele the most interesting to visit the city. In Tuscany it can be Florence, Pisa, Siena. Of these, the largest and most interesting, of course, Florence. If you plan a trip in the summer, be sure to allocate several days to rest at sea.

Suppose the most profitable flight you found is Moscow-Rim. The city closest to Rome is Siena, then it is convenient to move to Florence, and then to Pisa, from where it is a stone's throw on the coast, for example in Vialdzhio. You will spend the first part of the trip on excursions and attractions, stopping for a couple of days in each of the cities, and the second part of the trip will take a beach vacation.

Advice: Even if you are going on a trip in winter, for the past few days you should spend on the coast or in a quiet city. Give the body the opportunity to take a break from impressions and running around from excursions. Otherwise, you risk upon returning home to feel fatigue, and not a charge of vigor after a long -awaited rest.

Features of bus tours in Italy

Organized bus tours are a very popular way of traveling in Italy among Russians. Such tours, as a rule, include a complete set of travel agencies (flight, visa, accommodation, moving between cities).

The tour provides for a visit to 5-10 cities and a ready-made package of excursions (usually by default there are sightseeing excursions in each of the cities of stay and visit a couple of the most significant attractions on the route).

The main plus of the bus tour: the ability to see the maximum attractions of Italy for relatively little money. For those who do not speak foreign languages, and are afraid of independent travels, a big plus will be the presence of a permanent guide-translator during the entire trip.

The minus can be considered almost daily crossings between cities, sometimes for many hours. The night crossings are especially tired. When booking the bus tour, be sure to check with the travel agent what options for the nights are provided on the route - stops in hotels or an overnight stay on the bus.

A relative disadvantage can be considered the need to adapt “under the team”. Typically, the group consists of 30-50 people, and the leaders of the trip adhere to strict organizational rules: you can’t be late, a strictly defined time is allocated for lunch and dinners, often you cannot choose a restaurant, a hotel, and even more so change the route.

The main resorts and main tourist cities of Italy

The most famous Italians were born precisely in Tuscany: Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Botticelli, Bokkaccio, Galileo, Petrarch and many others.

Rest on Sardinia

Sardinia is an island in the Tyrrne Sea opposite the central part of Italy. It is believed that the coast of Sardinia is the most beautiful and clean sea in Italy. The island adore the divers of all stripes, since there is a very interesting topography of the bottom, and there are many sunken ships.

The banks of Sardinia are cut by rocky bays and tiny sandy beaches. As such, there are no resort cities in Sardinia, all hotels are separate, and the local population is very small. Therefore, rest in Sardinia can be called the most calm and secluded of all Italian resorts.

However, if desired, there is something to entertain the whole family: Sardinia has a water park and a botanical garden, ancient ruins and medieval buildings, foot tourist trails and caves of incredible beauty.

Bird pink flamingos

Recently, the famous pink flamingos have chosen the shores of Italy for themselves as a place of permanent residence and withdrawal of chicks. They can be found in large quantities on Sardinia, in Apulia, recently small colonies of Flamingo appeared near Rimini and Venice.

Flamingo is rather shy birds, so it will be possible to observe them only from afar. If you have good equipment with a zummer, you can see them close, and you are unlikely to be physically able to get closer to the birds.

Shopping in Italy

The generally recognized capital of shopping in Italy is considered to be Milan.

What should be taken into account during shopping in Italy?

• The sales season is twice a year: from January to March and from July to September. The largest discounts are provided at the end of the season, but the choice from the last month will be very limited, since everything has already been sold out

• You will find the best prices in outlets that are at any resort. Discounts are provided in outlets year -round, and the choice of brands there is simply huge
• Some outlets reach enormous sizes - these are whole trading villages. Such outlets often provide additional services: delivery of the purchased goods to the hotel, transfer, stylist services, children's room and much more

• Another option to save on prices is to go for a purchase in special stores at factories (spatchi). If the goods from the factory are sold directly only wholesale and only large distributors, in Spatch, you can buy the same thing in retail, and the goods of past collections are a significant discount.

Italian transport and kitchen

Public transport of Italy

In a nutshell, the Italian city transport is something like this: the larger the city, the better the transport network is developed and the movement in space does not cause difficulties.

The smaller the city, the more modest its transport park, the intervals of movement are larger, and the prices are higher. Small cities on the coast with the rest of the world are sometimes connected by a single bus, the schedule of which is set by the driver, depending on the mood and household chores.

Bus message is most developed. In large cities there is a metro, in Venice - public water transport. Tickets for urban transport are purchased in Tabacco kiosks, and different types of travel travel for 1, 3, 5 days or more are often offered, which can save on the passage.

The purchased ticket must be comed down in the bus salon, otherwise your passage will not be considered paid. In large cities, buses stop at all stops, and sometimes buses stop on routes between small cities only at the request of passengers.

Typically, buses work from early morning until 2 a.m. In the summer, during the influx of tourists in many cities and resorts, night buses work. The fare for them is higher than on daily flights, and the purchased ticket can only be used at night.

Italy has no federal bus network. Each area solves this problem in its own way. Typically, bus lines are served by a small local company within its region. Therefore, long -term intercity moves over long distances are more convenient to make by train.

The national railway carrier is called Trenitalia and connects all the main cities of the country. There are high -speed and ordinary trains, the cost of a ticket can vary depending on the class and time of day. It is possible to pre -booking and payment of tickets on the company's website (the site can be viewed here). Often there are different promotions and sales, there is a flexible system of discounts.

Italian kitchen

Italian cuisine is the most popular national cuisine. In any city in the world, you can easily order pizza, spaghetti bolonesis, Tiramisu and Kapuccino. But Italian cuisine, of course, is much more diverse, and even these simple dishes prepared by real Italians are very different from what they serve in our restaurants.

There are a great many types and methods of preparing traditional Italian dishes. Each region has its own culinary traditions, its own crown dishes and secret recipes. But there are several rules common to all Italy (especially for small cities or not too much tourist places).

• In Italian street restaurants, they often adhere to a strict schedule. If the sign shows that lunch is served from 12:00 to 14:00, then you will be happy at this time. Come after the indicated time - they will offer light snacks, or they will ask you to wait for dinner
• Kapuccino in Italy is customary only for breakfast. They will not understand you if at lunchtime you order a bun and coffee in the restaurant, and not a full food. There were times when tourists were refused maintenance if their order did not comply with the time of day
• As such soup in Italy is absent. On the first Italians eat paste (i.e. pasta in different types), on the second meat, vegetables and other denser dishes. In northern Italy, the pasta is replaced with risotto (rice)

• Water in the restaurant is supplied free of charge as a bonus to the main order. Carbonated water is called "Aqua Frisanti", ordinary drinking - "aqua natural"
• In many restaurants, you can find complex dinners (an analogue of our business lunch), when you get a set of two or three dishes and a drink for a fixed small price. Such a lunch in Italian is called "Tourist menu" or "Del Jorno menu"
• If there is a separate line “Coperto” in the account, this means that tips are already included in the price and you can take the entire change to a penny. If there is no such line, you can leave the amount at your discretion

• Restaurants are the most expensive institutions in Italy. Taverns and osteria are more democratic institutions, but the quality of food in them sometimes leaves much to be desired
• The most optimal option is tractoria - small family restaurants in which you will be offered high -quality home food at quite acceptable prices. The owners of Trattoria very reverently protect their reputation, stale foods and poorly cooked dishes in tractoria - Moveton

• In addition to restaurants in Italy, different types of bars are popular, where you can also have a snack. There is always a large selection of Butyrodes in Paninotex
• "Bars-Kafe" mainly offer pastries. In the "Pasticuria" there will be for the most part sweet cakes and cakes. Service in a bar near a rack is always much cheaper than at a table
• Of course, you must definitely visit the pizzeria. Firstly, you will definitely not find such a pizza assortment as in Italy anywhere else. Secondly, pizza is prepared here in special wood furnaces, which gives it a completely unique taste. Thirdly, in all pizzerias you can order pizza for removal, moreover, you can order both for the whole and in separate pieces

Features of the Italian mentality

• Italians often express their emotions out loud, loudly and not embarrassed. This can be either admiration (especially in relation to the weak sex), or condemnation (if something in your manner of behavior seemed to them reprehensible). Foreigners such a manner of behavior often embarrasses
• Italians are very religious, conservative and devoted to the family. It is worth showing great delicacy in communication if the topic concerns religion, traditions or close interlocutors. It is easy to hurt the Italian in these matters, and his anger is terrible (see more)

• Italians are absolutely not able to observe discipline. Late or petty violation of the law here is considered the norm, and people who require strict compliance with the rules are perceived as bores and condemned
• In Italian there is no word “conscience”. It is translated from Russian as “shame”, “morality”, “confusion”, etc., but there is no words denoting it precisely the internal moral framework. Draw the conclusions yourself))
• Also, the lack of haste is considered absolutely natural. The slowness seems to be ordinary laziness to tourists, but Italians really value such a thing as “the art of living” - which means enjoy every moment without fuss

• Italians love to meet on clothes. The better you are dressed, the more dignity (but not arrogance!) In your behavior, the better you will treat you. In general, the Italians are obsessed with the image, appearance and prosperity
• Italians are very respectful about the older people. Grandpa and grandmothers are the main members of any family. On the street, an elderly person is customary to show special respect (let go ahead, give a hand in transport, etc.). Disrespectful attitude towards elders, and even more so rudeness in relation to the elderly here is simply unacceptable

• The Italians-Sevens and the Italians-Yuzhans are quite different from each other. In general, the rivalry of the north and south is a long -standing painful theme of Italy. They are so different that, for example, films shot in the south are broadcast in the north with subtitles
• Residents of the north of Italy in mentality are very similar to other Europeans (French or Swiss), but the farther to the south, the more temperament, patriarchy and simplicity, sometimes reaching ignorance

• There are quite a lot of criminal elements in large cities: theft of cars, theft of bags and even robberies are not uncommon. It is worth taking care of the safety of a rented car in advance, bags should be worn so that it is difficult to tear them out of hands, and it is better to leave too expensive jewelry for “walking” in other countries
