If you have a travel bucket list and Italy isn’t on there, you’re making a big mistake. Italy is one of the best places in the world, in my opinion. It has something for everyone, so there’s no way you won’t have a wonderful time here. If you need more convincing to add Italy to your bucket list, check out these awesome reasons:
The Food is to Die for — The food in Italy is one of the main reasons to visit. You’ve never had food like it! You won’t find any ‘pub’ food here. Absolutely nothing is microwaved and everything is made fresh in house. Sometimes you can even see the food being made in front of you! You’ll love the fresh food, whether you have pizza, pasta, or fish. Not forgetting the ice cream, either. Italy will definitely make you put on a few pounds, but you won’t mind when the food tastes this good!
The Weather is Lovely — The weather is lovely in Italy most of the year. Don’t get me wrong, it can rain sometimes. Sometimes there are even thunderstorms. However, you can bet most of the time the sun is shining. You’ll need to research different times of year depending on how hot you want it to be. It’s still nice and warm during October!
They are Generous With Their Alcohol — If you like a drink, you can rest assured that the Italians are generous with their alcohol. They don’t measure shots or anything here! You can even go on a wine tasting tour in some of the most famous regions. Sites like http://www.toursoftuscany.com.au can give you more information.
The Views are Incredible — Wherever you stay in Italy, you’d struggle to find a bad view. There are beaches, mountains, and historical areas that you’ll just love looking at. You’ll never find an ugly building, as they are all so historic looking and full of character.
The People are Friendly — The majority of people in Italy are really friendly. They’ll likely greet you with 2 kisses on the cheek, a hug, or at least a handshake. It depends on your relationship to them, but be prepared for anything! Learn a phrase or two and they’ll like you even more for putting in the effort.
The Fashion is Out of This World — Milan is one of the fashion capitals of the world. Bigger Italian cities showcase some amazing fashion – you’ll love shopping in the designer boutiques! There are even cute little shops that you won’t find anywhere else, so you can find something unique to take home with you.
There are Lots of Beaches — If you simply want to relax and top up your tan, there are lots of beaches to choose from. You can even have lunch overlooking the sea.
I hope you loved this guide and you’ll add Italy to your bucket list as a result. You won’t regret it. If you’ve been to Italy and you love it too, leave your own reasons below. Ciao for now!
