Italy Travel Blogs

Italy's stunning Mediterranean coastline and climate make it a popular destination to travel to. Rural towns offer a glimpse of traditional Italian life, whilst the bustling cities provide stunning architecture, world-famous landmarks and a vibrant nightlife. Structural remnants of the Roman Empire scatter the country and a visit to a traditional Baths is a must.

Italian cuisine is world famous, and the variety and freshness of Italian produce will make any mouth water - before the ingredients even reach the chef's pan. To work up an appetite, the Italian coast provides opportunities for sailing and water-sports, whilst the northern mountain regions offer excellent skiing destinations.

Sicília, parte 2 Europe » Italy » Sicily » Palermo

Agrigento

Dias 78 a 81 - Pela manhã, todos ainda estavam em Catania. Fomos os quatro juntos à feira da cidade, a maior da Itália. Os preços eram ridiculamente baratos, mesmo convertendo-os para o Real. Segundo Golpal, o indiano, os preços eram baratos até para a Índia. Aproveitando-se disso, ele comprou uma ridícula blusa de cinco euros para sua namorada. Perguntou se eu queria ver sua foto. Esperava ver uma velha gorda indiana, pois Golpal já não era nenhum garoto. Em vez disso, uma belíssima jovem de vinte e poucos anos. Mesmo assim, seu presente seria uma blusa comprada em um camelô.

O Extremo Norte da África Europe » Italy » Sicily » Catania

Catania

Dias 73 a 77 - Os italianos me avisaram: “você estará saindo da Itália quando for a Sicília”. Alguns diziam ser o pior lugar da Europa, outros retratavam a ilha como um paraíso. Jamais havia pensado em chegar tão longe na Itália, mas, depois de tudo que ouvi, não poderia deixar na ilha que já foi grega, romana, árabe, normanda, e, agora, pertence à Máfia. Falassem mal ou bem, todos diziam o mesmo: “vá e veja”. Giovanni cutucou meu ombro às dez da manhã dizendo ser a hora do check-out. Nada me irrita mais do que albergues que se importam com [View Full Entry]

Funicolí, Funicolá Europe » Italy » Campania » Naples

Nápoles

Dias 68 a 72 - Uma cidade litorânea abandonada pelo poder público e dominada por um poder paralelo. Bairros onde a polícia não pode entrar. Ambulantes pelas ruas. Trânsito caótico. Pedestres que, de uma hora para a outra, podem ter seus pertences roubados por motoqueiros. Lixo e cocô de cachorro pelo chão. Como diria Ancelmo Gois, deve ser terrível viver num lugar assim. Nápoles, entretanto, ainda é uma cidade italiana - e a Itália ainda fica na Europa. Os mencionados problemas da antiga capital do Sul da Itália só chamam atenção por isso. Nápoles poderia, sem dúvidas, ser uma aprazível cidad [View Full Entry]

Sweet Thoughts Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Bergamo

I feel I should warn anyone reading this that the first little part of this particular blog has nothing to do with Italy. It's just an odd thought that came into my head: you know how when you take off dirty socks in the middle of the day, its really gross if you have to put them back on again because they're "dirty". The odd thing about this is that it never would have crossed you mind that it was gross to wear them if you had never taken them off. When I first thought of it, it seemed like such [View Full Entry]

dwight at duomos cathedral

we got our flight to milan really early on the 3rd of september. when we arrived we went straight to the main train station to meet our host stefano. after 10 min he showed up and took us to his house wich was really central. a really cool house, big living room, not many furniture...really a architect's house. he showed us a couple of places to go before he went back to work. we decided to see the duomo cathedral. the cathedral is quite impressive, really beautiful, but besides that and a italian version of galeries lafayette, i don't think there's [View Full Entry]

Ravenna Italy Europe » Italy » Emilia-Romagna » Ravenna

Abby, Matt, Me at the first museum

The weekend after Fall Break, me, my roommate Caryn, our friend Abby (from our program) and another friend Matt went to Ravenna, which is about an hour and a half from Florence. We took a train which was not that expensive. When we got there it was confusing on which way to go first. We eventually figured out where to go first to buy tickets. We bought tickets for all 4 places to see the mosaics, but they were not all connected. The first place we went was a courtyard and then we went to a church filled with mosaics. It [View Full Entry]

Life on the farm Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Pisa

Wow it's been awhile. We've been biking almost every day since Florence in some pretty remote parts of Tuscany so it's been hard to find time to write. Biking through Tuscany has been an interesting experience. On one hand the food is amazing and everywhere you look there's olive trees and fields of vineyards turning yellow and orange. But on the other hand those "rolling hills of Tuscany" are not quite what I pictured. They're actually more like little mountains with roads that run straight up and straight down them. We found this out the hard way on our first bike [View Full Entry]
