My sister just got back from a trip to Italy, and she had a fantastic time. She used Italy travel guides to help plan what she and her friend wanted to see, and by using the Italy travel guides, they were able to see much more in their time there than they would have without the guides.
She told me some interesting things about travel in Italy. For example, in Venice, where they spent most of their time, there is a daily fee tourists must pay that goes toward keeping their cobblestone streets in good repair. She said that the Italy travel guides they used did not point that out, so it came as something of a shock to them. They were happy to pay it, and felt it was a good idea. She also said that food portions in Italy are much smaller than they are in restaurants here, and the people there were so much thinner than they are here. She also said the food was just incredibly good, as the Italy travel guides said that it would be. She also said that Italians dress up much more than they do in the US, and the cities were so clean.
