Things To Remember
*How to get to Italy?
You’ll be flying into Italy Airport.
From the airport, we took the bus to Center Rome, (at the train station), it took a good 45-60 minutes to destination. We arrive at our first overnight stay, a small walking distance from the metro station.
*How to get around?
If you want to explore and discover as many hidden alleys and special places as possible, then walking is the best option. Wear good shoes
.
*When is the best time to travel to Italy
For us, Off-season is always the best, but lately, planes are always full !!
*Book your hotel somewhere central.
I am not putting the price of the hotel or B&B etc. because it will change due to the season. But the prices were really reasonable.
****If you can buy your tickets online, before leaving home. For the Vatican, we order our places without paying( if you show up, then you pay for your tickets)
****Depending on where you are in the city, make sure to find out the time the metro will close.
