The vast, diverse, and completely different country from north to south, there are 20 regions and each of them specializes in different types of foods and traditions, and after the end of your trip there will remain a lot to see, but Before that, we have some information and advice that you should know before traveling to Italy.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 1. Italians are very friendly, and if you learn some words from their language it will give you a better interaction,.. “ <span>Ciao</span> ” or hello, “ <span>Grazie</span> ” or thank you, “ <span>Non Capisco</span> ” meaning “I don&#39;t understand”... and other words.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 2. Italians take their midday siesta very seriously. They call it reposo and it takes place from 1pm to 4pm. Expect to find many shops and restaurants closed.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 3. The new coffee shop culture does not exist here in Italy, there is no Starbucks or any other international chain, you will not find any coffee shop where you can go to sit and work on your computer.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 4. Eat late often because most restaurants open at or after 7pm, so make a plan to eat your dinners late.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 5. There is no tipping in commercial and service transactions, but in many restaurants there is a cover fee called “coperto” unless it is specified “without service fee”, and it is also possible to pay a fee when sitting in a restaurant.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 6. Cappuccinos and espressos are everywhere in Italy, and no day would be complete without one to three cups. Since they are both popular drinks, they are affordable for everyone. An espresso costs €1 and a cappuccino €1.30.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 7. Throw away everything you know about Italian food, because you won&#39;t find Bolognese pasta everywhere, only in Bologna, and cannolis are only popular in Sicily, and for the best pizza, head to Naples.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 8. For a developed country, the Wi-Fi available in Italy is pretty poor and insufficient. This might surprise you, but it&#39;s the truth.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 9. Just buying train and bus tickets is not enough, they must be activated in the nearby small machines to prove that you are using them at the time, otherwise failure to do so will expose you to a heavy fine.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 10. Beware of pickpockets in this country that includes two cities that are among the 10 most pickpocket-prone places in the world.</p>
