Weather of Arabia - Italy is known as the country of love, art and beauty, which is visited by tens of millions of tourists annually, with a privileged location on the Mediterranean Sea.

Despite the availability of many wonderful tourist destinations in Italy, the tourist must know many of the customs practiced by the Italians, and respect them fully in order to enjoy a comfortable and distinctive trip.

The following are 5 habits that Italians must respect when visiting their country, according to what was reported in the American newspaper "Huffington Post":

Dinner between 7 and 9:30
Try not to go to the restaurant to order dinner before seven in the evening, because the ideal time for dinner for Italians starts from seven in the evening and continues until nine thirty.

Shops close in the afternoon
Many shops close in the afternoon between 1:00 and 4:00 when shopkeepers go home to have lunch with their families and take a break.

Taxis
In many Italian cities, you cannot stop a taxi anywhere on the street, and you have to order it from a private office, or from a designated taxi stand.

Italian Language
Learn some useful language vocabulary and phrases before heading to Italy, as this will make a big difference in your experience, help you in many situations, and make you feel comfortable speaking the language of the locals.

Ask for an invoice
Do not wait for the waiter to automatically bring you the bill after you have finished eating, so ask for the bill yourself, because Italians do not like to rush to eat, but prefer to spend the longest possible time eating their meals.

Don't rush while roaming
Italy contains a huge amount of tourist, archaeological and historical areas, and a tourist cannot see all of them, as it will take a very long time. So choose some tourist sites and wait as much as possible to roam around them to enjoy special times.

I smile
Since you went to a country that inspired millions of people with its beauty and splendor, you must exchange smiles with Italians and tourists, and enjoy a trip full of beauty, art, music, culture, literature and history, to return to your home with memories of one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
