ITALY IN JUNE
  • ITALY IN JUNE – "People who have travelled to Italy during the off season months of January,   February  or March would be absolutely stunned by the number of tourists that they would find in the month of June. The tourist season kicks off in Italy in April, with May and June the two of the busiest months in the country. The main reason for these many people travelling to the country in June is because of the excellent weather. It is a good time to visit, but for those who don't mind the crowds or the high prices of hotel rooms and airfares. At times, it might seem there is no slack tourist season in Italy, since no matter when you visit, you'll always find people: June is the best time to visit Italy in terms of weather but, for those planning to travel on a low budget, it is best to avoid it. In June, car rentals, airfares, hotels and pretty much all services involved in tourism tend to be more expensive. From eateries to craft and souvenirs shops, prices may well be higher than in the Autumn or the Winter." – Tue, 02/24/2015 - 00:00 – Submitted by ancos – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"
  • Italy in June – "June in Italy is the peak of the tourist season, when crowd numbers and prices are at their highest point. The temperature will climb later in the summer, but throughout Italy it’s plenty warm already in June." – May 5th, 2009 – by Jessica [Spiegel]  – "About whyGo" – Source: Italy section on whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998" 
  • Italy in June 2016  – "What to do in Italy in June" – "In terms of weather, June is almost perfect, and this is why tourists from all over the world flock to the country during this time. However, for those travelling on a tight budget, June in Italy isn’t a good idea because of the high rates of airfare, hotel rooms, and other services. Because this is peak season, be prepared to see hordes of tourists wherever you go, especially major cities like Rome, so book your hotel rooms early. If you want peace and quiet, get away from the large cities and go to the charming country villages. June is ideal for seaside activities because the water is finally starting to warm up." – "About Us" – Source: VAMORO – "where & when to travel"

ITALY TRAVEL SKILLS
  • Booking Italian Train Tickets  – "I was in Italy last month and once again I was reminded of how easy and cheap it is to travel in Italy by train. Don’t get me wrong, hiring a car is great for exploring the countryside. But, traveling Italy by train is convenient, fast, relatively cheap and a fun way to get around. Sadly, most Americans don’t have enough time to get outside of the Rome-Florence-Venice route. So, if you are trying to connect the dots between the bigger cities, I recommend traveling by train in Italy. Even exploring regions like Lombardia and the Veneto can easily be done by train."– on March 28, 2016 – by: Angel Castellanos – "About" – Source: Found in Travel Tips on Angels Travel Lounge AKA THE TRAVEL AMBASSADOR – "Travel Smart, Travel Well, Travel Often"
  • Getting Around Italy – "Italy offers tourists many options for transportation around the country. Once in Italy you don’t have to worry about this if you planned in advance the way to get around.  Italy is well-connected due to its transportation system; here you’ll find a lot of useful information and tips to travel around Italy by train, bus, car, plane, ferry and even bicycle; you must analyze all the options and choose the best for your trip, consider the size of your destination and the time that you’ll spend in the country; maybe you’ll prefer a fast means of transport, but you must be careful with your budget; Our main advice for you is: do not waste your precious vacation time." – "" – "About Us" – Source: ITALY TRAVEL AKA JustItaly.org – "YOUR TRAVEL GUIDE TO ITALY"

For this trip, and dare I say any trip, wheeled luggage with a retractable handle is the key. It's hard to believe that we once travelled without wheeled luggage. Porters have all but disappeared in most airports and train stations, so managing your luggage is now a necessity. . ." – Kathy Scopin, Tour Director – "About Us" – Source: First Trip to Italy – "Guided Tours: Italy"
    • Travel Skills: If the Shoe Fits ... – "One of the most important decisions you'll make, and one that can create the biggest dilemma is what shoes to take with you on the trip to Italy.

    • 5 Italian Street Foods to Try – "Google Italian food and immediately images of wood-fired pizzas and heaping plates of pasta pop-up. Like many, even after years of living in Italy, I don’t associate Italy with street food. We put the question to our Facebook community and taco carts were mentioned more than once along with Korean Yaki Mandu, steaming bowls of pho eaten on tiny chairs curbside in Vietnam, and lamb hot dogs smothered in rémoulade, crunchy fried onions, and sweet mustard at Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur. So when I happened to spot a Street Food Village coming to Belluno and I saw there would be a taco cart all the way from Mexico, I knew where I’d be spending my weekend! The Belluno Street Food Village is part of the Streetfood.it traveling tour, an Italian association that has been perfecting Italian recipes from all the regions of Italy that can be eaten while walking on the street.

    • Cibo di Strada: Italy’s Street Food – "Regardless of where you go, there is one thing you will find pretty much everywhere – street food! Whether it’s called take-away, street-eats, fast food, or cibo di strada; you can learn a lot about a city or region’s character and history from its street food.  Street food is mainly sold from food stands/kiosks and eaten on the go while you are out and about.  Given that Italians tend to eat dinner later, street food is a great way to curb your appetite until dinner or for tourists to try different traditional foods without breaking the bank. In recent years, Italy has seen a boom in the street food industry.  This is partly due to the economic crisis where many aspiring restaurant owners just can’t afford to open up a place and instead are taking their expertise to the streets.  And, with the changing work habits of the modern world, not everyone has the luxury of heading home to enjoy a nice long relaxing lunch with the family.  More and more people, mainly in big cities, are having to get something “al volo” or on the fly. Everyone knows that Italians take great pride in their cuisine and just because its street food doesn’t mean they will compromise on food quality.  It’s safe to say that you will still be ohhing and ahhing at the plethora of flavors you’ll find.It’s obvious that the most famous Italian street food of all is pizza, both in Italy and all over the world.  In Italy, each region has its own traditional or local street food.  So, let’s have a look at some of the most popular street foods of the bel paese." – Thursday, July 3rd, 2014 – Posted by Cherrye [Moore] – "ABOUT"  – Source: Found in the my Bella Vita Travel BLOG on the My Bella Vita TravelLLC – "Calabria: Take the Toe by the Horns!"
