Italy is one of the most beautiful countries to visit in Europe and quite popular on European Bucket Lists. Who wouldn’t get itchy feet when thinking about Cinque Terre, the canals of Venice, and don’t even get me started on Italian food. I love Italian food. Pizza, pasta, give me all the carbs, I feel no remorse and no reason to apologize. Here are some of my very own tips worth knowing before heading to Italy!
Sunshine, pizza, wine, history, and la bella vita. Italy is a dream destination for many travelers. Instagram is full of Rome's great architecture, influencers posing in Positano, and tourists strolling through Venice. A city that doesn’t seem to rank high on many bucket lists is Naples - for a couple of reasons.
Zwei kleine Italiener, tie träumten von Napoli… is a song by German singer Conny Froboess, who performed it at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1962. It is a song about ‘Two little Italians dreaming of Naples’ and I always have this song stuck in my head when Naples comes up. Naples is the third-largest city in Italy and located in the region of Campania. Even though it might not be your average tourist destination, it definitely has a lot to offer.
The ancient city of Pompeii in the Italian region of Campania is probably one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world. Even though I've heard a lot about it in history and also Latin lessons (yes, I actually studied Latin in high school), I've never made it to the ancient site until just recently!
