What to do in Italy? 17 free ideas

Are you going to Italy and thinking about how to diversify your trip and make it unforgettable? We are ready to offer you seventeen ideas that will cheer you up in the beautiful country of wine and sun and keep your wallet intact.

  1. Drink water from the lion’s head. Public drinking fountains in Italy are by no means uncommon. Combine business with pleasure: quench your thirst and save a couple of euros on the purchase of bottled water.
  2. Get up at dawn and have a photo shoot. Do not be too lazy to get up early to capture special views of the place where you relax. The absence of tourists and the morning coolness will surely provide you with a mood for the whole day, and the photos taken at this moment will allow you to remember this amazing moment forever. By the way, our editor-in-chief Arthur practices this regularly, so try it.
  3. Learn a few polite words immediately upon arrival in Italy. Make yourself a small cheat sheet with the necessary phrases in Italian and try to successfully insert them into your speech. For example, use the words “per favore” you are welcome) and "arrivederci" ("arrivederchi" - goodbye).
  4. Smile more and think less about what depresses you. (By the way, this advice can be followed not only on vacation.)
  5. Every day, take one picture with the stranger you are talking to.
  6. Visit the Italian festival. You can plunge into the festive atmosphere of the Venice Carnival absolutely for free! Therefore, going to Italy, do not be lazy and look for a real local holiday or celebration, which you can attend.
  7. Ask your local resident where he usually has lunch or dinner. It is likely that the place he calls will not be in your guidebook.
  8. Visit every church that you meet along the way. All of them are amazing and unique, and many of them have an interesting legend, which the locals will share with pleasure.
  9. Order a dish in any Italian restaurant without looking at the menu. Just ask the waitress to bring you her favorite meal.
  10. Try to help the same lost tourist as you. The manifestation of humanity and compassion forces the brain to produce serotonin, which directly affects your good mood.
  11. Feel free to talk to strangers. Especially if these strangers are Italians. Who else, if not they, will tell you all the secrets and subtleties of the Italian mentality and culture.
  12. If you travel alone and alone, join the one who also spends time unaccompanied by friends and relatives. Hooking a stranger over dinner is perfectly acceptable for Italy.
  13. Climb the highest mountain in the county. The likelihood that you will find a small and charming church there is extremely high, and an amazing view from above is definitely provided to you.
  14. Complain less, even if not everything is going well and not according to plan. Do not let the little things ruin your vacation.
  15. Visit museums for free. Many Italian museums offer either huge discounts or free admission on certain days. All that is required of you is before you go on an excursion, look at the official site of the attraction and check for discounts.
  16. Chat with travelers like you. Try to find out what they did best after arriving in Italy.
  17. Download travel-friendly apps to your mobile phone. They will greatly facilitate your life in a foreign country and even help you color it in all the colors of the rainbow.
