Travelling in Italy: Best Places to Visit
If travelling in Italy isn’t on your bucket list, why isn’t it? Italy is home to incredible food and drink, awe-inspiring history, and perfect romance. Italy comes highly-hyped, but for good reason: travelling in this Mediterranean paradise is a dream come true. If you’re preparing for a trip to Bella Italia, let TourRadar be your guide to all things Italian.
Is any trip to Italy complete without a visit to Rome? This ancient city welcomes more than 4 million travellers each year, and for good reason: its art, culture, and food have attracted some of the greatest minds in history. Take in the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon -- to name a few! The sights in Rome are never-ending.
Italy is one of the most religiously-significant countries in the world. Join us as we explore Vatican City: gawk at St. Peter’s Basilica, Pieta, the Altar of St Jerome, and the iconic painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, one of Michelangelo’s greatest masterpieces. Travelling Italy means never lacking for incredible views.
Speaking of views, what about something for those looking to kick back and relax? Italy isn’t all urban exploration, of course. Thankfully, we’re more than happy to cover Italy’s incredible coast. Check out the Sorrento Peninsula -- tour a mozzarella farm, or just marvel at the beach views. Take a dip in the sea, or travel further inland for amazing views paired with even more amazing wine.
It’s almost impossible to describe all that Italy has to offer in just one video, but we’ve sure tried! Of course, if you feel like you haven’t been able to see it all, there’s only one solution: start planning an Italian adventure of your own, and get ready to spend some time travelling in Italy.

How to Travel in Italy By Train (Cheapest Tickets) | Rome, Florence, Venice
In this video, I'll be showing you the COMPLETE guide on how to book a train ticket to travel around Italy and also the difference between first class and second class seats for Italian trains. I recommend this for use on the trains:

*Differences Between Regional and Long Distance Trains in Italy*
First off, there are two types of trains: One that goes long distances using the high speed rail, like going from Rome to Florence.
The other train is the regional trains. These go shorter distances like Milan to Como.
*How to Book a Regional Train in Italy*
Example train routes:
Milan to Como
Florence to Pisa
- The Regional trains don’t need to be bought in advance.
- Once you’re at the station there will be ticket machines to purchase the tickets.
- The prices are fixed so it isn’t cheaper if you buy in advance. There are no assigned seats so if you want a seat get on the train right when it arrives.
- Also don’t forget to validate your train ticket before hopping on. If you don’t do this, you’ll get fined!
The regional trains make it super easy to do little short one day trips to another city.
*How to Book a Long Distance Train in Italy*
The below is the cheapest and easiest method to book a long distance train from two cities such as Venice to Florence.
- All seats on these trains are reserved.
- I found that buying my ticket from Italiarail.com was the easiest to use. Some say it could be cheaper if you are buying two or more tickets. I’ve looked on other sites and it was the cheapest I could find at the time.
- The website charges a small service fee of 3.50 euros per transaction. HOWEVER, if you book it with Seat61.com, you can email them afterward to get the service fee refunded.
Here is a list some other sites you could compare prices with:
italiarail.com
loco2.com
trenitalia.com
If you are traveling with two people I suggest getting seats facing each other on the side.
* The Difference Between First and Second Class Seating*
Standard seating:
- Decent space to put luggage
- Cloth seats
- Comfortable
First Class seating:
- 25 euros more/person on avg.
- Leather seats
- A bit more leg room
- Free drink and snack
- Extra room for large luggage
Overall, I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost.
*Common Italian Train Station Names (Translated English to Italian)*
Rome: Stazione Terimini
Venice: Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia
Florence: Firenze Santa Maria Novella
Milan: Milano Centrale
For Rome the main station you should take is Station Termini because it is walking distance to all the sights. Roma Ostiense and Roma Triburtina stations are all on the outskirts of the city so you would have to take a local train or taxi into the city center.
Here are how long the train takes from one city to the next:
Rome to Florence 1 hour and 32 minutes
Venice to Florence takes 2 hours and 5 minutes
Florence to Milan takes 1 hour and 41 minutes

A note from Helen:
Hi everyone! We wanted to explore a bit of gorgeous Italy and travelling in a cosy campervan was the most affordable and flexible option! We picked up our camper car in Rome and it was an amazing way to see this stunning country. It was my first visit here and I can't WAIT to go back! I would love to hear your comments on where else in Italy we should see! Happy Travels, Helen

Venice Trip, Italy
Location: Venice, Italy
Coordinates: 45°26′15″N 12°20′9″E
Venice (Italian: Venezia, Venetian: Venesia) is a city in northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry, and is the capital of the region Veneto, with a population of about 272,000 (census estimate 1 January 2004). Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area (population 1,600,000).
The name is derived from the ancient tribe of Veneti that inhabited the region in Roman times.The city historically was the capital of an independent city-state. Venice has been known as the La Dominante, Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, City of Water, City of Masks, City of Bridges, The Floating City, and City of Canals. Luigi Barzini, writing in The New York Times, described it as undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man. Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The classical Venetian boat is the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Many gondolas are lushly appointed with crushed velvet seats and Persian rugs. Less well-known is the smaller sandolo. The main transportation means are motorised waterbuses (vaporetti) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city's islands, and private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.
Convenient, Affordable Camper Stop - VENICE, ITALY
After LOADS of research to find a convenient and affordable camper friendly stop close to Venice I kept returning to the same one: SAN GIULIANO VENICE
Options for using a campervan to visit Venice are either terribly expensive, inconvenient or both. The only camper parking available ON the Island of Venice itself is nothing more than 'parcheggio' style parking with no services and a high 12 hourly tariff known to leave a bitter taste. For a marginally more affordable option serviced by ferries, one can possibly look at camp spots around Fusina or even Punta Sabioni. The latter is serviced by the ACTV waterbuses with fairly regular options and Fusina is serviced with a private ferry to Venice. If you intend to get a time-based ACTV travel pass it might be worth considering Punta Sabioni but take into account how busy the waterbuses can get as well as the time it takes to travel to and from Venice.
In contrast, the San Guiliano Motorhome and Caravan Park charges a 24h flat rate of 18EUR (as of posting this video) regardless of the number of occupants of the vehicle - with camper services and amenities such as hot showers and toilets. As optional extra electricity hook-up is available at 4EUR per 24 hours.
Options for reaching Venice is to make use of the Marive Boat Shuttle which runs hourly from San Guiliano ( but you are limited to the schedule and the last return is 18:00.
We found the best option is to make your way to the San Guiliano Tram / Bus stop and take an ACTV bus or tram to Venice. This service is available around the clock and one-way tickets are 1.50EUR. There is a saving if you buy 10-ticket booklets or you can opt for the time based 24/48/72 hour pass. The time-based pass includes unlimited travel on the Venice waterbuses so it might be worth considering this option.
From the camper stop, you can walk 15 min via the adjacent city park to the bus/tram stop which is just over 1 km away. The path is well lit and safe to use all hours of the day. There is a cycle path as well and we found it to be the most convenient option to cycle through the park and leave our bicycles at the park side of the road close to the bus stop.

The most beautiful model railway layout of Italy - State of the Art of Rail transport modelling
The new model railway layout of Italy is really a masterpiece and a work of art in the field of model building. It is located at the so-called “Wonderland of Miniatures” in Germany. Only then, when Pilentum was editing and cutting this YouTube video, he was able to find the thousands of details. Visitors of this model railroad exhibit will be a little overloaded because every square meter amazing, impressive and loving details. There are hundreds of little stories which a told by the sceneries of the model trains layout. Furthermore, the day and night illumination in Liguria and on the Amalfi Coast is impressive because it is like a light show. I guess, you must have seen this overwhelming scale model exhibit in Germany in person. More information and a lot of photos are available at for free.
A Family Guide to the Amalfi Coast - Tips & Advice - Traveling with Kids can be fun!
We are wrapping up our month-long Europen vacation and finish on the Amalfi Coast. After disembarking from the Jewell of the Seas we took a private transfer to Pompeii for a private tour with Lala Nastrucci. We can express how much all of us enjoyed this tour and Lala was amazing with the kids. She definitely is highly recommended if you are visiting this region and need a guide. Here is her information
After a wonderful day in Pompeii we continued to Sorrento which became our home base for the next few days. Sorrento is one of our favorite places in the world and we love it there. Great food, shopping, and easy to get to other locations along the Amalfi Coast.
From Sorrento we day tripped to Positano & Capri on separate days. Both locations are great, but if you only have one-day available we highly recommend Positano!
It was a sad day when we left Sorrento and we are already planning a return.
We hope that you enjoy our channel and learn a little something from our adventures. We will soon be producing detailed videos on each location with more detailed information. Make sure you subscribe and ring the bell to see all of our upcoming videos!

VENICE: Grand Canal - part 1 [HD]
Taking a water bus from Piazza San Marco to Piazzale Roma, on the Grand Canal.
The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos.
The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande) forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.
It is 3,800 m long, 30--90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).
-----------------------------------------
The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute (Saint Mary of Health) is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica.
The Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal.
The Church of San Stae, an abbreviation for Saint Eustachius, was founded at the beginning of 11th century and reconstructed in 17th century, has a main facade (1709) on the Grand Canal.
The Church of San Simeone Piccolo, from across the Grand Canal, faces the Venezia Santa Lucia railway station. This was one of the last churches built in Venice.

Venice Italy - Tour the Hidden Parts of Veneza Italia
Tour Some of the Hidden Parts of Venice Italy on our Venice Tour of Italy. Our Veneza Italia tour travel guide features some hidden parts of the city of Venezia, Italia as well of some of the mainstream Venice attractions. Venice highlights include the gardens of the Biennale Exhibition of Modern Arts, Palladio’s Church of San Pietro in Castello, the Naval Museum with a model of the Bucintoro (Doge’s Boat) and the Pavilion of Gondolas housing Peggy Guggenheim’s own vessel.
Venice Guide
The Veneto, the mainland province around Venice, takes its name from the Veneti, the pre-Roman inhabitants of the region. The region bore the brunt of fierce and destructive barbarian attacks that began in the 4th century. Fleeing the Goths, the people of the Veneto sought refuge among the wild and uninhabited islands of their marshy coast.
Building on a patchwork of more than 100 low-lying islands in the middle of a swampy lagoon they formed villages and the city of Venice rose in 421 AD. By the 13th century Venice ruled Byzantium. At its height, Venice was one of the greatest military and commercial powers on earth. In population it was four times the size of Rome and London combined. In 1508 the Pope, the kings of France and Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor joined forces to stop the advances of this powerful empire.
Venice Tour Video
Although her expansion was halted, the city of Venice continued to dominate the eastern Mediterranean for another 200 years. In 1846 Venice lost its isolation when a causeway joined the city to the mainland and the Italian rail network. The region's architecture, paintings and way of life reflect the splendor of Venice and the impact she had on the world. In addition to being home to magnificent art and architecture, Venice and the Veneto are laced with an exceptional network of navigable canals and waterways. In the lagoons and canals of Venice, one sails past colourful waterfront houses, under Renaissance bridges and close to magnificent historic sites such as St. Mark's Cathedral.
Known to Venetians as Canalazzo, the Grand Canal weaves its way through Venice's six districts or sestieri following the course of an ancient river bed. The two-mile-long Grand Canal serves as the city's main thoroughfare. Its average depth is 9 feet and the width varies from 120 to 228 feet. On its borders are some of the finest palaces of the Republic
Our Cruise in Venice, Italy
When it comes to river cruises, Italy is a country seemingly designed to host them. Its beautiful canals and rivers pass through diverse landscapes and nature en route, from picturesque lagoon islands with their colourful houses, to wild beach dunes and pine woods with an abundance of birdlife.
These waterways were once the ancient trade routes used by the Romans and the early Mediterranean settlers before them, and cruises around Italy are perfect for gaining a real insight into the many cultures - including Roman, Etruscan, Istrian, Byzantine and of course Renaissance - which have influenced the arts, architecture and history of the region over many centuries.
Throughout the season the 20 passenger La Bella Vita provides Italian river cruises that encompass the romance and architecture of Venice as well as the captivating lakeside setting of the Renaissance city of Mantua. Venice is, of course, the crowning jewel of most Italian river cruises, but Mantua, in central northern Italy, has also been (and still is) a hub of art, culture and music for centuries. The route inland takes you along the River Po and the Bianco Canal through the Po Valley.
Delicious seafood, local culinary specialities, fine wines and attentive service complete the experience of this fairytale adventure, and explain the appeal of our boutique Italian river cruises. Luxuriating in a friendly and relaxing boat environment, travellers have an opportunity for a unique perspective on some magnificent Italian cities.
La Bella Vita is a stylish twenty-passenger vessel offering comfortable, fully air-conditioned accommodation. She has two upper deck junior suites and eight lower deck staterooms, all offering en suite facilities, and a bright, spacious dining room and bar area where delicious Italian specialities will be served. Louvre doors open to the side to give a perfect view. Above, there is a huge sun deck with comfortable loungers to relax on with a drink and a good book, or just watch the world go by.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especially on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions.
