Adventure ToursI’ve always wanted to travel through Italy. It is such a diverse country with so much to see and do. My interest was piqued when I first went to Venice and the Amalfi Coast in 2019 – I fell in love with Italy and started planning my return. It finally happened.
In September 2022, I traveled through Italy to Rome, Amalfi Coast, Milan and Lake Como in 10 days. It was the Italian vacation of my dreams. If you’re thinking of a trip to Italy, here’s a guide on what to do, things to see, where to stay, and the whole nine yards. I hope this is helpful for you if you are planning a trip to Italy.
About Italy
Italy is a popular destination in Europe and attracts a lot of travelers each year. Its capital city of, Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world by tourists. There’s so much to see and do in Italy. Italian is the main language spoken in Italy, but you will find a lot of English speakers, especially in popular cities like Rome, Milan, and Venice. This guide covers travel to Rome, Amalfi Coast, Milan and Lake Como.
Discover Italy’s wonders from Rome to Lake Como while staying connected effortlessly with an eSIM Europe, allowing seamless data access across multiple countries.
There’s no shortage of things to do in Amalfi Coast. You’ll be spoiled for choice and two days is not nearly enough to unravel everything. But if you only have two days, I highly recommend doing two things: 1.) A day trip to Capri, and 2.) Explore Positano.

Getting to Italy
Getting to Italy would depend on a lot of things, including where you currently live and if you will be pairing Italy with another European country. I live in Toronto, Canada and I flew directly to Rome via Air Canada. I recommend making this your base, or you could even do Naples as your base. In a nutshell, you will need to fly into a city in Italy to begin your Italian adventures. Note: Amalfi Coast has no airport, but you can fly into Naples and then drive to the Amalfi Coast.
Moving around in Italy
One of the things I love about Italy is the ease of moving around, especially via train. Throughout my Italian adventures, I traveled from city to city via train. I recommend getting an app called Italo. It is a good app for finding train tickets. You do not have to buy your train tickets in advance, but if you already have set plans, it doesn’t hurt to do so.
