I’m going to start by saying there is nothing exaggerated about how good you hear the food is, no matter what city you travel through in Italy! I’m not a huge fan of pizza here in Canada, but there, yeah, big fan! My diet the entire time was primarily pasta, pizza, bread and cheese with a massive variety of each and it was absolutely delicious. Enough about that, let’s get into some of cities, the sights, the shopping and so on!

Milan

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Milan is a city I would describe as very urban if that makes sense. The architecture is photograph worthy and the churches are just breathtaking. Fashion is of course abound with the worlds top designers more or less lined up for you one after the other, after the other. Then of course there is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II which is an enormous indoor/outdoor shopping area that houses some pretty high end boutiques and restaurants but also more affordable stores and souvenir areas. The other amazing thing about the Galleria is that is also houses a 7 star hotel within the upper levels.

Rome

Coliseum

Rome is beautiful, everything about Rome was delightful. Fairly easy to navigate and offering some very iconic and memorable sights, it’s somewhere I am very glad I checked out. Remember you’re in Italy, so every city, especially the big ones the fashion is there. The amazing sights though, Rome just might win. If it’s the Coliseum, The Trevi Fountain or The Spanish Steps, which are just a few of the amazing sights, you really feel as though you’re getting a little glimpse into history. There was a great vibe to the city and a lot of the waiters in restaurants seemed to be very happy to try out their English which at times was helpful.

Next up we talk a little bit about Genoa and Monterosso, in other words, let’s go to the beach!
