Know How to Relax When in Italy

Cool Down With Ice Cream From Boutique del Gelato in Venice

The temperature across Italy can really soar in the summer months, and while you can cool down with air conditioning and bottles of water, our preferred method for bringing down the body temperature is by indulging in lots of incredible Italian ice cream. Let’s face it, you’re not going to struggle to find great gelato wherever you may be in Italy, but we’d like to give a special nod to Boutique del Gelato in Venice. Some favourite flavours of ours include Amaretto, Nocciolosa (which is not a million miles away from Nutella), and Tiramisu.

Hike Through the Apuan Alps in Tuscany

Tuscany is well known for its olive groves, excellent wine production, and gorgeous countryside, but this is also a place where the famous Apuan Alps mountain range exists. If you fancy going on a brisk hike while you’re in Tuscany, traversing the land of the Apuan Alps is a fantastic idea. Because of their extraordinary beauty, these mountains are often referred to as the mountains of the moon. With well marked mountain trails, there’s no excuse not to strap on your hiking boots.    

Take a Selfie on the Spanish Steps

Rome has no shortage of iconic sites, and one of the most famous of them all has to be the Spanish Steps, a lavish set of outdoor steps that start in the Piazza di Spagna. They were created in the 18th century, and have been etched into any people’s minds through their use in popular films such as Roman Holiday and The Talented Mr Ripley. Get there early in the morning to enjoy the cool weather, and to make sure you don’t have other people in your Spanish Steps selfie shot!

Indulge a Need for Speed at the Ferrari Museum

If you have the need for speed, you need to know about the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, which is an official company museum created by Ferrari themselves. Walking through this museum gives you the chance to see some of the most iconic cars from the company’s history, and to understand the history of the company in the place where it all started.

Take in the Skyline of San Gimignano

The main cities of Italy, like Rome, Milan, and Florence, are, of course, must-visit places, but it can also be a great idea to get off the beaten track a little and get to see some of the smaller places in Italy that you won’t find in all of the tourist guide books. San Gimignano, a medieval hill town in Tuscany, is one such place. Medieval towers ride up against the skyline, making this an aesthetically unique place in the country.
