Italy Travel eBook

STEAL OUR ITALY TRAVEL PLAYBOOK

Everything we’ve learned living in Italy full-time, so you don’t waste time, overpay, or make avoidable mistakes.

This guide includes the exact planning principles, transportation strategies, dining rules, and regional insights we use ourselves and walk clients through on strategy calls.

We don’t travel Italy casually. We live here. We’ve made the mistakes. But if you’re planning a trip here, you deserve to know how it actually works.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You’re overwhelmed trying to plan Italy
• You don’t want to waste time in tourist traps
• You’re unsure how trains, driving in Italy, or dining culture actually work
• You want to travel intentionally
• You want to avoid the mistakes most first-time visitors make

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to decide where to go based on season and travel style
• When to book trains and how to avoid overpaying
• What ZTL zones are and how to avoid fines
• How Italian restaurant culture really works
• How to avoid tourist trap meals
• How to drink wine like a local
• What to pack based on region and season
• Visa rules, ETIAS updates, and money tips

THIS GUIDE IS NOT:

• A day-by-day Italy itinerary telling you exactly what to do at 9:00 AM in Rome and 2:00 PM in Florence. If you want a fully customized, mapped-out itinerary built around your trip dates, travel style, and budget, that’s what our 1:1 Italy Strategy Calls are for.
• A list of “Top 10 Things to Do in Italy.” This isn’t a Pinterest roundup or a city guide packed with attractions. It’s the framework that helps you decide what actually makes sense for your trip.
• A magic shortcut that removes all planning. You’ll still make decisions. This just makes them smarter ones.

We’re Sam and Chris, two Americans who moved to Bologna, Italy in June 2024.

We’ve seen where people get stuck.

We’ve made mistakes ourselves.

These are the lessons we learned the hard way. This guide exists so you don’t.
