*NEVER* do THIS when visiting Italy!

There are some things you should never do in Italy, yet most tourists still do them. After 21 years of living here, I have seen every mistake in the book… from paying for bottled water when fountains are everywhere, to hailing taxis the wrong way, to breaking unwritten food customs that make locals cringe. In this video I will walk you through the biggest mistakes visitors make in Italy and how to avoid them. You will learn why ordering a cappuccino after 11 a.m. is a faux pas, why you should plan tickets for the Uffizi and the Vatican months in advance, and how to spot tourist traps from taxis to tipping. I will also show you the unspoken rules around eating, drinking, and dress codes that can save you stress and embarrassment. Stick around until the end where I explain the number one mistake most tourists make with scammers and street vendors, and the right way to handle it so you are not caught off guard. 🛵 Italy Unlocked - Travel Guide.
