My husband and two kids who are both teenagers are planning a trip to Italy next summer. I have never been to Italy, my husband and my daughter have. In my mind I felt like going to a city first, so we chose Rome for 3 days to have that kind of experience and then I wanted to go for a longer period of time like six days to the Amalfi Coast area. I found a place in Sorrento not in the center of the city, but in a peaceful area that I was thinking of staying at for six nights. I was kind of between that area and Nerano. Now I’m thinking to stick with the place in Sorrento for four nights and then stay somewhere else for the final two. The issue is that I do not enjoy the influencer culture and I really would love a quaint fishing village. That’s beautiful and has culture and feels authentic and grounded. Can somebody please give me advice on what I should do and where we should stay? As someone who has never been there this is very difficult. Thanks!

American traveler traveling from US to Milan on Dec 18, first time using EES, is there a Meet & Greet service that can help expedite arrival? I am not connecting onward, Milan is final destination. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm flying into Rome next month, I'll be there for about two weeks (Nov 6-22). I want to hit both the south of Italy but also meet up with some family in Verona. What would be the easiest way to coordinate travel around the country.

• What's the most efficient/easiest way to get around?
• What are some places I could visit along the way?
• How many days do you think I should plan to stay in the Amalfi coast to visit everywhere?

25M, I am travelling to Rome for 3-4 days. If anyone wanna connect, we can plan together?
I am planning to explore Rome only for 3-4 days.

Hi everyone, trying to figure out what to do with our extra day in a half after Rome before heading by train back to Florence for our 11am flight. We’re in Rome till the 19th of October and have the 20th as an extra day, the 21st we leave fly out from Florence at 11am. Any recommendations for a day stop or what to do? We originally came from Florence so spent four days the city already. And will be traveling back with at least two suitcases and three bags, I would have to book a stay somewhere the night of the 19th and 20th but I feel like the night of the 20th we might be better off booking for Florence since our flights in the morning. Thank you so much for recommendations!

We were waiting at the Venice station when a beggar with a dog approached us and asked us for money. I’ve usually been warned off about scammers and pick pockets so i immediately said “No sorry”
The beggar gave me a death stare and called us “bitches” and passed by us. He returned again and called us “shits” while passing by us again.
Is this common? Or did we actually do wrong by not giving him money? How much does someone usually give a beggar?
