Here’s another entry in my Italy Q&A series of posts. This one came in the form of a comment from Vivian, who says:
Hope someone can help me. I have booked a trip to Italy April 20th to May 3. Now I’m thinking that I made a mistake weatherwise and public holiday wise. I knew that [...]

Italy in May can be the stuff that dreams are made of, even if the prices are hiked accordingly. The weather is more reliably good than it is in April (though still not too hot), and tourists are flocking to Italy in droves starting in May. No, unfortunately you are not the only person who [...]

I am about to leave for Italy on March 23rd. We are planning on biking for the whole trip. We’ve been trying to decide on the best biking route with the weather [...]
