Creator's Key Takeaways

It was an epic adventure. We're going to show you all the incredible things that we saw and did, but we're also going to show you some of the hiccups.

You can never 100% trust the schedule for trains and buses in Italy.

This unassuming place honestly has the best gelato I've ever had in my life.

Standing at the rim of one of the world's most famous volcanoes is an unforgettable experience.

Book Vatican and Colosseum tickets online in advance to avoid long lines.
Use a neck fan to combat intense summer heat in Italy.
Book Colosseum tickets directly through the official website for the best value.
Consider staying in Garbatella in Rome for a more local feel.
