Creator's Key Takeaways
The ship docks right next to the main city square here, so we're just going to take a short 10-minute walk into the center
McDonald's in Italy are not same. They are definitely not normal. They are high end.
You can pay 5 euros to go and go up a bunch of steps to be able to get a breathtaking view of this entire area. Very pretty.
