After Florence, we hopped on the train again for a 3 hour ride north to the picturesque villages of Cinque Terre. Considered the Italian Riviera, we'd imagine it to be similar to the Amalfi coast with a rugged coastline of buildings, but it turned out to be different and much more enjoyable mainly...

While staying in Florence for about a week, we had time to take a day trip to the nearby town of Siena. This time, we took the bus since the train that runs from Florence to Siena did not stop in the historical center of town. Siena is located about an hour and a half bus...

Florence was a city that both Minh and I really liked. It has the traditional Italian charm with even better food than we found in Rome. Minh and I love to eat good food, so our opinions are more swayed to liking a place if the food is good. Everything in the city was also within walking distance so...

We took an early train out of Rome to the birth place of St. Francis of Assisi who founded the Franciscan order. For those that are not familiar with the Franciscan order, they are friars that believe in a very modest and simple life in order to worship God. The town of Assisi is about a 4...

Even though we had managed to cross off quite a lot on our list of places to visit in Rome (click here for Part I), we still had a lot left to visit. We had one last full day in Rome, and the first stop was the Colosseum. [foogallery id="4571"] It was a little jarring to see the newly...

Rome has a lot of sites to visit, and the city is quite large to navigate. After checking into our hotel, we decided to hit the ground running and check out some sites nearby. The first place we visited was a church that had several armed guards in front of it. The inside looked very...

The Vatican is the quintessential place to visit when you're in Rome. This was the place I was looking forward to the most out of all of our sightseeing in Italy. Unfortunately for us, the day we booked our tour was the day it was pouring rain in Rome. It wasn't so bad though, as majority of the...

Our next stop was to visit the small towns along the Amalfi Coast in Italy. There are several options on how to explore the various towns - train, bus, or rent your own car/moped. When researching which option we should do, we were considering renting a car, but after reading several warnings from...

Our first stop of our Italy tour started in Salerno. We flew from Dubrovnik to Rome, then took a train to Salerno from there. Salerno is a city south of Naples which could also be considered a southern Amalfi coast city. We arrived at night and took a stroll down the main street. Hungry from...

Lokrum Island is the small uninhabited island just off of old town Dubrovnik. It was once used as a vacation home for the Austrian archduke Maximillian. It was suggested by both our Air Bnb host and our food tour guide to take a day trip there as there are nice beaches and parks that aren’t...
