Know before you go: Italian beach etiquette
Italy has more than 4,000 miles of coastline, so it’s no surprise that it has more beaches than any other country in continental Europe.

Unsurprisingly, Italian customs at the beach are as unique as any other facet of Italian culture. Here are few tips to help you enjoy your beach holidays In Italy.
When is the best time to visit Italy?
While not a large country, Italy offers everything from snowy mountain peaks to sandy beaches. Whether you're thinking about spending time on the Amalfi Coast or prefer to spend your time visiting cities like Rome and Florence, the country has remarkably varied weather that must be taken into consideration when you are planning your trip.
Everything you need to know about the Amalfi lemon
One of the first things you may notice on your visit to the Amalfi Coast is the scent of lemons in the air. This isn’t your garden variety lemon — Amalfi lemons are a unique breed native to this tiny corner of the world. These lemons are bigger, rounder, and sometimes more bulbous than the varieties you find at home, with softer skin and a sweeter flavor.
Roman baths in Rome
After a long train ride, say from Rome to Genoa, you might want to jump in the shower to freshen up. But private showers weren't the norm in ancient Rome. About 1,500 years ago you couldn’t throw a rock in Rome without hitting a public bathhouse. Since the third century BCE, when Romans borrowed the idea of the public bathhouse and the concept of the regular bathing ritual from the Greeks, Rome has refined the art of not just bathing, but relaxation itself.
