    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    The evening passeggiata

    Around six, before dinner, every Italian town empties into its main street and central piazza. Families, grandparents, teenagers, all walking slowly in their good clothes for no reason but to be seen and to see. Join it. Order an aperitivo, stand at the bar (it costs less than sitting), and watch a town do what it has done every evening for centuries.

    2

    Coperto and the bill

    Most restaurants add a per-head cover charge, the coperto, usually two to four euros. For the bread and the table. It's normal, not a scam, and tipping on top is not expected the way it is at home; round up if the service was warm. Cappuccino after eleven in the morning will mark you as a tourist, but no one will stop you.

    3

    Pre-book the big sights

    The Vatican Museums, the Uffizi in Florence, the Accademia for Michelangelo's David, the Colosseum. All of them sell timed-entry tickets, and in season the on-the-day queues run two and three hours in full sun. Book the slot before you fly. The skip-the-line difference is the single biggest comfort upgrade on an Italian trip.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    The Italian windows are spring and early autumn, April to June, then September and October. When the cities are warm but walkable, the light is long, and the August crowds have gone. July and August are hot, expensive, and half-shuttered: Italians take their own holidays then, and many city restaurants close while the coast and lakes fill. November to March is cool and quiet, good for the museums and the food but short on daylight.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Capri — Capri, Italy

    Day 3. Capri, the blue grotto by rowboat

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    The Blue Grotto only takes the small rowing boats, and only when the sea is flat enough to clear the low mouth of the cave. You lie back as the boatman pulls on a chain to slip you through. Inside, the light comes up through the water and turns the whole cave electric blue. The funicular up to Capri town runs from the marina below.

    Capri01
    Vatican — Rome, Italy

    Day 5. Vatican, the ceiling and the silence

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    The Sistine Chapel is the end of a long march through the Vatican Museums, and the guards keep saying silenzio because no one ever is. Go for the first slot of the day, before the cruise groups land. The Colosseum the same afternoon felt small after the ceiling. Which is the wrong way round, and somehow right.

    Rome02
    Florence — Florence, Italy

    Day 7. Florence to Venice, the fast train north

    Day7
    ✦ Memoir

    The Frecciarossa does Florence to Venice in just over two hours at three hundred kilometres an hour, vineyards and then the lagoon sliding past the window. You step off at Santa Lucia and the Grand Canal is right there, the vaporetti loading at the steps. No road, no traffic. Just water from the first minute.

    Florence03
    Como — Lake Como, Italy

    Day 10. Como, the last quiet day

    Day10
    ✦ Memoir

    After the cities, Como is the exhale. A day with nothing booked, the lake flat in the morning, an espresso on a terrace above the water. The villas across the lake catch the light by late afternoon. We took the ferry to nowhere in particular and came back for dinner.
