7Packing with Precision

One of the most common blunders when planning a trip to Italy is overpacking. The allure of preparing for every scenario can be tempting, but hauling around a cumbersome suitcase can swiftly diminish your travel enjoyment. In cities like Rome and Florence, characterized by uneven cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways, managing bulky luggage can become a challenge, especially when navigating the efficient train system. To steer clear of this pitfall, opt for packing light, versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched. Prioritize comfortable walking shoes, given the amount of exploration on foot. Crucially, ensure there’s ample space in your luggage for the inevitable souvenirs you’ll want to bring back.
