Ciao, bonjourno everyone. It's Katie here, stopping by to wish you all

Wana Pusqua and Happy Easter. This is a very special time in Italy as spring is definitely

in full bloom and everyone is getting ready to welcome visitors from around the

world for their tourist season. In reality, these days, the tourist season doesn't really stop,

as I witnessed in Rome and Venice a few weeks ago, but from now until the end of October, the crowds

are really starting to build in the places I mentioned, plus Florence, Tuscany, Cinque There and the Amalfi Coast.

If you're on your way to Italy in the coming weeks,

I wish you safe travels and the most wonderful experiences that you can imagine,

and I hope you've booked all your tickets and accommodation.

Unfortunately, spontaneity is a difficult thing these

days when it comes to travelling in popular places and it would be a real shame to go halfway

around the world and miss out on something you've been dreaming of for a very long time.

We're having a short break from usual programming on the pod this week, but I did want to drop

by into your headphones to remind you of a few Untold Italy resources in case you have set aside

some time this weekend to do some trip planning. Firstly, apart from the 200 plus podcast episodes

on travelling in Italy, you can also find hundreds of useful articles on Untolditaly.com,

our website.

Use the search function there to find things like where to buy Coliseum tickets,

the best place to stay in Rome, and how to get to Lake Como as an example.

We write these articles, especially to help independent travellers like you, plan your trips and they are updated regularly.

You can also go to our Italy travel planning community on Facebook where we have 140,000 travellers, give or take, sharing ideas and advice to help others plan their trips to Italy.

There is no cost to access any of those
