tourner à droite, Italy Road trip Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A

Next month I will drive in Italy. I need to stay in Florence for two nights. I booked an Airbnb in the old city center, but I need to park my car outside. In the past two days, I searched for suitable parking lots online, and the cheaper ones seem to be near the airport. Are there any better choices ? Italy Q&A

Hello everyone! I just visited Cinque Terre on July 29th. It was very difficult to find a parking space (I don't know if it's because it's the weekend). I suggest it's more convenient to take a train from La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. Trains from La Spezia to Levanto run every half an hour and stop at all five villages. We drove to Riomaggiore first and bought tickets there for 16 euros per person, which allowed unlimited rides all day, including buses and restroom fees. Among the five villages, Manarola has the best scenery. It is said that the night view is also special, but we didn't plan our time well and left Cinque Terre before it got dark. We arrived around 10 am and left around 8 pm, spending about ten hours. We visited all five villages, and the scenery was quite similar. Monterosso, the northernmost village, is mainly a beach resort. Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore are similar, while Corniglia, after getting off the train, requires a bus ride to reach the top of the town. After 8 pm, the train back to La Spezia runs every hour. I hope my experience can be helpful to friends who are planning to visit Cinque Terre. ? Italy Q&A

I plan to book tickets for the Colosseum online. There's a ticket for the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a headset that costs 19.5 euros. But the tickets are only available in the afternoon on the day I go. I would like to ask my fellow travelers who have been there if I book a ticket for the afternoon, can I visit the Roman Forum in the morning and then go to the Colosseum at the appointed time in the afternoon? Is this appointment ticket the one that doesn't require me to queue up for a long time ? Italy Q&A

Encountered a frustrating situation again, in the parking lot of San Gimignano, took the card to park, when I came out and inserted the card for payment, but it didn't show anything, couldn't calculate the fee, I was so anxious and frustrated, couldn't figure it out after half a day of trying, had to reverse the car back to the parking space, and then went to ask a foreigner for help. Later, I realized that I had inserted the card in the wrong direction, and I didn't know if it was upside down or front and back reversed ? Italy Q&A

Self-service payment is not difficult. It's best to watch others operate when they are in front of you. However, it seems that no one will come to deal with it or post a note even if it is overdue. Today we arrived in Florence. We drove to Michelangelo Square to watch the sunset, which was extremely beautiful. There is a large parking lot on Michelangelo Square. The first hour is 1 euro and the second hour and after is 2 euros ? Italy Q&A

If you haven't picked up the car yet, you can cancel it. If you booked with Avis at Rome Fiumicino, hurry up and cancel. They don't have the car model you booked, their service attitude is poor, and they automatically add insurance through 'upgrading the car model' without your consent. When I went to pick up the car on the 10th, I had to wait for at least two hours, at least! They can give you all the annoying things you can think of when renting a car. The most annoying thing is that I booked an Audi A3, but they claimed to upgrade me and gave me a two-door Fiat 500c instead! How can anyone travel with two large suitcases in a two-door car? Before I got the car, they kept saying it's similar to an Audi and definitely enough. After waiting for two hours, I finally got the car. Do I have to return it and wait for another two hours ?
