It always does, with its impossibly sunny beaches, headily cultural cities and deeply inspiring rural landscapes. It contains multitudes, and rewards repeat visits as you discover more of the continent and its secrets. There are so, so many places to get lost in Europe, and it\u2019s easy to discount some of the more popular destinations accordingly \u2013 but that\u2019s because you haven\u2019t travelled them as a local yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-adcc4c95750aca1db1288d1ca643e35c wp-block-paragraph\">Italy is a prime example of this. It\u2019s one of the most popular holiday destinations both in the UK and globally, and you don\u2019t need to see the queue at the Colosseum to understand this fact. That queue, however, illustrates everything wrong with conventional holidaymaking. Italy is more than its biggest landmarks, and this summer you\u2019re going to find out what you\u2019ve been missing. Here are some tips on how to experience Italy like a local, and have the holiday of a lifetime as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/martinophuc-italy-9505450.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/martinophuc-italy-9505450.jpg?resize=580%2C386&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/martinophuc-italy-9505450.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/martinophuc-italy-9505450.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/martinophuc-italy-9505450.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d00c87a1cea66ed67107ae31161fd91e wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discover Italy By Rail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ef42a7cde434613a3ecbb07ad1a6c044 wp-block-paragraph\">How you travel through Italy is an often-overlooked factor in how you experience Italy. All too often, we fly in from London and fly straight back out again \u2013 missing the grounded delight of seeing Italy in motion, from the ground. Multi-destination Italian getaways are prime candidates for experiencing Italy in a more three-dimensional sense; they can also be vehicles for luxury, if you have the inclination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0e6c752cbfb8cac195e22496228b34f4 wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling across Italy by rail offers a slower and more immersive way to experience its phenomenal landscapes; perhaps the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theluxuryholidaycompany.com\/destinations\/europe\/venice-simplon-orient-express\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rarefied example of this is the Venice Simplon-Orient Express<\/a>, a highly sophisticated journey and a holiday experience in and of itself. This slow train departs from Venice toward Paris, giving you the chance to enjoy fine dining, scenic routes, and curated cultural experiences through Italy\u2019s most striking rural sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a336f72ed517a9c17fe27ebcc88af61e wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Explore Italy\u2019s Hidden Villages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ed47e77b3f1301ccbcda0627b1493680 wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the main factor in cheapening an Italy holiday is over-reliance on the major tourist hubs. As we\u2019ve touched on already, it\u2019s a trope to visit the landmarks on which Italy has built much of its tourist base; the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Trevi Fountain. Looking beyond these admittedly beautiful attractions, there is so much more to find \u2013 and some things altogether more beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b83d78f031c08c6af56bc38bda2fe3c9 wp-block-paragraph\">If it\u2019s historical magnificence you\u2019re after, you don\u2019t need to go to Rome for evidence of the Romans. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artandobject.com\/slideshows\/beyond-pompeii-10-ancient-ruins-visit-italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruins stippling the country<\/a>, from the \u2018little Rome\u2019 of Aosta to the once-Greek settlement of Cumae. In and around these off-the-beaten-track archaeological sites, you\u2019ll find smaller villages and a level of hospitality far removed from the impersonal bustle of the big cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-87fdecd1519152bb171d3f66aac052e6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Experience Italy Through Regional Food Trails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3403def60e85194de4bc3338d9e314e6 wp-block-paragraph\">Last but most certainly not least, Italy deserves to be explored through the lens of food, and again, without falling into some conventional traps. Pizza is a global cuisine now, and you don\u2019t need to go looking for it in Italy! What you do need to go looking for, however, is the incredible regional cuisines localised to different areas. Research is your friend, but so too are the locals; don\u2019t be afraid to ask where the best food is! If you\u2019re by the sea, eat some seafood; if you\u2019re in Piedmont, try the truffles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9aeb9cf52ed29275303deef8b8729672 wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed reading<em> How to Experience Italy Like a Local,<\/em> then why not read <em><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/london-craft-week-2026-made-with-love-and-time\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/london-craft-week-2026-made-with-love-and-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">London Craft Week<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/london-craft-week-2026-made-with-love-and-time\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/london-craft-week-2026-made-with-love-and-time\/\"> here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-16446e0f8bb2233a8af3f5e8d5f29768 wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent Magazine London. <strong><em>Luxury Mindset<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s holiday season once again, and mainland Europe beckons.
