🇮🇹 Save this hotel for your next Italy trip! 📍 This is ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI in Ortisei, it’s a 5 star wellness hotel *but* you can get fantastic value deals here in the shoulder season with lots of inclusions! Half board, full wellness area access + guided activities every day from €210 per person 🧖🏼‍♀️ It’s still a bit of a splurge if you’re a mid-budget/in-between traveller but it is so worth it, the Dolomites are expensive for accomm/food/activities so that price with all that included is actually crazy! 💃🏼 And the BEST bit is that they have single rooms for solo travellers so you don’t have to pay the price for two people 💪🏼 this is so rare at luxury hotels! Single rooms start from €241 with the same inclusions, so perfect for a solo adventure into the mountains for some peace, quiet and spa time 🧘🏼‍♀️ (press trip) #dolomites #dolomiti #thedolomites #dolomitesitaly #thedolomitesitaly #italytravel #italytravels #italyhotel #italyhotels #visititaly #visititalia #italymountains #mountainresort #italyvacation #italymoments #italyholiday #beautifulhotels #italy🇮🇹 #adlersparesorts #adlerdolomiti

This is the perfect Northern Italy itinerary if you don’t want to rent a car! Three weeks would be ideal to cover all of these places (at a fast pace), if you have less time then just choose the spots that align with your interests the most and use my recommended length of stay as your guideline. Let me know if you have any Northern Italy questions or what country/region itinerary you want to see next 🥰 (Technically Florence is in Central Italy but if you’re going to Bologna then it would be a crime to not include Florence too!) #italy #italytravel #visititaly #travelitaly #italiatravel #travelitalia #visititalia #italytiktok #europetravel #traveleurope #northernitaly #northitaly #veniceitaly #milanitaly #florenceitaly

Real talk about Venice 🙃 this place is sooo divisive, people tend to love it or hate it! I’m in the ‘love it’ camp *but* only mid-week in the shoulder season avoiding all touristy things between the hours of 10am to 5pm haha Let me know if you have any Venice questions 🥰 #venice #veniceitaly #italyvenice #italy #italytravel #travelitaly #visititaly #italiatravel #travelitalia #visititalia #italytiktok #europetravel #traveleurope #responsibletravel

Back to Italy 🇮🇹 here are all the travel details ⬇️ 🎟️ I got a @Eurail Pass for my Europe trip, it was €526 for a 1st class ‘15 days in 2 months’ pass but that was during a 25% off sale, the normal price is €702 for that pass 💰 But you can book through @Klook with the code FINDINGALEXXKLOOK for 10% off! 🌞 I wrapped up my French Riviera trip by staying at @Maison Durante which I adored, super cute boutique hotel near the train station 🚊 My long travel day was Nice > Ventimiglia, Ventimiglia > Milan and Milan > Verona 💺 I paid €20 for mandatory seat reservations and my Eurail Pass covered the ticket cost, without a Eurail Pass the tickets would’ve been €95.20 total 😴 In Verona I stayed at StraVagante Hostel for €64 in a private en suite room, super basic but cheap for Verona last minute! #italytravel #travelitaly #visititaly #italytiktok #europetravel #traveleurope #visiteurope #europebytrain #europetraintravel #travelfrance #francetoitaly #italytrain #eurailtravel #eurailpass #eurail #interrail #interrailing

🌄 Everything to know before visiting the Dolomites without a car! My top tips ⬇️ 🚞 There’s no major airport here but there are easy train links from Milan, Venice, Verona + Innsbruck in Austria and Munich in Germany 🗣️ Many regions and towns have multiple names, in Italian and German and sometimes Ladin (a local language) 🌞 Seasons determine public transport options, summer has cable cars and more buses/shuttles but they get busy and some need to be booked in advance, shoulder seasons have fewer departures and cable cars close for winter changeover 🗺️ Choose a strategic base with easy access to adventures, Ortisei is ideal for Seceda/Alpe di Siusi but you could also consider Dobbiaco, Cortina d’Ampezzo or Bolzano 🐢 Take your time, car-free travel takes more time for planning and getting around, I’d recommend five days minimum so you have three full days for adventures 🎟️ Most hotels in South Tyrol include the Sudtirol guest pass which gives you free public transport ⏰ Don’t lose track of time or you might miss the last bus or cable car 📆 Book in advance, the affordable accomm in the best-connected villages get booked up early 💃🏼 Be realistic! Don’t try cram too much into your trip or you’ll be exhausted and need a holiday after your holiday.
