Explorica pro tip

“One of my favorite things to do during free time on our Italy tours is to learn about local food. Be sure to ask your Tour Director about local specialties in each city because Italian food can vary greatly, even from town to town! Northern Italian cities focus more on rice and polenta made with butter, and Southern Italians cook pasta with olive oil exclusively. Of course, gelato is a must wherever you go, so be on the lookout for special, local flavors!”
