The beachlife in Fiumicino
Besides the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen in my entire life, as I have shown you in a previous blogpost, Fiumicino also offers some of the best beachlife I have lived. There are many different places to stay around the beach area, some more fancy hotels and some AirBNBs that are more on the simple side. We stayed at a small hotel that was close to the beach and that offered breakfast, which is always nice. But where ever you choose to stay, I’m sure that will be fine. The beaches are why you have to come to Fiumicino. Not the hotels. Naturally, there are sunbeds and umbrellas…

The magical sunsets in Fiumicino
Lastly on our Italian summer vacation, after vising Bologna, Florence, and Rome, we ended up spending a few days on the amazing beaches in Fiumicino. I know that I have told you time and time again how hot it was during the summer of 2022, but getting some time to just cool off in the waters and hanging around in a sunbed after days and days of walking around in cities was just what we needed. I promise that I will come back to Fiumicino in another post, where I will tell you more about the city itself, cuz this one will only be focused on one thing… and one…

What differs between a trattoria, osteria, ristorante and enoteca?
I can’t be the only one that got quite confused with the different ways that Italians name the foodie meetups. But lately we have been in Italy quite a few times, so let’s try and break them down in a way that we can all understand it a bit better … here we go! Trattoria: You can expect regional cuisine at a trattoria, quite inexpensive but with a larger menu than the Osteria. Traditionally the Trattorias were family-owned, like rustic neighborhood restaurants. Osteria: Supercheap, kind of like the hostel version of a restaurant with communal-style tables. Originally you brought your own food to an Osteria and only bought your drinks,…

Our Italian summer of 2022
Or should I say, our HOT Italian summer? So okay, you all know that we spent some time traveling around Italy this past summer, so I thought I would give you a bit of a run-through of where we started out, how we made up our travel plans, where we ended up, and finally how we got back home to Sweden again. We found a cheap plane ticket from Stockholm to Bologna, where we had booked a hotel for the first two nights. We actually ended up staying an extra night, cuz two days were just simply not enough and we had no time limit to this trip as we…

Review of 2022
The travel year of 2022 has been one of the best in a very long, loooong time. Not just because we weren’t dragged down by all of the strange things that have been happening around the world during the past couple of years, but there’s actually been quite a lot of traveling going on. It’s been a good year, and definitely a great travel year! The beginning of 2022 started with a weekend cruise to Tallinn in Estonia, where we were supposed to see the Christmas market, but it closed the day before we got there. And not that I did not know it before, but now I REALLY know…
