6Overplanning

While it’s essential to have a rough itinerary for your trip, overplanning every minute of your day can lead to stress and disappointment. Italy’s charm lies in its unexpected discoveries and the freedom to explore at your own pace. Avoid the mistake of overplanning by allowing for some spontaneity in your trip. Leave room for serendipitous moments, like stumbling upon a hidden trattoria or enjoying a leisurely afternoon in a local cafe. 

Consider planning just one or two major activities or attractions per day, and let the rest of your time be filled with leisurely walks, people-watching, and enjoying the local cuisine. Remember, Italy’s best experiences often happen when you least expect them.
