🇮🇹 Italy in 7 Days for Only 1800 RMB! Extreme Budget Travel Guide💸
Hey, it’s Italy was my first stop in Europe, and I wanted to see EVERYTHING—so I went full "special forces training mode" with a 7-day blitz through Rome, Vatican City, Florence, Pisa, Venice & Milan! Total cost? 💰1800 RMB (local expenses only, excluding flights/visa). Here’s how I did it: ⚠️ Pro Tip: Check my full itinerary + Schengen visa cover letter template (valid for 29 countries!) 📍 My Route Rome 🚶♀️ Vatican 🚶♀️ Rome 🚌 Florence 🚉 Pisa 🚆 Florence 🚌 Venice 🚌 Milan 📌 Bonus: From Florence, you can do a Pisa + Cinque Terre day trip (we skipped Cinque Terre due to rain, but GO if it’s sunny!). 🎫 Tickets: 0 RMB (Yes, FREE!) Last-minute trip + peak season = no pre-booked tickets. BUT we got lucky: Vatican: Supposedly needs tickets, but free entry on Oct 1! Other attractions: Either free or skipped the paid sections. 🍝 Food: Bread + Instant Noodles Survival Mode Ate 2 pasta meals (both terrible—salty, hard, overrated). Real MVP: 🥖 Bread + 🥛 Milk + � Instant noodles (packed from home). 🚗 Transport: Walk Like a Roman Gladiator 1️⃣ City Travel: Mostly walking (attractions are close!). Rome bus tip: €1.50/ride (free transfers within 90 min). My Mastercard failed twice, so I walked everywhere (RIP feet). 2️⃣ Intercity Travel: Buses > Trains (cheaper + overnight buses = save on accommodation). 🏨 Accommodation: Hostels + Student Rentals Rome: Split a student rental (¥313.4 for 2). Florence: Ostello 7 Santi (¥276.59). Milan: Ostello Milano (¥290.7/2 nights). 💰 Money Hack: Book via local Chinese apps (cheaper than Int’l sites!). ⚠️ Safety Tips (Italy = Pickpocket HQ!) 📱 Phone: Wear it around your neck/wrist—never loose. 🎒 Bag: Always front-facing, zippers locked. 🚫 Scams: Ignore ANYONE offering flowers/bracelets/"free" stuff—they’ll rob you. #Italy #Europe #BudgetTravel #Backpacking #TravelHacks #Rome #Venice #Florence #SchengenVisa #SoloTravel
