| Prague and Italy
Honeymoon time; can't dodge the bullet.
I know i'll be at old prague for sure; wife wants italy which is a compromise.
Suggestion to a place in Italy that's not too touristy.
I've been to rome, pisa, florence. Love to be 4 days in a small town, walking distance and just amazing food... tips?

Amalfi Coast in Italy? Still a bit touristy but not like Rome or Florence would be... or even Cinque Terre is much more busy... extremely beautiful place

I really enjoyed Bologna in Italy. Know as the red city, fantastic food (where Bolognese sauce and Bologna meat originated obviously).
Its a university city, not very touristy, the prices were better than any other popular spot. I'd love to go back.

Sicily. A bit off the beaten track but still has gorgeous towns and scenery. Taoromina, Palermo, Syracuse, Noto, Modica, Ragusa.

I really enjoyed Trieste for the short time I was there for Food (of course) and beautiful sunsets on the water. I've also heard good things about Bergamo, just outside of Milan.

Both times I've stayed in the lower and newer part of the city and take a funicular up to the old walled city. Its also a small airport you can fly into on a lot of the cheap carriers like Ryan air.

From Prague it would be an easy train ride to Milan and Lake Como
Como has been popping up a lot lately, obviously it’s a pretty popular destination in general but it and the surrounding area may be the chill spot you’re looking for
In Prague go to Field, it’s a Michelin star farm to table with very reasonable lunch with a wine pairing. Also a couple pints of Pilsner Erquell at Lokal, fuck best beer ive ever hand hands down, not just Pilsner etc. the first sip I took I was like yep, best beer ever

Will agree to try Pilsner Urquell at their brewery restaurants or Lokal. Been awhile since I was there but that first sip of it was like yup, best beer ever too. Haven't been able to experience that feeling since haha. The North American canned/bottled varieties don't do it justice.
Edit: Not beer but I miss that old flavour of their national cola, Kofola. Tastes very communist.

What does communist taste like?
Lake Como is a very broad description as it's massive and there are small towns situated all around it all with something worthwhile (and at least one with George Clooney nearby!) in each one
I went there for the Concorso D'Eleganza at Villa D'Este which was an unforgettable experience. Agreed all those areas are very calm, serene and relaxing. https://www.concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com/ | |

Dark, bitter, and a bit of salty and sour and a cold slap to the face by Mother Russia.
