Throw in some gelato and wine and you have the perfect ingredients for a memorable 10-day holiday in Europe. If you have 10 days in Italy, we have five great ideas for how you can spend your time.

For first timers to Italy, Rome, Florence, and Venice usually make the “must-see” list. With 10 days in Italy, you have just enough time to visit these three cities and add in a quick visit to a nearby destination. How to do this is spelled out in our “Classic” Italy itinerary.

TAIWAN TRAVEL GUIDE

Despite its relatively modest size Taiwan offers everything from super modernity to carefully guarded history, everything from mountains to beaches and an amazing mix of cultures and food. This Taiwan travel guide aims to neatly summarize everything you need to know to explore this fabulous destination. It is all based on our first hand experience traveling around Taiwan.

When To Visit Taiwan

Taiwan has a subtropical climate. That means that it never experiences extreme cold but summer can bring heat and humidity. June to August can see maximum temperatures of 38C (100F). The southern end of the island is generally a few degrees warmer than the north.

June to October is typhoon season while May and June typically see the most rainfall. If visiting during this time an umbrella can be handy. November to April is typically the best time of year to visit Taiwan.

We were in Taiwan during July, August and September (ie typhoon season) and had no major issues. We actually experienced a typhoon while in Taipei. The electricity and Internet stayed on the whole time but it did rain heavily for a day or two. For a longer trip spending a day inside is fine. If you are planning a shorter trip you may want to avoid typhoon season.

Despite occasional rain during our stay there was still plenty of sunshine and we wore t-shirts every day.
