Mobile Internet in Italy is relatively cheap compared to US, Britain, or Australia rates. On average, I spend about 10 euros ($11.8) a month on calls and the Internet.
So, which plan and provider should you choose, and where can you buy a SIM card? Let’s delve into it.
FAQ about Mobile Internet in Italy
How can you purchase an Italian SIM in advance?
How much does unlimited internet cost in Italy?
Which provider should you choose for mobile Internet and roaming in Italy?
Where can you buy a SIM card in Italy?
How much does a SIM card cost in Rome?
Which SIM card is best to buy in Italy?
Important Tips: How Not to Overpay for an Italian SIM Card
- Where not to buy: Avoid purchasing SIM cards from suspicious websites or at the airport. Always opt for official stores or trusted sites recommended in the article.
- The main reason to buy: Most tourists in Italy buy a local SIM primarily for mobile Internet. Checking emails, staying connected on WhatsApp, or posting pictures on Instagram is more cost-effective than using roaming from domestic carriers.
- Don’t rely on free Wi-Fi: Don’t rely heavily on free Wi-Fi in Italy. Even in four or five-star hotels, the internet can be intermittent or “broken since yesterday,” regardless of what room descriptions might claim. This is a typical Italian quirk.
- Requirements & Timings: Remember, you’ll need your passport to buy a SIM in Italy. Activation of all services might take up to 24 hours. Things move at their own pace here, so get used to it. For the “mega-complicated” task of activating a SIM or a specific plan, you might be charged a one-time fee of 10-15 euros, so don’t be surprised.
- Codice Fiscale: It’s advisable to generate the local tax number, Codice Fiscale, in advance.
- Cost-Effectiveness: In my opinion, buying a local SIM makes sense if you’re traveling in Italy for more than 7 days or if having Internet on your phone is vital. Expect this convenience to cost you between 20 to 30 euros, or slightly less if you’re lucky.
How to Buy an Italian SIM Card in Advance
The most convenient way today to start using the Internet immediately upon landing is by purchasing an electronic SIM card (eSim). You don’t have to visit mobile communication salons or sign contracts – everything is conveniently and quickly done online. Below, a table provides verified operators and the cost of internet packages:
|Holafly||no limit||19||5 days|
To activate the discount, enter the promo code in the “Discount code” field after choosing the tariff. With the money saved, enjoy an espresso cup at the bar counter while recalling this article.
If your visit to Italy is planned for more than 10 days, it makes sense to spend time visiting a local mobile operator’s salon.
Choosing a Local Italian Operator and Tariffs
In essence, there are four leading operators in Italy – Wind, Vodafone, the newcomer Illiad, and the fourth, Tim, which I would consider as a backup. Most of my friends in Rome and I currently use Illiad, though I know many are satisfied with Vodafone. I would advise getting an Italian SIM card only as a last resort.
Be prepared to spend at least 20 euros before the SIM starts working correctly, and all services are activated – this is Italy, just love it as it is.
Currently, the operator www.iliad.it offers the most profitable tariff at €7.99, which includes 80 GB of traffic per month.
There’s an additional connection fee of €9.99. After purchasing, my SIM was activated in 3 hours, but in the store, they warned me it might be activated by the next day. Places in the center of Rome where you can buy an Illiad SIM card: [Insert a table with the locations here, as the provided table tag cannot be processed directly] Map with Illiad showrooms.
I had a bad personal experience with Wind. They constantly charged double the monthly fee; sometimes, money was deducted for unclear reasons. Online or by mail, the issues couldn’t be resolved. I always had to spend time visiting their showroom. Currently, Wind offers the GIGA International 40 GIGA tariff for €9.99 + €10 for SIM activation. Remember to unsubscribe from all services at the end of the month or before leaving. Ask for the cancellation service number at the showroom during activation. Otherwise, the “caring” operators will automatically deduct the monthly payment from you – this is relevant for all operators.
Addresses of Wind offices in Rome:
There’s an office at the Termini station. The Fiumicino airport has no connection office, but you can recharge your balance.
You can easily find offices in other cities or near your hotel on www.google.com/maps/ by entering queries like “wind Roma” or “Vodafone Milano.”
How to top up your Italian SIM card To recharge, visit the official website and click on RICARICA (recharge). Enter your number and the required amount. You can recharge through PayPal or with Visa or Mastercard credit cards. Note that Italian banks may not accept cards from some countries. From personal experience, PayPal tops up seamlessly, and the payment is credited instantly.
Vodafone offers the most unclear and expensive tariffs (from €14.99 for 20 gigabytes). All of my friends have switched from them to other operators, so I can’t recommend them.
I couldn’t figure out Tim’s tariffs – most likely, you’ll have to sort it out at the office in person.
I would consider connecting to them as a last resort. A possible tariff might be 2 gigabytes for €20.
List of all Tim tariffs.
I hope this article has helped you navigate the intricacies of the Italian mobile Internet. Do you have any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask them in the comments, and share your experience using SIM cards in Italy.

- David Alex W00Private Transfer and TourOur driver was very careful and knew exactly where to go to get us to some special sites along the way. I would highly recommend Frantisek for any kind of tour or transfers. English speaking from Prague and we had a very nice day. It could not have been better for us. Planning to do another transfer next July already.
- Paradise0483297846800Transportation from Nuremburg to PragueThomas made the whole experience perfect. From arriving early at the ship to getting us quickly and safely to our hotel in Prague. He was wonderful.
- Marez910400Perfect private transfer from Munich Hotel to VilshofenThis company was wonderful. Sergei was on time, picked us up at our hotel as requested. He was professional and very nice. We had communicated ahead of time, which I love, to make sure the details of the transfer and the 2 hour Sightseeing Tour were customized to our needs. Thank you to this great company and driver Sergei.
- Marina N00The most convenient way to see small townsThis trip was in September 2022. We stopped at Regensburg and Weltenburg Abbey on the way from Nuremberg to Munich. Our driver, Rezgar, from DayTrip company, picked us up at our hotel in Nuremberg. Rezgar is an excellent driver, very nice and respectful. His English is very good. He told us a lot about Germany and the places we passed. He made us feel very comfortable. The stops were for about an hour each. We had a nice lunch at Weltenburg Abbey but it was very crowded. Rezgar drove us to our AirBnB in Munic and didn't leave until he made sure that we got into our apartment. I suggest that you prepare for your stops ahead of time and learn what you are going to see. The drivers are not tour guides, they normally wait for you in their cars. You will be on your own. I definitely can recommend DayTrip company.
- DCsavvy00Amazing Bavarian TourMy husband and I recently visited Europe in early December, to experience a Bavarian Christmas. We had the pleasure of having Jan Uher, owner and founder of Europe-Journey, Prague, Czech Republic as our driver and guide. He was polite, courteous and extremely helpful. Never have we seen a person so passionate about his country and that reflected throughout the trip. We traveled from Vienna to Prague, then on to Nuremberg and Munich; stopping along the way visiting castles and quaint villages. Jan speaks several languages, including English, Czech, German and others. His knowledge of history in the area is amazing. He made sure we visited the best of the Christmas Markets and sampled the wonderful food and drinks of the season. It was the trip of a lifetime thanks to Jan. We would highly recommend his company.

However, those that like to explore won’t be disappointed, discovering everything from vineyards and beautiful coastal walks to soft adventure such as paddle boarding and kayaking.
The word “Bach” - is used to describe small holiday shacks in New Zealand; these are places close to kiwis hearts… places of sunny days and simple times. The Boatshed's rooms and suites all have a little bit of the Bach in them, albeit with a little more comfort than most. Seven beautifully appointed spaces all offering privacy, sea views, open fires and the highest level of design detail. This is the beach holiday of dreams.

Recent guest reviews
We were downgraded to a smaller room without compensation as booked room was not available. Hotel staff reacted only after I made a claim. One night the hotel hosted an event which included very loud disco music until 1:00 in the morning - no warning and little sleep that night for us. Walls and windows are very thin and all noise and movement can be heard. That is not the staffs issue, but rather a structural issue of that hotel. I have stayed and lived in Bogotá, so I understand that it’s not generally a silent city, but the hotel is especially bad. Breakfast is good, but also there staff service is bad and extremely slow and passive. I will not stay at that hotel again. There is many much better options in the neighborhood.
The hotel is not fancy but it's clean, food is good and the staff is amazing. The only problem for me was the tight space in the shower but other than that I can't think of one thing I didn't like about the hotel. Highly recommended if you value customer service and cleanliness as much as I do!
I´m from Bogotá but I had never been here. I was one night with my wife and the experience was really cool, the hotel has a good location in a safety place, the room was quiet and comfortable. When we got, a bottle of wine and strawberries were ready for being enjoy it. we used the wet area (sauna and jacuzzi) perfect for resting, with a stunnig view on the 7th floor. The dinner and the breakfast was delicious, you will be able to taste fruit, eggs, cereals, sausages among others. In short, great and affordable place
The room was comfortable and clean, but the restaurant service wasn't great. The food could be great with a little added attention. Took too long to get additional towels. The gym equipment needs some repair. Location is nice, safe and quiet.
What makes this hotel so special is the Service. From the front desk, to the servers in the restaurant, to the to the cleaning crew to the Porters and Greeters. Just a great, great group of people!!!!!!!!! One Gentlemen in particular made our stay so lovely: name was "Telesport" or something close to that. Wish I would have written it down! Anyway- great and comfortable rooms. I'd stay again if I had business in the area most definitely! For smokers- they have a little area out front that is fine and far enough away from doors that you don't feel you're inconveniencing non smokers.
I really like this hotel...it is not huge but is very comfy and easy to get u to your room. It has a nice restaurant in front of lobby - with excellent food. I had a Premium Double Room - which is almost a suite. It has a large living room space with big sofa, a long cabinet for storage and the coffee maker, and a nice desk for my laptop AND both Ethernet Internet service plus WiFi too. This living room area is separated from the bedroom by a large open wooden set if shelves and square storage areas plus a big HD widescreen TV. It has a King size bed that is comfortably firm and lots of great pillows (not those useless feather down pillows that go flat as soon as you lay your head on them). There is lot of clothes storage space, a safe, and a mini-bar - which upon request they will empty for you, so you can buy your own snacks and drinks for much less money at a nearby Exito Express mini-market. The bathroom is huge as is he shower/bathtub with a big overhead shower head, and it has two wash basin sinks with good size counter space for your toiletries and things. And their room rates are very reasonable, given the quality and size of the rooms. The staff was excellent in providing attentive prompt services. There is also a gym on the top floor.
This hotel is new and well located in an attractive part of Bogotá. The rooms have a good size although not large. They are well equipped. Beds are good. However, the bathroom are small and little bit noisy. The breakfast buffet is complete and tasty. A good hotel for a short stay.
Certainly a comfortable and safe place with all the amenities and a delightful staff. GREAT breakfast to start the day seeing a beautiful city! Located on what felt like the outlying area of Bogota, it was perfect for our trip!
The staff was great and very courteous. My room was clean and the breakfast was fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend staying here. There are dozens of local and foreign restaurants within just two or three blocks.
near to the companies that I visited, the room are fit, nothing luxury, the bathroom so so, the gym are small but with some aparatous, the sauna an massages didn't use yet, because close at 20:00 hs. and the all employees are very very polite and very attentives

Linda, Roseville, visiting Concord Pavilion Mon, 2 July 2018
There was no mention of the airport, but the private jets and the early AM helicopter were deafening!
Disliked: Airport noise right across the parking lot!
Mary S, Woodland Mon, 2 May 2016
The hotel was very nice. The room was clean and fresh. Every time we exited our room, the housekeeping staff greeted us and made a pleasant comment. Very nice and friendly people. There was food left out in the hallway, however, for two days before it was taken away after someone ordered room service. It was not nice to have to walk past it. It should have been removed that day.
Liked: We had a restaurant manager working Sunday morning during breakfast named Victor. He was so attentive and gave us such a friendly experience, that I even left a written comment form for him at the front desk. Our waitress, on the other hand, forgot to bring items we ordered and was nowhere to be found for a coffee refill, etc. She seemed put out to be serving us.
Disliked: The front desk lady who checked me in was nice enough to let me know that the next evening a party was being held in the Atrium lobby and there would be music and dancing until 10:30. She said if it were a problem, they could always move me, but I said I would prefer to just have another location now to avoid moving. She seemed put out even though I thanked her for telling me.

Liked: Nothing for this time.
Disliked: t used to be really good hotel with great service. I chose CP, although I could stay in any hotel around with much lover rate($75-90 comparing with $140 per night I paid) because only good memories, you know. And I was ONLY tenant of a hotel. I was super upset about last stay. They never told me anything about parking charge when I was checking in. Its very important for me because it was work trip and I have to confirm rates with my boss. When I had issue with entrance barrier that guy came and said the they will charge me for 5 spots because of my truck (its a moving truck), then I said I can park outside, no problem, he smiled and answered that ?its ok, I wont charge you for parking?. Again - theirs huge parking lot was ABSOLUTELY empty. That was 2 night stay, and on morning I got receipt with extra 50 dollars and some charge from lobby?s small bar(i never got anything from there except for the fork). And receipt was UNDER a door or a room with extra 54 dollars. Thats crap. During this time you guys should be respectful to people who chose you, but not trying to steal money.
Mariah Mon, 27 April 2020
Liked: good parking
Disliked: I had a reservation and I didn?t even get the room I had asked for got a totally smaller bed I?m not very happy at all
Jason Wed, 15 April 2020

Hard to open shower water

Fabiola Mon, 30 March 2020
Liked: The breakfast made my morning much brighter. The room view to the pool was beautiful. I went for work but I will return to this hotel with my family . It is beautiful and friendly

Going to Disneyland Resort and wondering if Disney California Adventure is worth it?
Being a California local, I have been to Disneyland and California Adventure several times with my family. We typically visit both parks at least once a year.
Disney California Adventure is a theme park by Disney right across the entrance from the main Disneyland theme park. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure collectively are called Disneyland Resort.
The entrance ticket cost for California Adventure is the same as for the main Disneyland park and is quite high. The pricing is dynamic and can range anywhere from $104 to $179 per day.
California Adventure Park is unique to California and not that well known to folks visiting from out of state or out of the country. So it is reasonable to wonder whether California Adventure is worth the ticket cost.
I think California Adventure Park is more modern and experimental and has several cool attractions, rides, and shows that are not found in the main Disneyland park.
California Adventure is also popular for its dining and restaurants and special events throughout the year.
I believe California Adventure Park is 100% worth visiting on your trip to Disneyland, California, due to its unique themed lands, rides, attractions, shows, restaurants, and special events throughout the year. I would visit California Adventure just for the Cars Land and Radiator Springs Racers ride – it is the coolest ride!
Read on to find out more about the top reasons to visit California Adventure and things to do there.
Top things to do in Disney California Adventure
Disney California Adventure Park, which first opened in 2001, has a lot of popular and modern-themed lands like the new Avengers Campus and the superhit Cars Land. It has a great assortment of attractions, rides, shows, and restaurants that are not to be missed.
Themed Lands at California Adventure
Disney California Adventure offers a captivating array of 8 main lands or themes to explore, listed in a clockwise direction from Buena Vista Street:
Buena Vista Street: As the welcoming gateway to the park, Buena Vista Street presents a bustling downtown atmosphere adorned with charming shops and delectable restaurants.
Hollywood Land: Drawing inspiration from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, this land immerses you in the enchanting world of movies, theaters, and television, featuring captivating attractions.
Avengers Campus: The latest addition to Disney California Adventure, Avengers Campus showcases an epic assortment of attractions, all centered around famous characters from the Marvel Avengers series.
Cars Land: Undoubtedly one of the park’s most popular themed lands, Cars Land transports visitors to the picturesque Radiator Springs, faithfully recreated from the beloved Cars movie. The highlight of this area is the immensely popular Radiator Spring Racers ride.
Pacific Wharf: Emanating the nostalgic charm of Monterey, California’s old waterfront, Pacific Wharf has a delightful selection of diverse restaurants catering to every palate.
Pixar Pier: Serving as a vibrant hub of excitement, Pixar Pier is home to iconic attractions such as Mickey’s Ferris wheel and the thrilling Incredicoaster. The nightly spectacle of the World of Color show brings Pixar Pier to life!
Paradise Gardens: Nestled adjacent to Pixar Pier, Paradise Gardens hosts a variety of amusement park-style rides. This vibrant land also serves as the backdrop for special festivals and events.
Grizzly Peak: Majestic and awe-inspiring, Grizzly Peak pays homage to California’s renowned Yosemite National Park with its centerpiece, a mountain shaped like a grand grizzly bear, and waterfalls.
Disney California Adventure Rides
Disney California Adventure has several very popular rides that should not be missed! It has a great collection of both thrill rides and family-friendly rides.
Try to reach the park early at rope drop to maximize your time and be able to sit on most rides.
Best Thrill Rides that Make California Adventure worth it
Radiator Springs Racers – Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land is the most popular ride, and I think California Adventure is worth it just for this ride alone! Race in a convertible car along an excellent themed racetrack!
WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure – This newest ride in Avengers Campus has been drawing huge crowds since opening. This high-tech ride reads arm movements to blast targets and is popular with adults and kids alike.
Soarin’ Around the World / Soarin’ over California– My personal favorite, this flight simulator will take you on an incredible journey across the wonders of the world. The music and special effects are mind-blowing. Sometimes Soarin’ Around the World ride is replaced with a California popular attractions-based ride, which I think is also very cool!
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – This elevator-style drop tower ride is not for the faint of heart! The Guardians of the Galaxy-themed ride will delight fans.
Incredicoaster – Incredibles-themed Incredcoaster is the fastest ride in California Adventure and a roller coaster with crazy twists and loops.
Grizzly River Run – This water ride in a circular raft has some small drops and splashing fun.
Best Family-Friendly Rides in California Adventure
Toy Story Midway Mania! – Families love this Toy Story-themed ride in which they can blast at toys and aim for the highest scores.
Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters in Cars Land are spinning rides appropriate for young kids.
Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is a hot air balloon-shaped ride popular with families.
California Adventure also has several carnival-type rides like Jessie’s Critter Carousel, Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris Wheel, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumpin’ Jellyfish, and Golden Zephyr.
Shows at California Adventure
Anna & Elsa’s Royal Welcome and Disney Junior Dance Party will delight young fans who will get to see their favorite characters.
Buena Vista Street has several performers parading throughout the day.
As you explore the Disney California Adventure Park, you’ll have the chance to encounter many beloved Disney and Pixar characters eager to meet and greet you while providing memorable photo opportunities.
Capture the magic with Lightning McQueen himself in the vibrant setting of Cars Land, where he awaits remarkable photo ops.
At various locations within the park, you can frequently find iconic figures such as Mickey and Friends spreading joy on Buena Vista Street, the charismatic Cars characters revving up the excitement at Cars Land, and the enchanting cast of Encanto movie captivating guests at Paradise Gardens Park.
In addition, don’t miss out on the latest attraction, the Avengers Campus, where legendary superheroes like Spiderman, Black Widow, Captain America, Dr. Strange, Thor, and a host of others can be spotted for photo ops.
World of Color is a spectacular nighttime show at California Adventure and occurs on select nights. It is a captivating story told through music, water, and laser special effects and features clips from Disney and Pixar movies.
Dining and Restaurants at California Adventure
Disney California Adventure offers an eclectic mix of restaurants that are sure to satisfy every palate and culinary desire. From quick bites to sit-down meals, the park offers a diverse range of dining experiences that enhance your visit and ensure a memorable dining adventure.
Pym Test Kitchen at Avengers Campus, Flo’s V8 Cafe in Cars Land offer quick-service American Fare.
Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta at Paradise Gardens Park is popular with families, while Paradise Garden Grill offers ethnic cuisine like Mexcian and Greek.
You will also find several fine dining options with table service, like Carthay Circle Restaurant at Buena Vista Street and Lamplight Lounge at Pixar Pier.
The unique Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land is great for treats and snacks like soft-served ice cream, churros, and popcorn.
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Pacific Wharf serves San Francisco’s famous Ghiradelli ice cream!
Special Events at California Adventure
Disney California Adventure hosts a variety of extraordinary events throughout the year that draw enormous crowds and frequently result in sold-out days.
In the spring months of March and April, the park embraces the culinary wonders and exquisite wines of California with the highly anticipated Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.
During the winter season, usually in January and February, the park pays tribute to Asian culture with the enchanting Lunar New Year Festival, a vibrant celebration featuring captivating performances and traditional delights.
For Halloween enthusiasts, Oogie Boogie Bash is a not-to-be-missed event occurring on select nights in September and October. This separately ticketed celebration will immerse you in the Halloween spirit with mesmerizing shows, thrilling entertainment, and delectable-themed food.
As the Disneyland holiday season approaches, from November to early January, Disney California Adventure comes alive with the enchanting Disney Festival of Holidays, where diverse cultures are honored through delightful festivities and immersive experiences.
Is Disney California Adventure worth it for toddlers?
Disney California Adventure is totally worth it for toddlers and families with young kids. There are so many amazing rides and attractions in California Adventure that are suitable for toddlers.
Cars Land has Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters, which are popular with young kids with their spinning trucks and dancing cars.
Paradise Gardens has a number of carnival-type rides appropriate for toddlers, like Silly Symphony Swings, Jessie’s Critter Carousel, Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris Wheel, Golden Zephyr, and Jumpin’ Jellyfish.
Disney Junior Dance Party is a rocking show for young kids with their favorite Disney Junior characters.
Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta at Paradise Gardens Park has familiar foods that will please even the fussiest of young eaters!
Disney California Adventure is not as big as Disneyland area-wise, making it easier to navigate with young kids.
Is Disney California Adventure worth it for adults?
Disney California Adventure has newer themes based on Marvel’s Avengers and Pixar movies with some cool attractions and rides, making it totally worth it for adults.
I think the Radiator Springs Racers ride alone makes California Adventure worth it!
The new Avengers Campus at California Adventure has been drawing huge crowds with the new Spiderman ride, Guardians of the Galaxy ride, and Avengers character appearances.
Where to stay for Disney California Adventure
We find it most convenient to stay within walking distance of Disneyland and California Adventure, as it saves us valuable time in the morning. By avoiding the hassle of parking and taking the tram, we gain an extra hour in the morning when Disneyland park opens to enjoy the thrilling rides and attractions.
For an unparalleled Disney experience, the ultimate choice is Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. As a luxurious Disneyland Resort hotel nestled right inside California Adventure Park, it offers unrivaled proximity and convenience.
Situated just across the street from the Grand Californian Hotel, Disney Paradise Pier Hotel is another excellent option within the Disneyland Resort hotels. Within a short 5 to 10-minute walk, you can easily reach the entrance of Disney California Adventure.

FAQs about Disney California Adventure
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about Disney California Adventure:
Is California Adventure worth a full day?
Yes, there are several themed lands, attractions, and rides to explore in California Adventure. You really need a full day in California Adventure Park to experience it to the fullest. Plus, the wait times for many rides are between 20 minutes to 2 hours, so you will need the full day to sit on most rides, even with Genie Plus.
Is Disneyland or California Adventure more worth it?
Both Disneyland and California Adventure are different in what attractions and rides they offer, and they are both worth it. Disneyland has nostalgic attractions like Toontown and Star Wars, while California Adventure has newer attractions like Avengers Campus and Cars Land.
Is it better to start at Disney or California Adventure?
It really doesn’t matter which park you start at. Nowadays, both parks are equally crowded, no matter which day of the week. I would pick the park based on the attractions offered that day. Do not miss the fireworks in Disneyland or the World of Color in California Adventure.
Is one day enough for Disney California Adventure?
One day is usually enough for Disney California Adventure as it is smaller in size as compared to Disneyland. Make sure to take Genie Plus so that you can sit on all the California Adventure thrill rides in one day.
Final Takeaways: Is California Adventure worth it?
Disney California Adventure is totally worth it, and you should plan to spend a full day on your trip to Disneyland.
Explore the unique themed lands like Cars Land, Avengers Campus, Pixar Pier, and Paradise Gardens Park.
Experience some of the best rides like Radiator Springs Racers, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and Soarin’ Around the World.
Enjoy the variety of restaurants and World of Color nightly entertainment, and have a great time at California Adventure!

After a long train journey from Rome we decided to stay here for 3 days. I have to say I was dreading visiting Milan however after my visit staying here I would go back here tomorrow. The staff were very helpful and very easy to approach. The location was the best feature for this hotel. If you love Chanel, Gucci, Versace etc etc then they are literally a 5 minute walk away. The area is reasonably quite and a 'feel safe' area. My only criticism for this place was that our room stunk of nicotine. However I am sure if we wanted to change rooms the staff would have been more than helpful.

Nab is a traditional lakeland cottage overlooking Rydal Water. It is steeped in history and full of old world character, and includes a modern converted barn for yoga.
This is an early spring break to improve your yoga practice and explore the gorgeous countryside and stunning views in this area of the Lake District. There will be 5 yoga classes plus 2 group guided hikes and all food and accommodation is included.
Grasmere yoga hiking weekend will be based at the beautiful Nab Cottage beside Rydal Water in the Lake District. A weekend of relaxing yoga and invigorating walks in a beautiful area which is often associated with the Romantic poets.
Grasmere Yoga & Hiking – Accommodation
Nab is a typical old lakeland cottage which is full of character and old world charm. It is complemented with a wonderful modern converted barn for our yoga practice. The cottage is full of old character, steeped in history and has plenty of areas to find peace and solitude or to read. All meals are vegetarian and food is prepared for us by the owners of the cottage. It is also organic and fairtrade where possible.
There are a variety of rooms, twin ensuites and some singles with or without ensuite (shared bathroom)
Grasmere Yoga & Hiking – Yoga
This Grasmere yoga hiking weekend starts with yoga at 6pm on Friday followed by dinner, so it is advisable to arrive by 5pm. There will be a total of 5 yoga classes over the weekend. We will also have guided walks on Saturday and Sunday. All yoga classes take place in the converted lakeland barn next to the cottage.
Nab Cottage dates from 1556 and stands alone on the side of Rydal Water. The cottage was once the home of Thomas De Quincey who was an acquaintance of the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth. The situation is perfect for a Grasmere yoga hiking weekend and surrounded by mountains in the heart of the valley.
We have the cottage on a sole use basis and next to the cottage is a beautifully converted Lakeland barn which we will have for our yoga practice.
There is an outdoor hot tub with views onto Rydal Water which we are free to use.
Breakfast, packed lunch, and dinner are included and all meals are vegetarian and use fresh and largely organic and fairtrade ingredients. Mealtimes are eaten together in the farmhouse dining room.
Grasmere yoga hiking weekend reviews
These were some comments from one of our recent Hiking and Yoga breaks:
“Really enjoyed the weekend; walking and yoga were great, good accommodation in a perfect location, a lovely group of people, and even a bit of sunshine! Thanks Kevin and Yen :)”
“Thank you Yen and Kevin for the lovely and well organised weekend and to everybody else for being such a good company. It was great meeting you all and hope to meet you again in future”
“It was a great weekend – well organised, good group of people, etc..”
Please note that this weekend starts with yoga at 6pm on the Friday evening, so please plan to arrive by 5pm.
If you would like to arrive earlier in the day, we cannot guarantee a transfer from Windermere train station, but it is possible to use the bus service to get to Nab Cottage where you can enjoy exploring the house and gardens.
8:00 - 9:15 yoga 9:15 -10:00 breakfast 10:15 depart for hike 16:00 return from hike 16:30 tea and cake available 18:00 -19:15 yoga 19:30 dinner
Date: April 3, 2022
Time: 8:00 am
Plan of the day
8:00 - 9:15 yoga 9:15 -10:00 breakfast 10:15 depart for hike 14:15 return from hike 14:30 – 15:45 final yoga session 15:45 – 16:15 tea and cake available 16:15 Departures
The location is perfect for a variety of walks along the shores of Grasmere and for exploring the village itself.
Early spring can be a lovely time to explore the Lake District as the trees are coming into bud, there is still a nip in the air, but the weather can still be pleasant for walking and its less busy.
On Saturday we are likely to walk from the cottage along Loughrigg Terrace and down into Grasmere, where we can then extend our walk up to Easedale tarn. Easedale Tarn is lovely beauty spot which embodies many of the things that make the Lake District so special. We walk beside a tumbling stream to a quiet location overlooking a remote and stunning Lake, with great views back down the valley to the village.
On Sunday we are likely to hike around Loughrigg Fell to another of our favourite locations around Loughrigg Tarn. We can complete a circuit of the Fell or make our way to the summit if the weather is good and we are feeling energetic.
ALL HIKES WILL BE LED BY A QUALIFIED MOUNTAIN LEADER
The weekend will offer an opportunity to learn about yoga, improve and develop your practice and get out walking to enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding the Cottage. There will be five yoga classes.
The yoga will be suitable for beginners and those who have practised before. We have also included a session on Friday evening before dinner, and this session will be a gentle welcome to get you in the mood for the weekend. Yoga and hiking are a great combination, mobilising, energising yoga with some flow in the morning, followed by some more restorative and restful yoga after our hiking.
The general focus of the morning sessions will be to energise and warm up the body for our walk, and in the afternoon, will be to stretch out those tired muscles and relax the body. There will be an emphasis on the breath and movement, and our priority is for the yoga to be enjoyable and safe for all.
Please bring your own yoga mat and pillow case as a minimum. Other yoga equipment is provided (brick, block, strap, bolster, blanket and scented eye pillow), but you may prefer to bring your own if you have any.
If you have any queries regarding the yoga sessions, please contact us using the trip enquiry link above.
Note: There is a single group class for each session during this weekend

The Fitness Hazard for Travelers
Frequent business travelers face considerable challenges in keeping fit:
• They spend larger than average amounts of time in sedentary situations such as sitting in aircraft, vehicles, restaurants, and bars;
• They are likely to suffer from more stress and poorer sleep owing to time zone changes and extended work hours;
• Their diets may suffer owing to the temptation to increase intake of comfort foods;
• They are deprived of many of their regular fitness generating activities, including their sports partners, sporting and social clubs, family members, and local team activities.
One of the few fitness fallbacks that travelers have is the hotel gym. However, the average hotel gym is not a particularly attractive place – often hot and stuffy, with less equipment than one would like, and not quite the right companions. Such factors typically cause hotel guests to spend less time in the gym than they really should to maintain fitness.
Some travel advisers advocate exercising in the hotel room but that idea is of little help. Any trainer will confirm that a good exercise session demands breaking a sweat, which is simply not practical in the hotel room. Any hotel room activity that approaches an adequate workout will unquestionably cause more of an annoyance to neighboring room guests than it provides benefit to the person exercising.
Why Not Just Run?
There is one activity that can keep a traveler fit, while increasing wellness generally – running (or jogging or athletic walking) outdoors. This activity is very efficient, requires carrying only a pair of running shoes, shirt, and shorts, is invigorating in fresh air and a new environment, can be done alone or with company, and is very inexpensive. In fact, there are so many good qualities one might wonder why more travelers do not systematically run outdoors in places they visit.
The resistance to running outdoors stems mainly from concerns about possible security risks, possible road traffic incursions, and other unknowns that might lead to some form of unpleasantness.
But all cities have some places where one can run with other runners around and without substantial concerns of the above type.
Plan Your Routes Wisely
A traveler needs solid, reliable information to help make an on-foot outing a truly enjoyable experience. This will motivate the traveler to actually venture out. Here are some general factors that combine to make an on-foot route irresistible:
• Good underfoot conditions;
• A “good” neighborhood; nasty surprises are unlikely;
• Not too many other people and not too few;
• Minimal disruptions from intersecting auto roads;
• Pretty scenery; interesting sites to pass along the way;
• Public transit to the start and finish points;
• A loop route is more enjoyable than an out-and-back route;
• A suitable place to wind down for a refreshing beverage or snack at the end.
Taking into account all the above requirements, plan your routes wisely. Ask your local hotel staff for route recommendations but treat their recommendations cautiously since many staff members have limited first-hand knowledge of running or walking conditions. More importantly, buy and consult a good local runners’ guidebook or map.
When in an unfamiliar city, get outdoors and run or walk as much as you can. Plan your routes well. You can find this activity enormously enjoyable, educational, and great for your fitness.
– Warwick Ford, a marathon runner, was a frequent business traveler before retiring as a corporate executive. He and his wife Nola have personally researched the top running and walking routes in many major US cities. Their book Fun on Foot in America’s Cities describes the running conditions and most visitor-friendly routes in 14 major US cities. They also have detailed running/walking guide books on the Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia regions. Their books and much other relevant information are available from their website www.funonfoot.com.
