Let's Go Italy: The Student Travel Guide

Italy is the place for amazing food, the best vino, epic art, unparalleled natural beauties, and some seriously tight leather pants. Though you probably won’t catch any of our student researchers in leather pants, they know Italy as the Italians do. They’ve endured gallons of gelato, pounds of pizza, miles of museums, countless clubs, and as many ruins as the Romans left behind—all to bring you the most comprehensive coverage of Italy, with plenty of witty asides. Get ready to experience adventure and la dolce far niente with Let’s Go Italy.

Let's Go publishes the world's favorite student travel guides, written entirely by Harvard undergraduates. Armed with pens, notebooks, and a few changes of underwear stuffed in their backpacks, our student researchers go across continents, through time zones, and above expectations to seek out invaluable travel experiences for our readers. Let's Go has been on the road for 50 years and counting: We're on a mission to provide our readers with sharp, fresh coverage packed with socially responsible opportunities to go beyond tourism.

Every summer for the past 50 years, Harvard students have gathered together the bare necessities and set off with nothing but a backpack and some old-fashioned grit. Budget-conscious gourmets, nimble transit-takers, and die-hard bar-hoppers—Let’s Go Researchers have the time of their lives, so you’ll know exactly how to have the time of yours. As our veterans like to say, it’s more a lifestyle than a job. We’ve done it all—the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unforgettable—to bring our readers the most candid, witty, and irreverent travel advice available.
