A record-setting number of tourists have already converged on Italy this spring, and it looks like it is only going to get more crowded this summer. The Vatican Museums are regularly admitting more than 30,000 people per day. Visitors to the Uffizi Gallery are asking to leave after only a few minutes due to overcrowding. Piazza San Marco is bursting at the seams with tourists. Popular restaurants don’t even answer the phone to take RSVPs. Colosseum, Borghese Gallery, Vatican Museums, Uffizi, and Accademia tickets are impossible to come by… Considering such an apocalyptic scenario, you might think that travelers would be dissuaded from visiting Italy this summer. Yet, the demand has only increased over the last few weeks! Join Dr. Rocky for this pop-up webinar where he will teach you how it is still possible to visit these artistic meccas without losing your sanity!
