I'm a travel consultant who helps people plan trips to Italy. These are the 6 most common mistakes I see travelers make.

For example, renting a car may seem convenient, but in some cities, finding parking can be tricky. This is because some areas have "limited traffic zones," where driving is limited to authorized vehicles only. In my experience, Uber isn't widely available in many parts of Italy, either. And although a train between two cities can sound practical, it sometimes ends up taking much longer than expected. Sometimes, a flight can be quicker.

I visited Lisbon for the first time. Though I did a few things right, there's a lot I wish I'd known before I left.

Prioritize a guided day trip to Sintra, visit Lisbon in late winter to avoid crowds, plan manageable itineraries, and use trams sparingly because they're inefficient.

I took my 81-year-old grandma on an international trip. It was great, but I wish I'd known more about traveling with an older relative.
