Some travel tipsThat can help to make your vacation in Italy run smoothTravel tips, counterfeit fake luxury goods are every where you go these days and Italy is no exception, so be aware that it is a crime to sell and a crime to buy fakes. They can range from sun glasses, watches, hand bags, clothing, perfume, and wine is known to have been sold as fake.
Being caught with any counterfeit items most likely they will be taken from you and disposed of. It is also a crime to bring items into Italy.
It is best to stay away from street hawkers, normally they’re the sellers who display their wares on sheets which can be quickly folded away and disappear into the crowd when police are around. The golden rule is if it appears too good to be true then it probably is. 9 times out of 10 you buy one of these fakes and few days later it doesn’t work or loses the look it should have.
Don’t take the chance having Italian authorities confiscate counterfeit luxury goods on the way home at the airport or border crossing. Save your money, or take an extra present home and make someone happy .
Travel tip. Visiting larger cities take a little care on your personal items places of interest the attract tourists also brings along the small time criminals mainly purse snatching and pick pockets who can be very skilful in there trade
Relieving you of the contents of your bag or pockets so take the time to pack items away and put your bag strap over the opposite shoulder and keep it in front of you if possibly.
Back packs are very easy to open or unzip in crowds when there’s a lot of people jostling around tend to distract you if you do have a back pack try to stay in front of your partner So he or she can keep an eye on what may be easily opened and vulnerably to pick pockets.
Travel tip It’s very easy to park up and go sight seeing, but remember the bag or the jacket with your credit cards you left on the back seat, it probably won’t be there when you get back. Don’t give the opportunist thief the opportunity, he doesn’t know that bag may be empty or the jacket has empty pockets.
That little forgetfulness could cost you your damage waiver and maybe a sore neck driving with the window open, not to mention a day of your vacation waiting at the garage for the repair. Most hire cars display that it is a hired vehicle, and that the driver may be a tourist with lots of goodies. I make light of this serious problem, years ago I came back to an auto to find the side window out, just because I left a 2 Euro sponge in a plastic case for cleaning the windows on the seat.

So maybe your hard earned cash is best spent purchasing a good quality none branded item, the plus side to doing this is you don’t look a Wally walking down the promenade with flip flops or sandals on your feet and a designer labeled item on or under your arm, it’s like having an invisibly label telling every one it’s a fake.
