Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Italian hostel social programmes are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Beyond the classic pub crawl ('giro dei bar'), many hostels offer cooking classes (especially pizza and pasta), aperitivo evenings, museum group visits, and day trips. These activities are excellent ways to meet fellow travellers.
