Between April 27th and May 3rd, I traded my everyday landscape for the green hills of Piedmont, Italy. Although I arrived via Turin, my heart was set on the Langhe region, between Barolo, Barbaresco, and Alba. I rented a tiny, two-door, six-speed Fiat 500, which nimbly took me through vineyard roads, past castles, and medieval villages. It was off-season, which made it easy to find accommodations and restaurants at all price points without any complications.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to step back in time and experience history firsthand? That's exactly what historical tourism is all about. It's like taking a stroll through the past, where every cobblestone street, ancient ruin, and majestic castle tells a story.
