Get aroundYou'll see everyone on a moped, and sometimes 3-5 people on a single one. Driving can be a bit of a nightmare for the faint of heart, as well.

SeeThe palace is one of the largest in Europe, comparable to Versailles, mainly due to the garden architecture - in fact, it was built to compete with it.

BuyLocal farmer goods. The artichokes they sell on the side of the road may look suspicious to you, but they're delicious. You can get fresh mozzarella, vegetables, and bread daily too.

EatThere are plenty of local, family restaurants that are fairly accommodating to foreigners. Look for one that seems nice, and try it.

DrinkStop into a coffee bar somewhere, and order a cafe. There's a lot of variety, so you may have some trouble ordering one. But it'll definitely be worth it.

SleepThere are a couple of cheap hotels in via Giuseppe Garibaldi (turn right when you come out of the train station).
