Italy After Lockdown - A Travel Documentary (Venice, Dolomites, Milan)

In this vlog style travel documentary, I visit Italy after the country reopened to tourism. After exploring the streets of Venice, I drive towards the spectacular Dolomites mountains, where I spend most of my time. Finally, I finish the journey with a quick visit to Milan.
In this short film, I show you some of the highlights of this trip, and hope to give you an impression what it’s like to travel again after (Covid-19) lockdown.
Italy is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe, and was also among the hardest hit countries on the continent by the coronavirus outbreak (especially the North). The country's economy relies heavily on tourism, and many Italians' livelihoods depend on it. Like elsewhere, however, Italy is also trying to find a balance between public health and the economy.
If you decide to travel, please respect local Covid-19 regulation and guidelines.

I live close to Venice, and half of my family came from Dolomites. I have seen this beautiful places since i was like 5 and I know basically every place into Dolomites but even then it was impossible for me to hold tears while watching it. We really suffered a lot during pandemic. Thank you for your beautiful documentary.

[@stefhoffer]

Thank you for watching. I wish all of you strength and perseverance fighting this nasty virus.

[@mimmiblu6138]

Thank you for this beautiful documentary: I can feel the real empathy you had for my city, Milan. A truthful testimony to the current situation in Italy. I hope you will be able to travel freely asap, since you're such a sensitive traveller.

[@stefhoffer]

Thank you for your kind words and watching the video. I also hope things will improve the coming weeks and months. Take care over there!

I also visited Italy after lockdown although most of the things were closed but it was so wonderful to explore Milan Italy

[@stefhoffer]

I'm glad you were able to visit, stay safe!

[@jejakale1390]

Italia after lockdown beautiful as usual

[@valeedits7024]

I'm late to this video, but it was very enjoyable. It's weird to see Venice so empty, but maybe also worth it compared to when it's full of tourists. You got a new subscriber from Rome!

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I wonder, Are you a professional filmmaker? These videos are breathtaking ❤️ Thanks for all this, Steff.

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks Ajay, yes I do all kinds of film projects.

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks, you too!

[@bernadettegarganta4915]

Wow amazing place and nice video. Beautiful content. Stay safe 🙂

[@stefhoffer]

Thank you, likewise!

[@alibaaroun8539]

Great videos, reading the comment section I discovered you were from Netherland... amazing & beautiful country too...would like to one day come back visit Amsterdam or other amazing places... Bt the way in Holland the covid was handled pretty " cool" with less infections, emergengies and probably death... Best greetings from Paris, where we are going through the "second wave" , lockdowns, restrictions and as a doctor, I can say burn out of the medical and paramedical staff. Latest record : more than 42 000 infected people all over France in 24 h.! It is HUGE... Waiting for better times and best wishes from Paris, making us travel wirh you and changing our state of mind... Stay safe and keep up the great work.! Alles gute Stef.!

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks Ali, likewise to you! Let's indeed hope the situation improves the coming months. The vaccine news is promising at least.

Very nice! Next time avoid gymnastic shoes for hiking, expecially if you travel alone and there is not much people around, it could be very very dangerous for you. And the helicopter fee, if you dont have an insurance, could be pretty salty.

[@stefhoffer]

Thanks for your tips! They are actually pretty sturdy hiking shoes, even if they don't look that way. But you're right, better to be safe than sorry. Take care!

I would love to visit Venice in those conditions. No crowds. It almost looks like a real city. But I’m American and no one wants us right now.

[@stefhoffer]

Hopefully soon!

[@francescabenedettabaroncel8930]

Venice after the lockdown was even more beautiful that there were few tourists. The government power have done more damage than covid

[@khanwali8912]

Can you help me to see these beautiful places by own eyes?

[@iustitiaepervenit]

finally venice is free of tourists crowds. recent years it became too oriented on selling stuff and lost its soul.

[@stefhoffer]

Yes, it's the same here in Amsterdam. Let's hope these places can find a balance in the future.

I believe St. Peters is the largest church in Italy, and the world, not the cathedral in Milan.

[@stefhoffer]

Yes you are right, the St. Peter's Basilica is the largest church in the world. It's officially not in Italy though, but in the independent Vatican City.

[@johndecriscio9586]
