· Ask waiters for restaurant tips. They usually know the good places, especially new ones that haven't made the guidebooks. And they can tell you which spots to avoid.

· Go to Mass -- even if you're not religious, and even if you don't speak the language. It's a way to feel connected to everyone there and participate in a slice of local life.

· Visit a cemetery. They are frequently beautiful retreats, as well as historically and culturally fascinating.

· Sit on a park bench. Listen to accents, watch local pastimes (cricket, anyone?), absorb the atmosphere.
