Personal comments
there are some bars to go at night, specially the duke and the chibomatto.
you should go to miramare castle and to piazza unita.
Events: You should not miss the "barcolana", a three day party, and the week of sport organized by the city.

the first month I always speak portughese and spanish with other erasmus students. But after it I started to speak with italians and people who speak italian, so my italian became improved.
