Student life, Erasmus parties and leisure in Campobasso
In this Italian city, the weather in winter is quite cold, which normally creates a spectacular landscape dyed white by its snowfall. Amateur skiers, or other winter sports, enjoy the snow at the nearby Campitello Matese station. In summer the weather is pleasant and dry, without suffering the intense heat of other areas of Italy. In months with good weather, students go to beaches in Vasto or Termoli, both just over an hour away by public transport. In addition, young people tend to travel around Italy, such as Rome or Naples, and even Pescara and Bari, since they all have an airport.
If partying is what you want, you have to know that this city is quite calm in this aspect, although there is always something to do for students. On Fridays and Saturdays, most young people meet in Via Ferrari, a street full of bars that is usually quite busy. Most nightclubs are a bit far from the centre of Campobasso, so you will need a car, bus or taxi.
