Oh Tony� you are soooo lucky! How long will you be spending in Italy? What are your interests when traveling?
Below is a list of places I hope you can fit in to your itinerary.
I suggest a combination of cities, seaside resort towns and rural smaller towns. I�ve listed how long I would suggest spending there to get a good first-timers feel for the destination on a three-week schedule.
If you have more time or you have a preference for one type of destination over another, please adjust accordingly. If you find your dream destination when you get there � obviously STAY ON and forget the rest of the suggestions! Never be a slave to an itinerary.
Venice (2-3 days)
Rome (3-4 days)
Florence (2-3 days)
Umbria and Tuscany (3-4 days) - Assisi, Lucca, Orvieto, Perugia, Pisa, San Gimignano, Siena
Italian Riviera (3-4 days) � Cinque Terre, Portofino, Santa Margherita
Amalfi Coast and Capri (3-4 days) � Pompeii, Positano, Ravello, Sorrento
Italy has so much to offer. If you have more time, I would suggest the Lakes in the north and Sicily in the south. But don�t try and cram too much into too little time. How much time do you actually have to spend there?
...but it would be nice to chat with others who share this great culture and heritage.
