Hello all, I just booked flights and will be slowly filling in the details. I am more of the "pack the day full" type of traveler and my fiance is more of relaxed pace type of person. I have been to Rome as a teenager but my future husband has never been to Italy. I have been reading through other itineraries to get ideas. But wondering if I am trying to fit too much in and if we should perhaps slow down? We plan to travel exclusively by train unless it seems we need a car and are a fit late 20s/early 30s couple. I just bought the Rick Steeves 2018 book and plan to read through that as well but want to get some feedback before I go booking hotels.
Sun April 22: Arrive in Venice around 9am, plan to relax/ explore around hotel, not sure how much is available as a tourist on a Sunday
Mon April 23: Venice
Tues April 24: Venice
Wed April 25: Travel via train to Cinque Terre (would it make more sense to go to Florence First)
Thur April 26: Cinque Terre
Fri April 27: Train to Florence
Sat April 28: Florence
Sun April 29: Florence/ possible day trip to Pisa
Mon April 30: Bus from Florence to Siena
Tues May 1: Spend day in Siena then head to Rome early evening
Wed May 2: Day at the Vatican (we are Catholic so going to go marriage blessing in the morning and then plan to tour St. Peters in afternoon)
Thur May 3: Borghese Gallery (I have yet to make reservations)
Fri May 4: Colosseum/Pantheon/ whatever else we have missed
Sat May 5th: Fly home in AM
Thank you in advance for your help!!!
