Hey all, looking for some input on logistics for a trip and your insight on those who have been. My wife and I are doing a 2 week trip to Italy at the end of May. We land in Rome at 8am on May 20 and leaving June 4th from Milan. We have been to Florence for 4 nights on a previous trip so planning to pass through Florence on this trip. Also, we weren't planning to rent a car and hoping to rely on trains/buses. I was coming up with a preliminary plan outlined below:
May 20: land 8am in Rome (stay in Rome)
5/21: Rome (stay in Rome)
5/22: Vatican sites and Rome (stay in Rome)
5/23: Leave early for Pompeii and continue on to Sorrento (stay in Sorrento)
5/24: Sorrento and explore Amalfi Coast or Capri
5/25: Sorrento and explore Amalfi Coast or Capri
5/26: head to Naples for the day and head to Siena for the night (this one seems rather far but not sure if there is a better option?)
5/27: Siena (stay in Siena)
5/28: Siena to Cinque Terre
5/29: Cinque Terre
5/30: Cinque Terre
5/31: head to Venice (this is another spot I'm struggling because of the distance between the 2. Does anyone have an alternative itinerary to make these work better?)
6/1: Venice
6/2: Venice and head to Milan
6/3: Milan (stay in Milan)
6/4: Fly out of Milan
I don't have any 1 night stays on this itinerary but just wondering how well it would work with trains/buses. Has anyone tried a similar trip and have any input? Any is greatly appreciated
