My wife and I will be heading to Italy in October 19-27 and are planning on heading to Rome and Florence. Right now our plan is as follows:
19th - Arrive in Rome, walk around, relax, see what we can, eat gelato and drink some wine
20th - Colliseum, Roman Forum and Palladium
21st - Vatican
22nd - day trip to Pompeii
23rd - Sort of a free day in Rome. Walk around, see some of the sites that we haven't gotten to yet, more food, wine and people watching
24th - Florence
25th - Day trip to Tuscan countryside
26th - Florence
27th - Train back to Airport and head home
Is this a decent itinerary? I know I can add some things to my days in Rome, which we certainly will, those were just the highlights. I haven't done much research on Florence, so I'm not sure what to see there.
Thanks
