I have 3 days and I will like to add another location ...

I would add them to your existing stops. You need another night in Naples to have time for two day trips (Ischia and Procida), and another day there would give you time to visit Pompeii or Herculaneum, and another day for Naples itself would be nice.

I don;t know anything about the car tours, but have you determined if two nights in Modena will give you sufficient time for those?

You have a another question about packing--have you identified when you will have time for laundry with this plan?

I would add an additional day/night to Rome.
Where are you going to be when you visit Pompeii? Pompeii can be an all day adventure.
What are you seeing in Naples? Maybe add another night there.

I would expand your current schedule because two night stands is barely a day at that location.

Add one day to three of your two nighters. Slow down.

If interested in Pompeii, Herculaneum is an interesting contrast. They were preserved in different ways. That adds an extra day wherever you are staying for Pompeii.
More time in Rome.

Agree with the others. Add days to your existing stops.

If it were I, I'd go with an extra night in Naples and two extra nights in Rome.

If you are absolutely set on adding an additional stop elsewhere and unwilling to be pursuaded by all of these responses, I'd suggest Siena.

Two night stays are mid (as the kids say). Reduce them in your itinerary. To be perfectly honest I think I actually like one night stays better, with those you're not kidding yourself that you're doing like a real sort of Business place.

Figure out if there are places where you could roll in see what you want to see spend the night and leave.

And then turn some other destinations into three or four nights stays.

It would have been preferable to add/ edit your original post regarding your trip, rather than starting a new one. https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/italy/still-working-in-my-itinerary-how-is-it-look.

It gives us a chance to understand your thought process. And many people enjoy reading them and do learn from your questions! And I see you deleted a thread you started earlier asking why so many of us commented on how crowded CT & AC would be in June during your visit, (because they WILL be crowded!). Again, if you'd added to original post, it allows others to consider the replies.

And I agree with others, zipping through more destinations doesn't add to enjoyment, only travel time & stress. My Italian relatives laugh at tourists who dash through the sites without stopping for a leisurely meal, enjoy a passeggiata (stroll), wander down some lesser-known streets, take some time to ENJOY what Italy has to offer. I've lost track of what you said you enjoy about traveling, maybe it's in your original post? Hope you have a great trip!

You don’t have any days listed for Tuscany, just four nights in Florence. If you’d like to visit Tuscany add your extra days there. Personally I would skip the Cinque Terre and use those days for Tuscany.
If you are set on the Cinque Terre, stay at HotelPorto Roca, up on a bluff overlooking the sea.

Yup, everyone is right, add those nights to your current places. I'd add two to Rome and one more to Florence/Tuscany (could be a day trip to Siena).

I'm even REthinking Cinque Terre and just change it to another location because all the bad reviews everywhere, in every blog I read ....
It is there a way to make it enjoyable??...maybe going to different Path Trail??...maybe staying away in a least touristic place...I like the vibe...but not the overcrowded atmosphere....

It is there close place that will be similar without the crowd ??

Thanks

It is there a way to make it enjoyable??...maybe going to different Path Trail??...maybe staying away in a least touristic place

You could stay in a different part of Liguria, like Santa Margherita Liguria, Rapallo, or Camogli. Much less frantic with their own charms and close enough to take a day trip to the Cinque Terre if you have to see it. Or stay in Lerici on the Golf of Poets. Again, calmer, but access to other towns and areas is mostly by bus.

There are many hiking options other than the overcrowded Sentiero Azzuro. At this site is a good map and lots of information.

I have 3 extra nights , what place I should add to this list??

I would add 2 nights to Florence and 1 night to Naples. If you insist in a new location, the new location would be Siena first choice or Assisi second choice or Orvieto third choice. I'm assuming you've being to Rome before, I think you said that in another thread.

staying at Motorroso al Mare ??

I'm staying 3 nights in Monterosso al Mare in April so that's where I recommend you stay.

Venice?....

I would add lake Como, Verona, of Bolzano near start. Bologna near middle. Then cut down the time in some of these other places.

If you’re landing in Milan you could go directly to Lake Como for three nights to relax, tour the lake and get over jet lag. Milan is only an hour train ride away so once you’re done with Lake Como then continue on with your stated plans.

It’s also not a bad idea to sprinkle those three extra nights to your existing plans.

I agree with Laurel that Santa Margherita Liguria or Camogli are good options to the Cinque Terre.

Good suggestions from Laurel.

If I remember correctly, the OP has already been to Venice and didn't care for it: said it was so crowded that it scared her. At the same time, Vero, you don't want to stay in isolated places, such as an agriturismo in the countryside, right?

Additionally, Vero, you didn't like London (why?) and "do not like places like Irland" (why?) You don't like "crowded places with long lines." It might be easier for people to make recommendations if you could give us some examples of places you've traveled to that you did enjoy and why? Understand as well that you're going to be traveling during high season, and to some of the most-visited locations in Italy so lines and crowds are simply going to be difficult to avoid at times.

This concerns me:
"...my trip is in June. 25 days .But Im not worry about accommodations, Im sure I will find a place to sleep...!!!" Budget is between $100 and $200. Did you mean in euros or Argentine Peso?. Or a different currency? This from a previous post:

Im also traveling from Argentina and I will like to pay on the hotel
since currency exchange is not favorable for me to pay in advance when
booking from my country... I will need to pay in hotel at check in.

I'm a little confused why the exchange rate would be any different if booking in advance than booking when you get there? Not, of course, that you have to book anything requiring payment in advance but the exchange rate is what it is if that makes sense?

haha Kathy !! ok ...not sure the point of your post quoting me... on all my posts ... ok!!

when I pay with my CC internationally my country charges me an extra 60% extra on top of that payment ... so when I travel I only use cash...not CC otherwise I end up expending an extra 60% more on everything !!!

Hi Vero - I quoted you or referred back to some previous threads that have since been deleted 'cause the more people know about you and some relevant details about your trip, the better we can help you. For instance, once poster recommended Venice? That you'd already been and found it too crowded was one of the those details in a deleted post so best that people are aware of that.

That you are not especially concerned with booking accommodations at this late date, on a budget, and looked to have a potential currency exchange-rate issue was of enough concern to address, IMHO. Cinque Terre accommodations fill long before high season, and most of Capri's are VERY expensive. That you're intending on paying all of your hotels in cash means being able to obtain large amounts of euros, and that can be difficult from ATMs that often have limits on the amount they'll dispense. But maybe you're planning on another way around that?

So, just trying to help. :O)

Changing locations uses up precious time and energy. You could add a day each to Florence and Rome and do day trips from each-Siena from Florence and Orvieto from Rome.

when I pay with my CC internationally my country charges me an extra 60% extra on top of that payment

I have never heard of such a thing. What kind of credit card do you have? Where do you live?

Rome is a fantastic city but for me 3 nights is plenty. I find it a bit exhausting.

Your schedule is really very good. Normally my advice is "slow down" but you've already done that. With that in mind, you could spend 3 nights

Siena, Orvieto, or Hill town of your choice. (check connections but you may want a car)
Lucca
Lago di Como

alternatively, just add day trips from Florence.

Renting a car where? Why?!?

we will be renting a car ..and maybe stop by small little towns listed below ...

There's parts of your trip where a car would be helpful and parts of your trip where having a car will be a real nuisance. I see confusion and frustration ahead.

Regarding the car, looks like you've changed your mind?

Florence: I can't tell if you're staying in Florence or not but you do not want a car there. If driving the Tuscan towns (and cities: Siena is not a small town) be aware that you won't be driving into the centers of many of them; you'll be parking outside (don't leave anything of value in the car) and either walking or taking public transit into them. Also be aware of traffic laws in Italy that may be different than at home, and may result in large fines if violated, such as driving into a ZTL: zones that are off limits to all but residents or off limits to almost everyone. Short story long, if you're going to rent and have never driven Italy before, please do your homework.

Pretty sure you're going to need an International Driver's Permit as well but hopefully someone else can answer that question. Please clarify that you are a citizen of Argentina?

THANK YOU ALL!!

Yes, Im Argentinian living in Argentina currently, American Resident I lived between Delray Beach & NYC for 25 years...my daughter is American and she lives there... :)

Im thinking renting a car in Milan...living it in Naples...still thinking this. But to get to some places is a lot easier and faster in car.

We are very fit and active, not concerned about walking, stairs, carrying and lifting ;-)

Ansering you:
-Is not my first time in Europe: I have been in Como, Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Venice., St Morritz
It is my partners first time in Europe. I love Tuscany but Im concerned that is only wineries there my partner does not drink.
-In CT I will stay in Monterosso
-Venice? not this time
-I may go to Como for couple of days right after Milan and then Maranello. Also thinking in of Brescia. Because I realized I will like to spend a little more time in the north.
-We are intrepid and adventurous , will making IDL next week. And we are reading a lot about gas prices and driving laws...not familiar with electric cars so reading about that as well since a lot of rental cars are electric
-yes, im still thinking if adding a day in Naples, some of my relatives advice me that 2 days in Naples was enough
-Im not so concerned about laundry LOL... I already got some questions answered about that in my other post. I decided not to take carry on but to check in a "smaller luggage" only for the reason I will like to do some shopping and bring stuff... I do love all the pottery ((lemons and colorfull decorative plate or so)) they do there not sure how to bring that home but I will LOVE to have something like that decorating my home ...I already have places that sell them to visit like (Deruta-Umbria. and https://www.ceramicassunta.com/en/), so this and getting to those "more remote places" will require a car

It's very late for June 2024 housing in Sorrento and Capri, if not the other places as well. You should do some availability checks before buying transportation. You may be stuck with your tenth, highest cost, choice.

You have a lot of in-country travel, and seem to have zero time planned AT many stops because of massive, full-day daytrips. That's your travel style choice, but (for example) rooms are probably easier to get in Naples. Your itinerary need a reality-check.

A first visit to Rome deserves five or more nights, especially since you may be going (!?) to Villa D'Este, Hadrian's Villa, Ostia Antica, Vatican City, and Castel Gandolfo?? (Ironica typeface)

It seems like this itinerary is all about travel with next to zero time to see anything, but from the additional destinations you want to add, I guess that's what you want. Many forum members have already addressed the car issue here.

ROME 3 N (23 - 24 leave ) - So you're arriving from Positano / Amalfi on 23rd, that will take 1/2 a day transiting & dropping off bags. And leaving on 24th, not sure what time but that day is unlikely to allow for much sight seeing.
Actually, since you keep adding (and sometimes deleting) new threads, it's hard to keep track of your itinerary. So just guessing this is the latest.

A first visit to Rome deserves five or more nights, especially since you may be going (!?) to Villa D'Este, Hadrian's Villa, Ostia Antica, Vatican City, and Castel Gandolfo

Vatican City is the only one of these destinations that's actually in Rome, and that takes 1/2 a day just to get into museum, through security and into St Peters & have time to actually see any art. So you have only 1 day left to see Rome, assuming you're not going to take any of the excursions outside Rome. If you really want to do it this way, I would suggest a 1-day full tour of Rome, perhaps with the Rome Guy, they will get you into the Vatican, Forum & Coliseum. Again, no time to relax, enjoy a meal, recover from extensive travel, or just get lost and enjoy the sights.
