Italy/ France Trip Oct 2021 itinerary

I think it looks pretty good, well thought out and not too overpacked.

We've done both of the Walks of Italy Rome tours you have planned and both were terrific. Good choice.
Capuchin Crypt is creepy/fascinating/different.
I would not day trip to Pompeii- just too far/too long for a day trip so hopefully it works on your travel day to Amalfi. An alternative would be a visit to Ostia Antica- have not been there myself but it gets mentioned here a lot as worthwhile and easy to do from Rome.

If you want something just fun and different on that last Rome day consider a food tour with Eating Europe- the Trastevere am tour was great, and I've only heard good things about the twilight tour as well
They do offer discounts- RS and others I think the code is still EAT10

Versailles was a really long all day event for us, good that you are not planning anything more that day! Might consider a boat cruise on Seine at night- really lovely - no need to book in advance- your feet will thank you. Leaves from Pont Neuf, time it so you are approaching Eiffel when the lights come on. Beautiful.

Happy to see Musee Rodin- a favorite of ours.

Florence- always a pain fitting things in around closed days! The Musee San Marco was one of our most favorite- didn't take too long and nobody there- I'd try to fit it since you will be right there.
Do visit Mercato Centrale- maybe lunch there on Oct 5th.

Have a great trip!

FWIW- we have booked flights for a trip in Sept- we had so many flight credits from canceled trips we went ahead and booked when the price was right. Fingers crossed we get there.

In Paris, consider Musée de l'Orangerie. For dining, Le Relais de Venise.

What an amazing trip! And thank you for posting all of the attraction open times! We will be in Florence the same days: Sat - Tues; is everything closed on Tuesdays?

I will be heading to Italy in November. I love spending time in Florence. Have you looked into the Firenze Card? It is €85/72 hours and covers entrances to most museums and reservations. It is a great time saver especially if you are trying to get to the top museums.
Have a great trip.

For any sightseeing card like the Firenze Card, I'd check very carefully to see whether it is currently working as a pass you can more or less flash and walk right in. A lot of museums have implemented capacity controls that require timed tickets, so entry procedures may have changed, with or without a sightseeing card.

This is a great-looking trip.

An alternative would be a visit to Ostia Antica- have not been there
myself but it gets mentioned here a lot

I thought Pompeii was great and cannot imagine hitting Naples and the Amalfi Coast without seeing it. Full disclosure: I took Latin in high school and college, and I watched the Great Courses' course on Pompeii before my trip to Italy. So, I was highly motivated to see Pompeii!

Thanks for the replies! When I first was looking at places to visit our list was twice as long, so with more planning we had I’m hoping what we plan on seeing is good and not to overpacked. In Florence if we can squeeze in the places we took off for an hour if that’s all we can I will be happy to do that. my hope is that Firenze card is available. And hoping by October I won’t need as timed entry, but have no problem buying tickets beforehand online if I can. I’m so hoping Pompeii is open on our travel day to Positano which is a Monday. On the website it said open everyday starting June 7th thru the summer. I’m hoping October is included in that. We really want to see Pompeii so worse case we do it from Rome, even though it will be a long day. But than we can rest in Positano. Keep the ideas coming! It means a lot

I was checking hours at Florence attractions this morning because we’ll be there on a Tuesday/Wednesday in October. Most museums/churches showed they were open those days. I purchased our airline tickets a couple weeks ago.
