Hi all
As I was reading another post this morning, I realized that in my attempt to avoid Easter, I completely neglected to research other Italian holidays in April..including Liberation Day on the 25th.
I've been in the early stages of planning for next year and currently only have one completely refundable hotel booked so if I need to pivot, now is the time.
We are planning for 16 days, and our original dates were to fly in overnight on the 13th, arriving on the 14th, and flying home on the 30th.
I see now that the final week is likely to be mayhem due to the other un-researched holiday on May 1st (I know..learned my lesson 😑).
So..which holiday do I avoid? Easter or Liberation Day? The only dates that would sort of skirt both would be April 9-25th but could that make our arrival and departure days tough transportation wise?
We don't want to go in May as the humid heat would not be enjoyable for us. We do have flexibility to go in March but I've read it's quite damp and chilly and that Amalfi and Capri are less than desirable at that time of year with reduced ferry options too.
Our itinerary is Venice, Florence, Salerno and Rome, hopefully with an open jaw flight into Venice and out of Rome if that makes any difference.
Thank you so much for all your help
