Here is our itinerary so far....we will be taking trains to get around. My only real concern is getting from Varenna to Milan on way to Venice, I have tickets booked but worried about crowding, but we leave early in the morning.
Day one - arrive in Milan at 11:20 AM
Day 2-3 - Milan, Have the Duomo rooftop tour at 10 AM, have Last Supper tour at 5PM
Day 3-6 - Arrive in Varenna, stay there for three days, nothing booked. Debating renting a boat one day.
Day 6-8 - Venice, have nothing booked but will most likely do Doge palace etc. Staying near the train station.
Day 8-15 - Florence. Staying near Ponte Vecchio in an Airbnb. Have Uffizi booked day 9 first tour in morning, have David scheduled
day 10 first entry in morning.
Day 15 - Back to Milan for flight out the next day, staying the night at the airport.. Debating stopping in Bologna for the day if we can
find somewhere to store bags.
Day 16 - Flight back
We want to use Florence as our base for day trips etc. We were in Rome last year after a cruise, so won't be going there. Any suggestions on anything else to make sure I book? Anything you suggest we see that I haven't covered. We really want to explore while we are there this time. Wife, me and 12 yr old daughter.
Thanks
