Hi,
We are a late 20s couple visiting Italy in November for the first time. Other than the more famous touristy spots in Rome up front, we are pretty much open to anything and generally have a very laid-back style of travel. We like to walk around, eat food, grab drinks, pop into whatever looks interesting and explore. We don't plan on renting a car (hence skipping the usual Tuscany on this type of loop). Just looking for thoughts on where we should stay longer, shorter, skip, go instead, etc.
Here is a rough idea of what we thinking:
1 - Arrive mid-day in Rome, settle in
2 - Rome
3 - Rome
4 - Train to Florence, spend the day in Florence
5 - Florence (Maybe day trip to Siena?)
6 - Florence (Maybe day trip to cinque terra?)
7 - Travel to Venice early, spend rest of day in Venice
8 - Venice
9 - leave Venice to Lake Como (via train to Milan)
10 - Como
11 - Como
12 - travel to Milan, spend remainder of day in Milan
13 - early flight out of Milan
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
