Hello! Could use some suggestions on this itinerary. We are a party of five traveling in late September (three in our 40s with parents in their 70s). We are planning to train between destinations. We have some flexibility, could add a day, just trying to keep it around 2 weeks.
Fly into Venice
3 nights Venice
2 nights Verona
3 nights Ortisei
3 nights Bologna
3 nights Como
Fly home from Milan
Q: Would you change the number of days for any of these destinations? Any must-see day trips?
Q: I'm not sure the best base for the Dolomites. Looking at both Ortisei and Cortina D'Ampezzo. My parents will not be hiking so they would benefit from a more charming town. Would you suggest having a car for this portion of the trip?
Q: We have been to Varenna in Lake Como (stunning) so were thinking of staying in Como itself this time, to be closer to the Milan airport. We could also stay in Lake Maggiore to try something different. Which would you recommend?
Thanks for your advice!
