It's been too long, 3 full years this month since my last visit to Europe. I'm keeping it simple this time, embracing slow travel.
Rome I need to find a room for 5 nights. I don't need luxury, but I really want a double bed and a shower, and access to public transportation - metro, trams, buses. My upper limit is about €150. My last visit was in spring 2022, so please tell me if there are newly opened sights or special experiences you enjoyed. I love museums and will probably revisit several. My favorite is Palazzo Massimo for the frescos and mosaics.
Bologna My second visit. This time for 6 nights. I want to take day trips to nearby towns and would like recommendations. I have been to Ferrara and Ravenna. I will probably spend one day in Florence.
Venice One of my favorite cities. I'm staying for 5 nights at a B&B that's a 5 minute walk from San Marco. I am happy just to wander. But if there's anything special you've done here please share.
A few years ago I got a Carta Freccia for seniors that saved a lot of money on trains. Is that still in existence?
