We (2 adults, 1 child 8yrs) have enough airline miles to for a Spring Break trip to Italy. We will be spending most of our time in Naples/ Pompeii (Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius are the Special interest of our child whom is Autistic). And 2-3 in Venice cause we want to see it before it is gone and maybe a day or two in Rome.
Unfortunately it is around Easter and we are looking at options for short weekend on Easter weekend outside or Italy! Best value of flights are returning of Zürich, Munich or Frankfurt. (London as well but that would be flight not train.)
Which of these cities has the best or most pretty ride??
Which would you say might be the most fun for a quick weekend stop for a family?? (parks, beer gardens, history, food tours, hands on play, are our things)
We arrange our schedule to depart from Rome, Bologna, Venice whatever works best really.
I was reading that the train to Zurich is really beautiful? But I can’t figure out which is the correct to book, I am only seeing packages. As I don’t think we would use the rail pass enough to make it worth the 2 county package? What are the best options to enjoy the view?? As well as assigned comfortable seats?
Munich or Frankfurt Train options? I can see Munich seems to be the place to change over for Frankfurt. Either way would this would a pretty day Train Ride?? What is the best train option??
Also, when do spring ticket sales open?? What is the best type of seat to book? (might cross post this)
