Hello!
My husband and i are traveling to Italy for the first time in beginning of May this year. I have yet to book flights and hotels etc.. Hoping I could get some tips/advice from here
We will have 10 nights total after travel time in Italy
Thinking of flying into Milan and getting straight on train to Venice and staying 3 nights
Then take train to Florence and stay 3 nights
After that train to lake como for 3 nights and train to Milan for 1 night before we fly out early morning.
We like to go see a sight or two in the morning and then take a nice long lunch. Maybe do some shopping after and then relax by the pool or in a bar after before dinner. We like to be immersed in the culture of the place we are visiting and are not always interested in the most touristy spots. We like to stay in 4-5 star hotels. We have a very busy schedule at home and are looking to not go and have a crazy schedule on our holiday. Below is a list of my questions that i hope you can help me out with :)
- with our tight schedule and the places i want to see should i cut one place out? If so which one?
- did i allot too many nights in one place and not enough in another?
- is my plan to fly in and out of Milan a right choice? I am ok with flying in and out of another airport but i need to do a round trip out of same airport.
- any hotel recommendations would be great.
- lastly, I’m Looking at booking the high speed train, is there a big difference between first class and executive. If so, which do you recommend?
