Just wondering if some suggestions could be offered by the wonderful RS community. We have booked flights for our summer holidays in Europe and would love some suggestions. We leave on July 30, arriving in Lisbon on the 31st. This will be our first time visiting Portugal. We will be leaving for home on August 22 from Rome.
We're a family of 4 (kids are 15/19), our 19 year old has autism. Last year we did I think 17 days or so and covered Paris/Munich/Vienna/Lake Como and thought the 3-4 days in each place, this year we want to stay a bit longer at each stop and slow the pace down when we are visiting.
We really have no plan as yet, we want to see Lisbon and want to show the kids Venice and Cinque Terre which we've visited before kids.
So roughly in our heads we're thinking:
6 nights in Lisbon (with 2-3 day trips out)
fly to Venice and stay for 3 nights
train to Florence 4 nights
train to Cinque Terre 4 nights (or perhaps another place we can just relax for awhile)
train to Rome with whatever nights are remaining
I'll post in Italy forum as well.
Thank you all for your thoughts:)
