I am planning a trip for a milestone anniversary trip. I can't decide between Scotland or Italy and am asking the community for suggestions.
We have 2 weeks and plan on traveling in either May or Sept/October.
We have been to Italy before, so if we choose Italy we would like to do Lake Como, Tuscany, and possibly Amalfi Coast as we've already been to Rome, Venice, and Florence. We love Italy, but Scotland seems interesting as well and we are having a hard time deciding.
Areas of interest include history, beautiful views, local shopping, good restaurants, afternoon teas, quaint places. We do enjoy the outdoors, but don't plan to spend a great deal of time doing a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, etc. We are more sightseers. We know parts of Europe can be crowded of course and don't mind some people around but want to avoid huge crowds.
Would Italy or Scotland be a better choice for what we are wanting for this trip? We'd like to have some activities each day, but also not be constantly on the go.
