Hello Rick & Andrea I am Neha from India, my husband & myself planning Italy for 18 days. I appreciate all your videos which gives clarity & vision to plan itenary to visit best of Italy.
Currently on Day 7 of my 14 Day Italy Trip! Making this comment now so I won’t forget to later, but thank you so much for this! It made things so much easier for me. I’ve loved every day. Crazy how different each city is! So much culture. I also threw in a day trip to San Gimignano which was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Thanks again. ❤
Thank you for the incredible video guys! You helped me so much navigating my trip! I have 2 weeks in Italy and I decided to: 1. Land in Milan, explore 2. Whole day in Milan explore 3. Milan day trip to Lake Como 4. Milan day trip to Venice 5. Leave Milan for Florence 6.-10. Day Florence 11. Leave Florence for Rome 11. - 14. Rome
direct non stop milano malpensa or linate or venice airports; connecting to florence or naples. torino cremona mantova bergamo busseto pesaro also worth visiting especially for opera music fans catania too
Another great video guys. Our trip is 20 days in Italy. Agree with you on more nights in Rome. We live between the Indian and Atlantic Ocean, yes 15 mins drive to each Ocean. One warm and one Cold if you can imagine that. MILAN is one of our favorite places. We have included Florence Venice Milan and the last 4 days in Come City.
Moving north to south (or vice versa) is definitely a good idea. But of course many of us fly into Rome which is smack dab in the center and can make that kind of challenging if you want to go to destinations in both directions without backtracking.
@@TravelAddictsLifethat's the problem I have now trying to plan my honeymoon. At the end of the trip, instead of circling back to Rome, would it be easier to fly out of Milan?
Incredibly helpful video. I am planning my itinerary along the same lines but want to do Milan too. It's gonna be my first time in Italy next month so super excited. Need your feedback on this itinerary. 1. Land in Rome - I reach early so can leave for a walking tour 2. Rome Sightseeing 3. Rome Food tour (yeah we love food so sightseeing + food) 4. Rome Shopping + Sightseeing 5. Rome to Naples - Naples food tour 6. Pompeii 7. Capri 8. Positano 9. Naples to Florence - Have lunch and leave for Pisa 10. Explore Florence - at ease 11. Tuscany Day Trip 12. Florence to Venice - Sightseeing 13. Explore Venice 14. Venice to Milan - at ease 15. Lake Como Day Trip 16 Milan Shopping & food tour 17. Milan to Zurich 17 & 18 Zurich - at ease (it's my third time in Zurich) 19 Fly back home
The Itinerary looks fantastic. Stay tuned because this week we will be publishing a video on how to get to Milan! The only thing that looks a bit tight is the Naples-Florence-Pisa in one day, you will be really tired at the end of that day.
@@TravelAddictsLife I agree. But we just want to see Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa. So doesn't make sense to keep a whole day for it. In this video, you mentioned that it looks beautiful at night. Hence, we thought of doing it on the same day. Also, will be waiting for your video! One last quick question, should we keep Naples or Sorrento as our base? We want to do one day Naples food tour and other days Capri, Positano and Pompeii on scooter. Thanks in advance ❤
I'm doing pretty much the same thing as you're planning here EXCEPT I'm skipping Venice (have no desire to go there) and Lake Como. I'm doing exactly what you're doing up to #11, then going from Florence to Milan, then Milan to Paris and flying home from there.
For our first time in Europe, we are going to Milano for a concert next July. Debating something like: USA > London > Paris > Milano (Thurs - Sun) > Lake Como > Venice > fly home or USA > Milano (Thurs - Sun) > Lake Como > Venice > Florence > Rome > fly home Aiming for around 10 days. It's going to be hot and busy in July so part of me is debating just staying north and saving the south for another trip. Any thoughts? So many options for getting there we're hoping to be clever and find a cheap flight to Europe then take a train or regional airline to Milano. Then there's thinking about doing this all in the reverse! Whatever is more affordable 😅
Your first idea is way too much unless you have at least 2-3 weeks for your trip. London to Paris takes the better part of a day (only a couple of hours on the Eurostar, but the whole trip time hotel to hotel will be a few hours start to finish.) Paris to Milan will either be many hours on a train, or you'll need to fly. The flight itself isn't very long, but CDG is way outside of Paris, so you have to factor that into your trip time there, as well. The second idea sounds much more doable. London and Paris is one trip, and Italy is another (if it's 10 days you're talking about.)
Thank you so much for this video. Planning on being Italy for 10 days not including flights. What would you recommend starting in Rome and ending in Rome? Would love to visit all 4 cities you mentioned, but would 3 make more sense for limited time. Would love your input. Thank you!
Thank you for input. Was thinking Rome, Florence, and Venice. Would you switch Naples for Florence or Venice in your opinion. Planning on spending 3 nights in each city at end of September. Thank you
Great video, I just started planning a trip to Italy, i see flights from Venice back to the U.S. , is this recommended? Rather than train back to Rome for one day. Fly into Rome, Fly out of Venice.
Wow this video was so great. Going to Italy in July for 2 weeks. 1. Flying into Rome taking the train to Naples 2. Naples for 4-5 days 3. Take the train from Naples to Florence 4. Florence (few days) 5. Florence to Tuscany 6. Tuscany (few days) 7. Rome for (4-5 days) 8. Leave What I wanted to ask is what the high speed train from Naples to Florence And would we be able to take a bus from Florence to Tuscany? and about how long? Thanks for your help!!
That is a great itinerary. Regarding Tuscany it all depends on where in Tuscany you would like to go. It is a pretty big area and Florence it is the capital of Tuscany. If you go to Montalcino or Montepulciano or San Giminiano you can definitely take a bus. Alternatively you can take a tour of Tuscany that will stop in most of the main towns. We are not sure about what you are asking about the high speed trains. From Naples you can take the Frecciarossa to Florence, it takes 3 hours and 5 minutes and there is a train every hour or so.
You've already done your trip by now. I have almost exactly the same trip planned for next month, except that after Florence we'll go to Milan. It's only slightly farther from Florence to Milan than going back to Rome and you get to see different countryside on the train, and see one more city before you leave.
Thank you for your time making this informative video! My wife and I thinking of visiting this beautiful country next year in 2025. Please advise on how to make hotel reservations for every city you visit.
Thank you for your comment, we did talk about finding hotels in several cities on our latest video check it out here: Plan your trip to Italy - Some secrets to plan. the perfect trip to Italy. th-cam.com/video/R6VSopBUHtY/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys. Love the video and the channel. Got a question for you. We are heading to Italy in late April and flying into Rome Fiumicino then heading for Florence. What's the best way to train up to Florence? Get tickets from Fiumicino or head into Rome? Also, any general idea of how long it takes to clear customs/passport control? I'm trying to minimize wait time and get to Florence as quickly as possible. Thanks and keep up the interesting videos!
The best way to Florence is taking the Leonardo express to Rome termini then take the high speed train to Florence. Unfortunately we can’t tell you how long it will take for custom in Fiumicino because it depends on how many planes land at that particular time.
Hello guys, great video btw , straight to the point and it was very helpful, just a qst please, if I want to visit more of the country side + beaches in italy, is it possible? Or at least one village os city that regroups both ?
This is a great video. Thank you so much for all the information! One question, would you think it’s worth adding Sardinia in place of any of the suggestions in the video?
It coming for 8 full days what would you suggest for the first time We where thinking 2 days Venice ,2 days Florence ,1 Milano and then 3 Rome Does it sounds too much Love your videos and all the advice thank you so much
Loving your videos, very informative, looking at planning a 28 day holiday in 2026 for our family of 8 on a budget. Interested in your views on how to go about planning. Would travel by train or perhaps domestic flight(depending on cost). Age ranging from 13-70+
Thank you for the video me and my wife is going to Venice for a cruise in September next year. We also would like to stay about seven more days after the cruise. Do you have any suggestions especially about Airbnb
Planning on going sometime next year! I’ve noticed flight prices are cheapest during Jan/Feb months. I’d like to keep the budget low on travel, would these months be worth it in your opinion? Thanks for the awesome video!!
Thank you for your comment. January and February can be a bit cold but as you said prices are much lower and you will have much less crowd. Let us know how you like your trip
Great, informative video but I'm wondering why you chose to break your original suggestion to travel in 1 direction? I.e. Rome to Naples (south) , Naples to Florance (north), Florence to Venice (north), Venice to Rome (south)
Hi, Re: the train. How far in advance do you need to book your train tickets between smaller cities… such as Venice to bologna and bologna to Verona? Can you book the day before or the day of? Love your videos… this is the perfect video topic for us… we are planning our approximate itinerary. Thanks Katie
Thank you so much! If you book the non high speed trains you can book them anytime even the same day of traveling. When you book high speed trains it is better to book them early to get the best price.
Thank you for the great video. I am planning to visit Italy this year. Would you be able to share your recommendation on how much to tip on various services? And best way to stay connected on my mobile devices...do I need to purchase sim card, etc. Thank you!
A sim card is probably the easiest and cheapest solution for you. Tipping is not required in general you can leave a couple of euros at restaurant and same at hotels for bags.
This is very informative video. Thank you so much for this iternary. We are thinking to visit Italy in Mid September for 10 days total. We are aware that it is impossible to cover all attractions in first trip. Can you provide your feedback for our trip? Day-1 Landing in Rome. Day-2 to 4: Rome Day-5 and 6: Naple local food (Famous pizza) and other attractions Day-7: Sorrento Day-8,9: Positano, Capri and Amalfi Cost Day-10 Return to Rome. Please advise. Thank you so much in advance.
Hello Komal, the itinerary that you have is pretty good. Keep in mind that visiting Capri will take one day on its own because it is an island and the ferry ride from Sorrento takes about 45 minutes each way.
Thank you so much for quick response. Really appreciate it. I was just curious to know that spending 2 days at Naples make sense? I was reading somewhere that it’s not safe for tourist. So we are just skeptical to include that in the iternary but we also wanted to include Naples to try best Pizza in the world. We only wanted to do south Italy in this trip, so do you think we are covering most of the attractions in this trip? Thanks again for your response.
@@living4foodntravel There is an amazing one about one and half hour from Naples, we have done it and it is amazing. here is the link: www.getyourguide.com/naples-l162/from-naples-paestum-and-mozzarella-tasting-day-tour-t396394/?partner_id=3LIR4AD&placement=content-top
Hello, I'm planning 2 weeks in Italy in November. I need the American holiday's for the extra time off work. Can you advise if November is a good time to visit? Are Tuscan winery tours available in November? I'm going solo so I'll generally be relying on local tours to get to smaller towns. I'm likely going to focus in Rome and Florence but if I can squeeze in the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii I'd love to. I assumed November isn't a great time for Amalfi though. I thank you for any advice.
November is a good time to visit because it is way less busy with tourists, it might be a bit rainy but overall you’ll enjoy it. It will be fine to visit Pompeii but the Amalfi coast might not be the best time of the year because of the weather. However you could visit Naples while you are there. Winery in Tuscany are open, but you’ll need to make a reservation.
We will be in Lucca for a week for a wedding. We will be in Florence for 4 days before the wedding. Can you recommend short trips of areas to see while based in Lucca?
Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you tell me what happens if I miss a train connection? Some of the connections are short and I am worried about this. Also do you see people walking around with expensive cameras? I am a photographer and want to bring my lenses and cameras but read about pickpocketing. I wouldn't expect them to threaten me to give up my camera but I just don't know. Thanks for any advice!
Depends on the trains. If you miss a high speed train you will have to go to the ticket counter and get your ticket replaced. On regular train just wait for the following one. We have been on trains with expensive camera gears several times and we have never had a problem
Thank you so much for your response. I just want to clarify. When you say "replace" ticket on high speed one, do you mean I have to purchase another one or just get an updated ticket?
Hello. I’m from massachusetts. I’m planing to go to Europe. I don’t know how to plan. Italy; Venice and Rome. And Paris. Which way should I a take. I’ll stay in Barcelona
Hello there, with seven days you can spend 3 days in Rome, 2 in Florence and 2 in Venice. That is a bit of a short time but you will see some of the most important landmarks!
Hi, I’m going to be going to Italy with my 16 year old son for the first time. We are planning to stay 10 days and then Barcelona, then Greece please help me to plan it. I will be arriving to Rome. I only bought 1 way.
@@TravelAddictsLife venice, Pompeii, pisa. I already purchased the attraction for Rome. I need help with knowing where I need to stay if I want to visit Pompeii and Pisa?also what trains I need to take and what stop. From there I will be going to Venice. I’m trying to follow what are you guys are suggesting. By the way thank you for replying . You guys are the best!!
To go to Pompeii you’ll need to catch the train from Rome to Naples and from there you’ll take the little train to Pompeii (we have a video about that on our channel). You can then take the train from Naples to Pisa and then from Pisa to Venice.
I've never wanted to specifically go to Milan. However, on my upcoming trip to Italy, we are doing Rome -> Naples -> Amalfi Coast -> Florence -> Milan. It didn't make sense to me to backtrack from Florence to Rome - we'll have already been in Rome. It is practically the same distance to go on to Milan from Florence and fly home (or to the next destination) from there, so why not? The cathedral alone will surely be worth the visit, and we could even pop off the train somewhere along the way (Bologna, maybe?) for a lunch and a quick look around.

What would be a good itinerary for a relaxing vacation? i.e. The best beaches (beach towns and hotels) and wine tours. Thanks!
Sardinia would be fantastic for that, also Sicily or the coast of Tuscany
Travogram might be able to help
Great tips!🙏 Any videos of a trip to Siciliy and Puglia? 😍
Thank you 🙏 not yet we will make some
Best itinerary: Landing in Milan (Lake Como)---Venice----Florence(Tuscany)----Rome-----Naples(Costiera)----Rome, back home. North to south. Simple.
For our first time in Europe, we are going to Milano for a concert next July. Debating something like:
USA > London > Paris > Milano (Thurs - Sun) > Lake Como > Venice > fly home
or
USA > Milano (Thurs - Sun) > Lake Como > Venice > Florence > Rome > fly home
Aiming for around 10 days. It's going to be hot and busy in July so part of me is debating just staying north and saving the south for another trip. Any thoughts? So many options for getting there we're hoping to be clever and find a cheap flight to Europe then take a train or regional airline to Milano.
Then there's thinking about doing this all in the reverse! Whatever is more affordable 😅
They both look great itineraries . Regarding the heat the difference between Milan and Rome is not that much.
Your first idea is way too much unless you have at least 2-3 weeks for your trip. London to Paris takes the better part of a day (only a couple of hours on the Eurostar, but the whole trip time hotel to hotel will be a few hours start to finish.) Paris to Milan will either be many hours on a train, or you'll need to fly.

@bergstrer Rome, Florence and Venice would be a great way to see some of the best places Italy has to offer. 👍🏻
Great video, I just started planning a trip to Italy, i see flights from Venice back to the U.S. , is this recommended? Rather than train back to Rome for one day. Fly into Rome, Fly out of Venice.
Thank you for the comment. Yes that is good option as well!
Great video thank you! when doing tours like this is it recommended to stay in air B&Bs? if so do i need to book in advance?
Thank you so much! B&B are a great option and you should definitely book them in advance
Love you videos so much information packed in them. Can you help us with hotel booking we are travelling in September
Thank you 🙏 we do not deal with hotels just yet.
Wow this video was so great. Going to Italy in July for 2 weeks.

I was just curious to know that spending 2 days at Naples make sense? I was reading somewhere that it’s not safe for tourist. So we are just skeptical to include that in the iternary but we also wanted to include Naples to try best Pizza in the world. We only wanted to do south Italy in this trip, so do you think we are covering most of the attractions in this trip?

Naples is a city with a very bad reputation but in our experience it is totally safe and really fun! Just use some common sense and you’ll be fine
Ok thank you so much. I think 1 day will be sufficient to explore Naples.
Do you have any recommendations for Mozzarella factory near Rome or Naples?
@@living4foodntravel There is an amazing one about one and half hour from Naples, we have done it and it is amazing. here is the link: www.getyourguide.com/naples-l162/from-naples-paestum-and-mozzarella-tasting-day-tour-t396394/?partner_id=3LIR4AD&placement=content-top
I was wondering, why do we have to fly in and out of Rome aren’t there closer airports for example after Venice, isn’t there an airport closer?
You do not have to fly in and out of Rome, if you airline fare allow you to fligh out of a different airport that would be better
I wish I can retirement in Italy 🇮🇹 😢😢
Me too!
Do you think it’s worth going to visit Positano and the Amalfi coast during early March?
It might be a bit cold but also very quiet
@@TravelAddictsLife so it probably wouldn’t be a mistake to visit Matera or Palermo instead?
Matera is really stunning and in March is a great time to go. Palermo is nice but our favorite areas of Sicily are Catania, Siracusa and Agrigento.
@@TravelAddictsLife thanks!! You guys create great videos. It’s always very informative. Keep it up!
Thank you so much 😊
guy.Enjoyed, what a breathtaking trip- would you like more views?, see you later- 📹
Thank you 🙏
Hello, I'm planning 2 weeks in Italy in November. I need the American holiday's for the extra time off work. Can you advise if November is a good time to visit? Are Tuscan winery tours available in November? I'm going solo so I'll generally be relying on local tours to get to smaller towns. I'm likely going to focus in Rome and Florence but if I can squeeze in the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii I'd love to. I assumed November isn't a great time for Amalfi though. I thank you for any advice.
November is a good time to visit because it is way less busy with tourists, it might be a bit rainy but overall you’ll enjoy it. It will be fine to visit Pompeii but the Amalfi coast might not be the best time of the year because of the weather. However you could visit Naples while you are there. Winery in Tuscany are open, but you’ll need to make a reservation.
@@TravelAddictsLife thank you 😊
Andrea Frank it could be good all depends on the weather. Last year it was great
Would you not like to go to Milan? For at least one day.
Yes you can go to Milan for one day we actually made a video about visiting Milan in one day
We will be in Lucca for a week for a wedding. We will be in Florence for 4 days before the wedding. Can you recommend short trips of areas to see while based in Lucca?
Are you driving?
@@TravelAddictsLife I would rather not drive but we can rent a car if that's what is needed.
Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you tell me what happens if I miss a train connection? Some of the connections are short and I am worried about this.
Also do you see people walking around with expensive cameras? I am a photographer and want to bring my lenses and cameras but read about pickpocketing. I wouldn't expect them to threaten me to give up my camera but I just don't know. Thanks for any advice!
Depends on the trains. If you miss a high speed train you will have to go to the ticket counter and get your ticket replaced. On regular train just wait for the following one. We have been on trains with expensive camera gears several times and we have never had a problem
Thank you so much for your response. I just want to clarify. When you say "replace" ticket on high speed one, do you mean I have to purchase another one or just get an updated ticket?
If the train is delayed than they will replace the ticket
Thank you!
Hello. I’m from massachusetts. I’m planing to go to Europe. I don’t know how to plan. Italy; Venice and Rome. And Paris. Which way should I a take. I’ll stay in Barcelona
Hello we are sorry but we are not sure what the question is
can you do a video on positano and how to get there from rome?
We will do that.
We have 7 days there’s and never been to Italy. Where should we go?
Hello there, with seven days you can spend 3 days in Rome, 2 in Florence and 2 in Venice. That is a bit of a short time but you will see some of the most important landmarks!
Can Milan be included in this itinerary?
You can squeeze Milan in but you will Niue to cut other areas short
Hi, I’m going to be going to Italy with my 16 year old son for the first time. We are planning to stay 10 days and then Barcelona, then Greece please help me to plan it. I will be arriving to Rome. I only bought 1 way.
Is there any place in particular that you wish to see?
@@TravelAddictsLife venice, Pompeii, pisa. I already purchased the attraction for Rome. I need help with knowing where I need to stay if I want to visit Pompeii and Pisa?also what trains I need to take and what stop. From there I will be going to Venice. I’m trying to follow what are you guys are suggesting. By the way thank you for replying . You guys are the best!!
To go to Pompeii you’ll need to catch the train from Rome to Naples and from there you’ll take the little train to Pompeii (we have a video about that on our channel). You can then take the train from Naples to Pisa and then from Pisa to Venice.
@@TravelAddictsLife thank you so much. Do I need to buy the ticket in advance from the Rome airport to the city? Or I can buy it when I get there?
@@TravelAddictsLife you guys need to became personal tour guides. Or at least be able to program our trips. I will be your first client.
Is it possible to visit Italy in 4 days and 3 nights?
It is possible to visit a city in Italy in 4 days
Why is Milan left out of most itineraries? Seems like most if not all the research I do Milan is never included.
Because it might be less famous then Rome, Florence or Venice
I've never wanted to specifically go to Milan. However, on my upcoming trip to Italy, we are doing Rome -> Naples -> Amalfi Coast -> Florence -> Milan. It didn't make sense to me to backtrack from Florence to Rome - we'll have already been in Rome. It is practically the same distance to go on to Milan from Florence and fly home (or to the next destination) from there, so why not? The cathedral alone will surely be worth the visit, and we could even pop off the train somewhere along the way (Bologna, maybe?) for a lunch and a quick look around.
My wife is convinced April is the only month to visit italy. What you say about it?
April is a great month to visit Italy but May, September and the beginning of October are fantastic months as well
@@TravelAddictsLife if you had a choice, which month is best?
@@vagabondvans6571 we love end of September beginning of October
You should add prices of everything. It would be WAY better.
Unfortunately that is not possible because prices change all the time depending on availability and time of the year
Thankyou for this video, may I ask is Rome and it’s hotels tolerant of same sex couples staying?
Hey thank you 🙏 yes you will have no problem in Rome
@@TravelAddictsLife thankyou!
