Italy!!

Hi ladies..my husband and I are planning a trip to Italy in the fall. We will probably have 9-10 days but have no idea where to go, or stay. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Re: Italy!!

I'm going towards the end of April and this is what we are doing.

We are staying for two weeks.

we are visiting Milan, Venice, Florence, the amalfi coast and Rome.

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them after I get back.

Re: Italy!!

All of Italy is great - but if you want to focus on fewer places and spend more time in each, I personally preferred Southern Italy. Rome is a must-see. And DEFINITELY Pompeii!!

Re: Italy!!

I loved the Cinque Terre, the cities were my favorite stop in Italy. If you have questions about Italy, Rick Steves Rick Steves site has a website and show on public television and has awesome tips on Italy. Here's a great description of the five cites:

Eighteen kilometers of sheer rocky coastline in northern Italy, terraced hills and vineyards sloping steeply down to the sea. Five little villages are built into the rocks between the beach and the hills. You can hike, swim, drink red wine, and watch blazing Mediterranean sunsets away from the tourist throngs in the Italian cities and the French Riviera. Centuries old footpaths and mule tracks wind about 500 to 1,000 feet above the sea, leading through olive groves and vineyards, orchards and chestnut woods.
Each village has its own character, they are a few minutes apart by train.
There are almost no cars as the villages are not easily accessible by road, but the main railway between Rome and Paris runs along the coast, mainly in tunnels.
