Rome vs. Florence.. which would you spend more days in?
I have 5 nights to divide up between the two..
Which city should I do 3 nights in and which should I do 2 nights in?
Which has better side trips to take and might need an extra day to do them?
TIA!

I agree. Florence is gorgeous but Rome is larger with a bit more stuff to see.

I agree also. When I went to Italy our trip actually only had one day in Florence and 4 in Rome and it was perfect. Rome is really large with many things to see and you need extra time.

Re: Rome vs. Florence.. which would you spend more days in?
I agree too! 3 Rome, 2 Florence. Rome has more sights to see, Florence has fewer sights but is still great for shopping and going out!

we did 3 days Rome, 2 days florence and I wish I cut off a day in amsterdam to have another day in florence...that's a tough choice! But I'd go with 3 and 2.

Re: Rome vs. Florence.. which would you spend more days in?
I agree with the above posters - 3 in Rome and 2 in Florence.
Something to consider, though. Do you mean 5 calendar days? If so, I would do days 1-3 in Rome, leave at night on day 3 on the express train to Florence so that on days 4 & 5 you can explore Florence.
And I think there's enough in each of these two cities that you won't really need to do side trips. If you had an extra day, I would side trip to Siena for a very old world feel, but with only 5 days, I would not split it with another place.
Enjoy! I think about the trip I took there just about every day! Wonderful memories, beautiful places!!!

I actually liked Florence a LOT better than Rome, but there is more stuff to see in Rome. Are you taking a train or flying? You can always do 2 1/2 in each!

Rome has more to see and is more spread out so I would stay there longer
