Italy help

Want to spend 2 weeks in Italy this summer for annviersary with another couple.

Totally lost and don't know where to start? Not sure if we want to do a tour thing or on our own... thinking on our own so we can do our own thing.

Want to hit....

Rome
Flroence
Venice
Almafi Coast- Tuscany- Capri- Lake Como

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Italy help

We went to the following places (alone, not on a tour) and wouldn't change a thing:

Rome

Tuscany (Montelpulciano) -- while we were there, we took day trips to Pisa, Siena, Florence, Milan, etc.

Cernobbio (1 minute from Como) -- while there, we drove to Lugano, Switzerland which was only like a ten minute drive and totally worth it. If you go to this area, I suggest renting a boat for a while...

Cinque Terre (Do NOT miss this)

Venice

We wanted to do Almafi too but there's only so much you can squeeze into one trip. We plan to do southern Italy next time we go. Have fun! Italy is beautiful!


ETA: There have been several posts on this site and LIW about Italy. I'm sure you'll find it helpful to do a search.
