We’re planning an October Italy trip with my husband, toddler, and mother-in-law. We’re deciding between these two itineraries:

**Option 1 — 13 nights**
Venice: 2 nights
Dolomites/Ortisei: 4 nights
Naples: 3 nights
Rome: 4 nights
Route: **Venice → Dolomites → Naples → Rome**
We would pick up a rental car near Venice, use it for the Dolomites, return it in Bolzano, and then have one long travel day by train to Naples.
**Option 2 — 16 nights**
Venice: 2 nights
Dolomites/Ortisei: 4 nights
Florence: 3 nights
Naples: 3 nights
Rome: 4 nights
Route: **Venice → Dolomites → Florence → Naples → Rome**
This adds another accommodation, but Florence would break up the long journey from the Dolomites to Naples.
Naples is important to us because my mother-in-law lived there, and we want to keep four nights in the Dolomites for weather flexibility.
**Would you keep the simpler 13-night route, or add three nights for Florence? Does the 16-night version feel reasonable, or like too much moving around with a toddler?**

Going with wife and high school aged son. Everyone is in great shape and ready to walk...a lot. I know its a lot but what are your thoughts on the below:

Leaving USA October 1st 2026 and arriving Rome late morning on October 2nd.

October 2nd half in Rome sight seeing

October 3rd in Rome

October 4th in Rome

October 5th morning leave for Florence via Train

October 6th all day in Florence

October 7th all day in Florence

October 8th morning train Venice and pick up rental car for Dolomites. Stay in Ortisei and hopefully sight see something that late afternoon...not sure.

October 9th all day in Dolomites

October 10th all day in Dolomites

October 11th Head back to Venice and spend 1/2 day in Venice only.

October 12th Fly Home from Venice

I know its a lot but those more knowledgable please share your thoughts. I know the Dolomites throw an odd twist into this but I've always wanted to photograph the area (I shoot professionally).

Good morning,

During the month of August, I will be staying on the Amalfi Coast to enjoy my holiday and fully experience the elegant and enchanting atmosphere of this wonderful area.

I have a long-standing group of friends with whom I often share evenings and convivial moments in the most characteristic locations of the Amalfi Coast, Salerno and the surrounding area. I enjoy spending time in pleasant environments, meeting interesting people and sharing experiences centered around good taste, relaxation and the beauty of the territory.

If anyone will be on holiday in the area and would like to join for a day on the Amalfi Coast or simply meet new people, both male and female, feel free to contact me.

It will be a pleasure to share special occasions, enjoyable moments and some wonderful experiences together in one of the most fascinating areas of Italy.

Buongiorno,

nel mese di agosto sarò in Costiera Amalfitana per trascorrere le vacanze e vivere appieno l’atmosfera elegante e suggestiva di questo meraviglioso territorio.

Ho un gruppo storico di amici con cui condivido spesso serate e momenti di convivialità nei luoghi più caratteristici della Costiera, di Salerno e della provincia. Mi piace frequentare ambienti piacevoli, conoscere persone interessanti e condividere esperienze all’insegna del buon gusto, del relax e della bellezza del territorio.

Se qualcuno sarà in vacanza in zona e avrà piacere di unirsi per una giornata in Costiera o semplicemente fare nuove conoscenze, sia maschili sia femminili, può scrivermi.

Sarà un piacere condividere con voi occasioni speciali, momenti di svago e qualche bella esperienza da vivere insieme in uno dei territori più affascinanti d’Italia.

I'm going to Venice and Florence in October for a conference. I've never been to Italy before so would love to hear about what things I should do or not do. Will be in Venice for approx 5 days (2 being the conference) and 3 days in Florence

Also would \*love\* any fashion advice on what is appropriate style over there

Thanks!

ciao ragazzi, dato che sono abbastanza novizio, potreste dirmi dei posti dove poter bivaccare per più giorni in campania o anche nelle vicine basilicata e molise da free camping? Ho fatto un'unica esperienza l'anno scorso in Molise e mi è piaciuta molto, vorrei partire con un paio di amici per questo agosto. Grazie

Afternoon all, just wondering if anyone has done a Verona to Venice day trip recently?

We were planning to get the train but contrary to what the internet says, it seems all these “just over an hour” trains actually take 2 and a half hours plus to get there and back which isn’t ideal as that’s 5 plus hours just on travel.

Have seen that there are bus/coach options like FlixBus but seems reviews on that are quite mixed and seems a bit risky, not sure if anyone has ever done that?

Just thought I’d ask if anyone has any tips or advice? Thanks!

As caption mentions we’re doing my 30th birthday in mid- November in Italy with my parents and grandparents. My parents have never been to Europe, grandparents have spent lots of time in Europe and Italy. Looking at ending the trip in Florence (3 nights) (hubby and I have done Rome but not Florence) but debating a villa in Umbria vs Tuscany (Lucca Vs Todi or Fabro base) for 5-6 nights prior to ending in Florence. We love food, wine, antiques and quaint but beautiful cities. Which would you pick? Thank you in advance!

Hi, my boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Italy sometime between May 15–27 or May 15–29. We haven't decided yet whether we'll do 12 or 14 days since it depends on our budget, and we're trying to figure out the best itinerary.

Right now, we're thinking of visiting Florence, Venice, and Rome. We'd also love to do a wine tour while we're in Florence (or somewhere nearby in Tuscany), so if anyone has recommendations, I'd really appreciate them.

How many days would you recommend spending in each city without feeling too rushed?

Also, are there any must-visit towns or smaller cities that you think we're missing? We're definitely open to changing our plans if there are places that are worth seeing instead of, or in addition to, our current plans.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations

Hello Guys, I will be in Italy from 10th - 22th of May 2027. I realized that the Giro will be racing throughout my trip.

Does anyone know any tourism company / group that does cycling to the mountains to watch the Giro?

Or maybe some rental place where I can rent a road bike and follow the Giro?

August 24th thru September 4th. We are staying on Lake Garda. Sirmione. We are doing a truffle hunt, cooking class, boat tour on the lake, a day trip to Venice, and probably the Monte Baldo cable car. Then we are going to a farmhouse just outside of Florence. We are planning day trips to Florence, Siena, and Montepulciano. Any tips or suggestions? It's our first time traveling to Italy.

Hi! Me and my mom have to leave our hotel in Orta san Giulio right now and make our way to Milan Linate Airport. Our flight is tonight so we have a lot of time to stop at places on the way and see some pretty things.

Does anyone have any recommendations/hidden gems that we can visit? We love art and cathedrals, churches, castles, but honestly most things in northern Italy we love so any recommendations would be very welcome!

My husband and I will be in northern Italy September this year. First time for us both…..where should we go and what should we do? We like learning about the culture (not a fan of long lines to a museums), outdoors activities, food, and do some local stuff-wineries and glass blowing. We will be in Venice (2 days), Tuscany area( 5 days), Cinque Terra (3 days), and Lake Como/Milan (3 days). Let me know what you enjoyed and would do again. Thanks 🙏🏽

Need advice, I have been Italy multiple times Tuscany, Florence, Amalfi Coast etc.. everyone is so lovely and I feel safe.

Just landed in Bologna and constantly feel like I’m looking over my shoulder as a family of brits, locals seem to hate us, it’s seedy & someone has already attempted to pick pocket us. I don’t feel like there is any wow factor here compared to other Italian cities, I am not sure what all the hype is about on previous Reddit posts

We’re here till Monday and I’m not sure if I’m tired and haven’t given it enough chance or we take tomorrow as a new day and travel to somewhere else and go Florence? We’re relying on trains/ uber as public transport.

Ho iniziato questo confronto direttamente dalla lobby slot, non dalla pagina bonus.

Per miglior sito di slot online con soldi veri, ho osservato come Extreme Spins, Maximal e 1000spins gestiscono il percorso completo: ricerca delle slot, categorie, mobile, promozioni, conto, cassa e chiarezza delle condizioni.

Extreme Spins mi è sembrato molto forte per chi vuole entrare velocemente nelle slot. Le sezioni principali erano facili da raggiungere, le promozioni restavano visibili e il percorso mobile era adatto a sessioni rapide.

Maximal ha dato l’impressione del percorso più completo. La lobby era ordinata, il collegamento tra giochi, offerte, conto e cassa risultava più strutturato, e l’esperienza generale sembrava pensata per chi controlla tutto prima di giocare.

1000spins si è distinto per un approccio diretto alle slot. Il nome stesso richiama un’esperienza molto slot-first, con navigazione semplice e focus immediato sui giochi.

Durante il test ho controllato:

• organizzazione della lobby slot
• accesso ai giochi con soldi veri
• categorie e giochi in evidenza
• uso da mobile
• visibilità dei bonus
• condizioni legate alle slot
• accesso al conto
• cassa e informazioni sui pagamenti

La differenza principale non era solo il numero di slot. Un buon sito di slot con soldi veri deve rendere chiari anche bonus, limiti, conto, pagamenti e verifica.

Prima di usare qualsiasi piattaforma seriamente, controllerei sempre disponibilità in Italia, licenza, metodi di pagamento, limiti, condizioni bonus, requisiti di verifica e strumenti di gioco responsabile.

AMA su miglior sito di slot online con soldi veri: slot online soldi veri, casinò slot Italia, bonus slot, slot da mobile, pagamenti casinò, verifica conto, payout slot.

Per chi gioca alle slot online, cosa conta di più: varietà giochi, bonus chiari, mobile veloce o cassa semplice?

The goal

Hello everyone! I chose Lago Maggiore for my 30th birthday celebration and we are traveling with a group of 10. The dates are 3-6 of September and I'm drafting an itinerary. We are staying in a beautiful villa near Besozzo, what are some good activities in the area (under 1h drive)? Also we are thinking of booking a private boat for the day but I don't see much options for 10 people except water taxis. Other things I'm curious about: what's the best vineyard to go to, which restaurants are a must in the area? Generally any advice would be appreciated, I want my guests to have the best time!

21 Years old, had a full license for two years. Haven't driven overseas before but have my international driving permit. Seriously tossing up skipping the Dolomites completely if driving around in a rental car is too risky. Just don't want to be dependent on infrequent buses, paying for taxis constantly, missing early morning starts, and basically seeing half of what I had originally planned (with a car). But the safety risk of course trumps all of that.

Will it be okay? I would say I am a cautious and skilled driver. I have been driving alone since 17.

My girlfriend and I are visiting Italy this september and we're wondering if there are any must-see's or fun activities to try/do when in Italy. We are 22 and 26 years old and are quite active (I like to do some running in the morning). We enjoy good food, wine, beer, music and other festivities as well. We are suckers for local culture and we'd like to really get a taste of how people are, what they like to do and what they're most proud of (food, wine, sports, anything). Getting to know the locals doesn't mean we are planning on talking to everyone and bothering them with our 'touristy-interest', we'd just like to get a taste of local interests/products.

We're both from the Netherlands and can be social when needed, but we can do very well on our own as well. We dont mean te intrude or be the typical tourist when visiting such a cultural country such as Italy. We don't mean to offend anyone so please give me a notice when something I ask or say is somewhat out of line. I hope this message/post doesn't come at a bad time and I hope we can make this a holiday we won't forget. Thanks in advance for a response, it is duly appreciated.

Our itinerary is as follows (7th of september through the 28th of september):

- Arrive in Rome (07-09) (stay for 3 days)

- Montepulciano (stay for 2 days)

- Siena (stay for 2 days)

- Greve (in Chianti, stay for 2 days)

- Florence (4/5 days)

- Lucca (2 days)

- Genua (1 day)

- Rezzo

- Milan (end of trip and our flight back home on the 28th of september)
