Venice Or Florence Or Rome
The tour provides balance between structured group activities and time to explore independently.
Venice or florence or rome. That being said if you have at least 5 full days on the ground in italy not including travel days. If so chances are good you ve been told to visit the big three rome venice and florence. If naples tivoli the amalfi coast mount vesuvius or pompeii are calling your name rome is a great jumping off point to reach them. Florence is almost entirely about the renaissance and because the historic center is so small it seems more crowded than rome.
And with good reason because these three cities have incomparable history culture cuisine and charm. Venice because it s unique and rome because it s so diverse. Tuscany and its capital of florence is a good halfway ish point between rome and venice and usually operates as the stop between the two on a traditional first trip to italy. After spending a few days in rome we are trying to decide whether to visit venice or florence for a few days obviously both would be ideal but budget and time restricts us from doing this.
Conversely florence could be used as a jumping off point to reach emilia romagna veneto including verona and venice milan and cinque terre. I suggest venice and rome. In fact it s impossible to choose just the best when each is so uniquely beautiful. We are in our mid 30s and are very much interested in sight seeing good food and wine romantic resturaunts and scenic walks.
It doesn t much matter which you go to first. If you can coordinate it maybe spend one day in venice but i wouldn t spend anymore time there. Venice florence and rome are each filled to the brim with charm art architecture incredible cuisine shopping and unique neighborhoods to explore. Florence was great but rome was spectacular.
Venice is very neat to see but can easily be done in a.
