    I'm a frequent traveller and have been travelling on almost a constant basis for the last 5 years, 1 of those years spent living abroad (greatest idea I've ever had and would recommend it to anyone, really character building stuff!)

    Anyways, this summer I have 2 weeks to burn with the holidays, probably in July, and I was hoping to visit Italy as I've always wanted to visit, love the idea of their culture, history and food! If anyone has any suggestions of where to go in the space of 14 days and how to get to all of them at a reasonable cost then I'd love to hear them.....equally I'll take suggestions for other destinations!

    Cheers!

    theres so much to do in Italy youll have no bother filling 14 days.

    Id recommend venice (2days) to milan (2 days) to florence including Siena (3 days) to naples (2days) then to rome. (5days)


    You can get a 4 day rail pass for €149 that will get you from place to place cheaply compared to reguler fares.

    you should really include pompeii really worth the journey from rome.

    you could do pompeii from naples .

    If youre going to Milan book a ticket to the da vinci's Last Supper now. It sells out months in advance - i booked mine in april last year and got the last ticket for my day of visit in july :eek:

    i have been to venice & florence. Loved both of them. You could easily do train venice, florence & rome. Tuscany area can all be seen from florence.

    Check out www.trenitalia.com, it'll give you an idea of how much it is to get from one place to another. Train travel in Italy is inexpensive and very reliable. Just one thing though - the trains that are of train category 'R' are the 'regionale' trains and though they are very cheap, they do stop everywhere and can take a long time to get to their destination.
