    hi. Myself and my partner have just booked nearly 3 weeks in Italy this Summer. We fly into Bergamo on July 9th. Have booked accomodation for that night. After that- we have no plans what so ever. We are flying out of Sicilly on 29th july. Anyone any ideas on what to do/ where to go? Should we rent a car or would public transport be an option (would kinda like to see the country side though)? We hope to camp a lot enroute. Do we need to book campsites in advance or can we just roll up and hope for the best on the day? What about ferries to Sicilly? Whats our best option? Gosh we really havent thought this through, have we??? Any advice appreciated.....

    You're more or less on the A4, which means that with a car you have rapid access right across Northern Italy. On the other hand, you could (with a bit of effort) use the train to get yourself along the route from Milan-Venice, but you'll find public transport a bit weaker in some areas (bus routes are not so great off the main routes).

    Me, I'd say go for the car. You're near Lake Maggiore, which I'm not familiar with but which comes highly recommended. You're not far from Lake Garda, which I recommend, and from there it's a relatively short hop to get a look at Verona and Venice.

    It's a great place to visit, really is.

    Go for the car, then you can travel freely. Don't forget to drive down Amalfi Drive... amazing. And don't believe that driving in Italy is scary - the Italians are fast and furious but they are safe :)
