What to see in Italy?

What are the best cities to see in Italy?

  • If I had about 10 days, which cities would you recommend/advise not to see? Is it better to stay in just Northern Italy and save Southern Italy and the islands for another trip?

  • Answer:

    "Best" really depends on your particular interests and when you'll be coming to Italy. However, with a ten day trip, I would advise you not to try to cover too much or you'll spend all your time in transit and get to do very little. If you've never been to Italy, then there's a lot to see and do in the bigger cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice. You can also use any of these as a base for some interesting day trips too. For example, from Rome, you could get to Pompeii for a day. Tivoli and Orvieto are interesting possibilities too. From Florence, it's an easy train ride to Pisa to see the tower and then on to Lucca for the rest of the day. Siena would be another great choice as would Arezzo. Padova, Verona or Treviso are good day trips from Venice. There are lots of local festivals during the year that might make one of the cities more interesting. This year, the Biennale will be running in Venice. There are art installations all over the city with the main exhibitions in the Giardini and around the Arsenale. Or the Il Redentore celebration in July is very good. Florence has the explosion of the Cart for Easter. If you time things right you can even get a photo of the "dove" flying out of the Duomo and setting off the fireworks.

Ehy :P I'm Italian (so I'm sorry if i'll write bad) My favourite italian cities are Rome (it's the best city and very spectacular)... but if you want to enjoy yourself you must go in Ravenna, Venice or Milan (the last one is very bad to visit, but is full of entertaisnements)... and if you like Earth, you must visit the south of Italy; there are a lot of fantastic places (like Matera, Palermo or Naples)... I hope that you'll have a great time here :D.

I had a similar time in Italy and just focused on the northern area. I had a night in verona ( lovely) 2 in Venice ( too much time, 1 night is enough as its small), Bologna, 3 in Rome and Florence and 1 in montepulciano. This gave me some time in places like florence and rome to explore the area as I went on a day tour to Pompeii from rome and I took a train to Pisa ( about an hour from florence) and Lucca ( also about an hour from florence). It also gave me time to sightsee without excessive about travelling from A to B...although I did literally have a day of travelling from venice to montepulciano ( via florence and siena).
