  • Days 1-2

    Rome and Vatican City

    Begin your week in Rome. Visit the Vatican Museums on day 2, arriving by 8:15 AM. Even with skip-the-line tickets, morning crowds grow quickly. A recent visitor shared: "The early Vatican tour was perfect. By the time we finished in the Sistine Chapel, the crowds were getting intense." Spend your afternoon exploring Trastevere, which comes alive after 6 PM when locals return from work.

    
  • Day 3

    Rome to Florence

    The high-speed train from Roma Termini to Florence takes 1.5 hours. Pick a seat on the right side for the best views of the Tuscan countryside. From Florence's Santa Maria Novella station, you can walk to most hotels. If staying across the Arno River, take a taxi with your luggage. Your first afternoon is perfect for discovering the less touristy Oltrarno district.

    
  • Day 4

    Tuscany Day Trip

    Visit the Chianti region, including Siena and San Gimignano. Pack layers for changing weather. Morning fog often lifts to reveal warm afternoons. Watch your step in Siena. The sloping Piazza del Campo requires good walking shoes on the medieval stones. You'll have lunch at a family vineyard, so keep breakfast light.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Venice

    The train ride to Venice takes 2 hours. Buy a vaporetto pass right at the station. Single tickets can get expensive. When visiting St. Mark's Basilica, leave bags at the nearby Ateneo San Basso. Get to the Bridge of Sighs early for photos before tour groups arrive.

    
  • Day 7

    Venice Departure

    Book your water taxi to Marco Polo Airport through your hotel the night before. Public boats take 1.5 hours while private water taxis take 30 minutes. For flights before 10 AM, plan extra time. Morning fog often delays water transport.

  • Days 1-2

    Venice

    Start your week in Venice. Take a 45-minute shared water taxi from Marco Polo Airport to your hotel. As one traveler noted: "Getting lost among Venice's canals is part of the experience - just follow signs to 'Rialto' or 'San Marco' to find your bearings again." Walk through Cannaregio early morning before the crowds fill the streets. Get a 24-hour vaporetto pass to explore the islands easily. For the best views of Venice, visit San Giorgio Maggiore Bell Tower instead of the busy St. Mark's.

    
  • Day 3

    Bologna

    Take a 2-hour high-speed train to Bologna. You'll find 45km of covered walkways perfect for exploring in any weather. Sign up for a pasta making class to learn how to make traditional tortellini. One participant shared: "Learning to make pasta from a local nonna was definitely a highlight." Book ahead to climb the leaning Asinelli Tower. Visit the Quadrilatero food market in the early morning when locals do their shopping.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Florence & Pisa

    Florence is just 30 minutes from Bologna by train. Start at the San Lorenzo leather market before walking to the Duomo. Book Uffizi Gallery tickets online for after 4pm when it's less crowded. Take a morning trip to Pisa (1-hour train) and see the Leaning Tower before the tour buses arrive. Back in Florence, head to Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset. Bring wine and get there 30 minutes early for a good spot.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Rome

    The train to Rome takes about 90 minutes. Visit the Colosseum early (it opens at 8:30am) to avoid crowds. A visitor noted: "The Roman Forum gets extremely hot midday - bring water and a hat if visiting May-September." Schedule Vatican Museums for 4pm or later when tour groups leave. Spend your final evening in Trastevere, where locals start dinner after 8pm.
