Hilltop town help! 2 or 3 days which ones should we go to?

I would like to know if someone has updated transportation info going to Bagnoregio from either Viterbo or Orvieto. If someone also knows a reliable private driver will be great as well. I plan to do a day trip from Rome early September. Thank you.

Hi. I am hoping to visit Italy next year and I’m currently on the lookout for reasonable airfare for the end of March/beginning of April. Is this a pretty good time to come weather wise? Rome is a must do and there are several other places I’d like to see and I have to figure out a reasonable itinerary for 14 nights. Florence, Venice, Bergamo, CinqueTerre, Burano, Lucca, Orvieto, Amalfi Coast, San Gimignano are all on my wish list. This will be my and my husbands first trip overseas. I like culture and my husband likes the outdoors and hiking. I would like to also stay in a agroturismo during part of our stay. I think three full days in Rome would be good and the rest divided up perhaps between Florence, Cinque Terra and Orvieto might work? Perhaps flying in and out of Rome/Florence. Does this sound doable?

I won't be travelling for about a year, but I am already excited and thinking about a solo trip back to Italy. Ideally, I would like to start my vacation relaxing in the Tuscan or Umbria countryside. I am thinking outside of either Lucca or Cortona or anywhere in between. (I'm not fussy, I love the Italian countryside and am just looking for peace, hills and beauty so I know that could be anywhere!) And I would like to do this mainly by train, and without driving myself (I don't want to rent a car). So my initial question then is.... if I fly into Italy, take a train to the nearest small town to where I would be staying, is it expensive to get a taxi to drive maybe 20km or so to a location outside of that small town. Also, any recommendations on what small town country side I should focused on? I know it's not much to go on, but any advice would be appreciated!

I know this is a bit of a specific question but my husband and I will be in Pienza in early October for a week, and we love the idea of taking one afternoon for a picnic. We will be staying at an Airbnb a few mins outside of the main town of Pienza but will have a car and plan to drive around, visiting all the beautiful little towns, including Corona. I’m wondering if anyone has any favorite picnic locations that you especially love, since options seem to be endless for beautiful spots to pick from. And also, if you have a favorite market we could go to to pick up our snacks and drinks (breads, cheeses, fruits, maybe some dessert - no meat though since we are vegetarians), I would love to hear suggestions!

Hi, where can you find the classic panoramic view with all towers of San Gimignano? Is there any viewpoint outside the town on top of a hill or something? Please let me know!

Looking to possibly (Covid depending obviously) go in October I know it's out of season but is the town nice? Haven't visited this part of Italy before so any information the area would be great, would rather avoid hiring a car if possible.

I will be arriving into Nice in the middle of September. I have a month and will spend 10-12 days in Northern Italy and the rest in France.

My plans are to go to Verona first and then the Dolomites as I think the weather should be better at the end of Sept. Thinking 1/2 nights in Verona, then 4 nights in the Dolomite area-suggestions welcome. Maybe an airbnb and do day hikes? We will have a car.

Then make our way back to Nice stopping in the Piedmont area-again suggestions of a location not in a busy town to make day trips? Maybe also a couple of days in Turin?

Our interests are hiking, history, food and wine.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello,

We are spending about 10 days in Garda and would like some input about not to miss towns around the lake. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

We are scheduling a 1-month trip to Italy in August, including the below spots.

While we will of course make advance bookings for rooms according to our itinerary, we are interested to learn whether there are any additional things you highly recommend booking in advance. (e.g., Last Supper in Milan, scooters in Tuscany, ...)

Of course we realize this depends a lot on what we will do exactly, but that is something we are still planning over the next weeks. Therefore, any suggestions on 'what to definitely book in advance' for the below destinations would already be very much appreciated.

- Milan

- Cinque Terre

- Pisa (optionally also Lucca, both on the way to Siena)

- Tuscany (incl. Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Chianti, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Saturnia ; no Firenze as we've been there before)

- Bologna (night stop on the way to Venice)

- Venice

- Verona (night stop on the way to Como)

- Como

Additionally, any additional comments / tips on the itinerary above are of course also very much appreciated.

Thank you,

TraVeL

Hoping to spend 10-14 nights in Tuscany next April for the wife’s 50 birthday. We’re flying into Pisa and hiring a car. Been to northern Italy plenty of times but this will be our first trip to Tuscany. I’m really just looking for ideas where best to stay 2-4 nights in each place. Small villages, picturesque towns. No big cities. If people just shout out a few towns I’ll take a look and work out our itinerary.
