Cruise ships banned (again…..)

We are flying into Rome/Fum, Airport on 25 Sep 2021 and would like to be driven to Venice. Returning (for a cruise) out of ROME (CIVITAVECCHIA) 28 Sep 2021. Let me know how/where to find someone to drive us. 2 People, 6 Bags.. Maybe someone would like to share the ride both ways (who are also taking a cruise)? Steve/Jan, 60, Palm Coast, FL

Has the cruise port opened up to cruises? We are planning on taking an October cruise out of here.

Hey there. We are planning a trip to Italy (and Paris) next June. We are bringing our DDs, first timers to Europe, ages 21 and 16. I’ve been reading through itineraries, guide books, youtube videos of Italy and getting so excited. We have limited time (only 10 nights in Italy) and we are packing in A LOT I know. We are considering using Zicasso or another company to make the most of our time, especially since we are trying to do so much...Here’s our latest itinerary so far.

Hi all,

Hope you could help me with this little dilemma. I have also posted in the Venice Forum.

I am currently planning a trip to Venice with a friend at the end of September for three days. Both have never been to Venice, I have been to Florence on a day trip from Rome in February years ago, and despite the rain, liked it a lot. My friend has never been. The question is now, do I stay all three days in Venice or take one day to visit Florence? Please list pro's and con's. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the cheapest way (and how much) to get from Marco Polo Airport to the cruise terminal.

Hello and thanks in advance. We are going on a cruise in October that does not have enough Italy so want to fly over Early (6-7 days) and get a VRBO or Air BnB and take day trips and do day experiences.. Do you think we will be ok? If we book tours will we be able to navigate getting to where they meet? Will we make out ok in grocery stores? DO they have or do we need Uber or something similar? Are there areas to look for or avoid when seeking housing?Any suggestions or tips of things to do or day tours from Naples would be appreciated- especially ones you have done. Thanks so much- I know I have asked a lot of questions..any answers to any questions greatly appreciated.

PS. We have been to Tuscany area before and some other cities so decided to base here. Might be interested in a cooking experience one day if anyone wants to guide us on that as well

My family and I will (hopefully) be traveling to Italy this holiday season. Doing five nights of skiing in Cortina (The Cristallo) and then on to Venice for a long weekend and New Years Eve. We are trying to decide between The Danieli and The Gritti Palace. Any advice? It's my husband and I with our two children 11&9. We will need some kind of adjoining room situation and I can't tell from the website if either hotel offers that.

I am the organiser of our school ski trip and we are off skiing in Italy feb 2022.

We have a day to fill before our flights on the last day and there is the option of coming into Venice for 3-4 hours.

I was wondering how easy it is to get street food in Italy (not time to sit and eat) and how much would it approximately cost to get a drink and some pizza?

Would you recommend flying from Venice to Naples, taking a train or driving and stopping 1/2 way for a few nights in Tuscany (our original plan).

We fly into Venice for a few nights and then out of Naples. Originally was planning on spending 1/3 of our trip in Venice, 1/3 in Tuscany area and 1/3 around Amalfi Coast. Now I'm leaning towards longer time in Venice to day trip and longer time in AC area.

Hi,

We are scheduled to fly from the US to Rome, travel within Italy to Venice and Sorrento. We are fully vaccinated. Aside from safety our question is: are the museums, restaurants, tours expected to be open or has diminished tourism forced a reduction in available attractions? Has anyone recently returned from Italy and how was the testing/re-entry process? We are scouring the online resources but find fellow travelers' information to be the most helpful. Thank you!
