My wife and I did a northern Italy trip in 2017. Everything you recommended I will second as a good itinerary. I would add something though if you are in reasonably good shape (not an athlete by any means though). Go to Lucca and take a bike ride to Pisa. It was relatively cheap and best of all, it was nearly all flat or downhill. You didn't have to worry about bringing the bikes back either! We rode there, left the bikes, and hopped a train back to Lucca. One of my favorite parts of our trip to Italy!

I was in Venice for two nights back in April, my hot tip: stay just off the island in Mestre within walking distance from the train station. Then get yourself a vaporetto pass for however many days you are there. You can take any bus in the area including the one that goes directly to Venice, then hop on the water taxi to wherever you want to go including the outlying islands where it's a hell of a lot less touristy. 😎🥃

Great vlog, guys. I've bookmarked it for friends in case they're considering going back to Italy. Personally, I'm a big fan of Milan, Treviso, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast. As for Venice, one can stay in Treviso and take the train. Plus, Treviso is very chilled and not with crowds of people. The regular train only takes 25 minutes to Venice and the faster train around 15 minutes. I went to Venice, two days in a row, but from Treviso where I was staying. And after the crowds in Venice, I was always happy to get back to Treviso. I've been to Treviso more than once.

Thanks for the video. You are great travellers and generous in explaining everything and showing what's possible for us budget travellers. May I suggest if you are making more suggested itinerary videos that you focus on economical, slow travel, which is more your brand. Milan, Florence, Rome and Venice are crazy expensive stereotypical itineraries for first timers. I'd expect many of your viewers have already been once and would have preferred experienced traveller itinerary hacks. Tips like stay in Padua a fully underrated and great value gem of a city and catch the first train 20 min to Venice before the crowds arrive. Also, give Sicily a miss until the White Lotus effect subsides. Minimise nights in Rome and Florence in favour of Bologna, where tourists are actually made to feel welcome. Stay in one of the less famous villages on lake Como such as Menaggio. Also, don't make the whole itinerary a whistle-stop tour, stay in one place in an apartment for a full week, self cater using the awesome Italian grocery stores - Ortisei in the Dolomites is my recommendation. These are just what comes to my mind.

I had changed my Greece trip to Italy and had 9 days planned, flying in and out of Rome. My priority was going to be Renaissance art, so the Vatican and Florence were going to be the focus, but I was going to see a lot more. For various reasons, not the least of which was a lack of faith in the ability of my knees to handle what would be involved but not only that, my plans changed to Hawaii. I would still love to make the Italy trip someday. My first memories in life, admittedly possibly manufactured from family stories, are of Venice when I was 3 when my family made a trip to Venice from Germany. Great suggested itineraries.

No one is talking about the Dolomites! 😊 I’m a self proclaimed beach-lover, but I loved the Dolomites and can’t wait to go back. We stayed in Val Gardena and would highly recommended it.
