Transportation

Transportation in Italy is well-connected, and you can travel easily by train, car, or bus. Train travel is extensive, efficient, and relatively cheap. You can book tickets in advance online to save time and money. However, if you plan to visit remote areas or the countryside, renting a car is the best option. One important thing to consider is the traffic and parking, especially in the cities. Cabs are readily available, but they can be expensive. Lastly, getting around by foot is the best option for getting around the city centers and historical sites.

Travel costs and travel times vary depending on your destination and mode of transportation. Ensure you set aside enough money and time for your travels during your honeymoon trip to Italy.

Useful tips

If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the beautiful island of Sicily, home to Mount Etna and stunning beaches. Alternatively, Venice is a perfect city for spending more than one day. You can explore the city's many canals and bridges, visit more museums and art sites, and take a day trip to nearby islands. When it comes to activities to reduce, we suggest taking fewer wine tours if you believe 1 or 2 would suffice. Renting a car is great for moving across the countryside; unnecessary for days spent in the city centers. Instead of trekking in Cinque Terre or Amalfi Coast, you can take a boat trip or relax on the beaches.

Airports

The main international airports in Italy are Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) in Rome, Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) in Milan, and Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) in Venice. All airports have connections to the city centers by train or public transport. Naples International Airport (NAP) is located in Naples and is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. It has connections to the city by bus, taxi, or train. Alternatively, you can fly to Florence Airport (FLR) or Pisa International Airport (PSA) for easier access to Tuscany and Cinque Terre.
