Tips

If you wish to extend your stay, consider adding a day in the Swiss Alps (e.g., a day trip to Mont Blanc) or a leisurely day on the Italian Riviera. To shorten the trip, you can combine Naples and Amalfi in a half‑day excursion and omit the Venice day‑trip, reducing the total to 6‑7 days while staying within the budget.
