Vaporetto or organised half‑day trip to see Murano glassmaking and Burano’s coloured houses; ferries run regularly but timetables change by season — allow 3–4 hours.
Take a morning class to learn tagliatelle or tortellini making, or join a guided food tour of the Quadrilatero; classes usually run in the morning and must be booked in advance.
Catch an afternoon train back to Florence (~1h) and visit the Accademia to see Michelangelo’s David (book timed tickets as galleries have limited entry).
Visit the Colosseum and surrounding ruins with a combined ticket (timed entry recommended) — sites typically open from early morning to late afternoon, but times vary seasonally.
World-class collections culminating in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; book timed-entry tickets in advance (museums usually open 9:00am–6:00pm, closed Sundays except last Sunday of the month).
Regional train to Pompeii Scavi station (~30 minutes); aim to be at the site as it opens to avoid the heat and big crowds (site usually opens ~9:00am).
Settle into your Amalfi base and explore Piazza Duomo and the nearby shops; many churches and shops have midday hours, so check individual opening times.
Short bus or taxi ride uphill to Ravello for garden views (Villa Rufolo/ Villa Cimbrone) or enjoy a relaxed walk along Amalfi’s seafront; opening times for villas vary seasonally.
Morning boat excursion to see the dramatic coastline, sea caves and Positano from the water; seasonal tours typically depart in the morning — book ahead.
Allow 2.5–3 hours for coach+ferry or private transfer to Naples (and onwards to Naples Airport); summer traffic and ferry timetables can add time so plan extra buffer.
Arrive at Naples station or airport for onward flights or train travel; if you have a later departure, consider a last lunch or a short Lungomare stroll (check flight/transfer times carefully).
