You can travel by train, car or flights while in Italy. If you decide to travel by train, the high-speed train network is an efficient and fast way to travel between cities. Expect a cost range of 20-100 EUR depending on the distance traveled. Taking taxis are expensive as compared to public transportation. It's recommended to check the schedules and book your tickets in advance to save time and money.
If you have more time, we recommend visiting the Tuscan countryside, like Pisa or Lucca. Alternatively, you can add southern destinations like the enchanting Isle of Capri, the charming town of Matera, and the regal Caserta Royal Palace. If your time is limited, you may skip some of the art museums or landmarks, but make it a point to enjoy the local cuisine and soak in the unique vibe of each city.
