Transportation

Transportation between cities will be by train. We recommend buying the Eurail Italy Pass. It is valid for 3 to 10 days of train travel within a two-month period. It costs €148 for 3 days of travel for adults under 26, and €204 for adults over 26. Travel time and cost estimates included in itinerary are approximate and subject to change based on your mode of transportation.

Useful Tips

For an even more relaxed tour of Italy, consider spending more time in fewer places. Venice and Florence alone can take up a week. If you have more time, add a few more days on the Amalfi Coast, or simply spend more time wandering and soaking in the Italian countryside. If you have less time, consider cutting Pisa out of the itinerary.

Airports

The primary international airport in Italy is Rome’s Fiumicino Airport (FCO), about 40 km southwest of the city center. Another option is Milan’s Malpensa Airport (MXP), which is 50 km northwest of the city center.
