To get around Italy, we recommend renting a car for a relaxing and scenic trip. Consider booking flights or ferry rides for longer distances between islands, and use public transportation or taxis within major cities. Estimated travel cost for a car rental and fuel is approximately 800 euros, while flights between islands and cities vary in price.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to Rome for a historical experience or Cinque Terre for more stunning coastal views. If you have less time, cut the visit to either Tuscany or Sicily, or skip a day trip in Milan.
