Hello, my wife and I area going to be arriving Rome on June 29th and will have 2 weeks to explore Italy. This is the first time for both of us. We are both HUGE foodies, so I think we chose the right country.
Our plan is to spend a couple of nights in Rome then take the train to Venice for a 2 nights. From there, rent a car and drive to Bologna, Modena, Parma and finally sleep in Monterossa, Cinque Terra for 3 nights. From there, we will head to Forte De Marmi for 2 nights then off to Florence for 4 nights. On our way to Florence, we will be stopping by to see Viareggio and Lucca but will only be passing by. Lastly, we will move from Florence to Siena while on our way to Rome for our final 2 nights.
Three Questions:
1. Are we crazy?
2. Is driving from Venice-Rome with all the stops efficient or should we drop off the car in Florence then continue by bus or train? Our concern is carrying our luggage and still stopping to sight see in Siena.
3. PARKING - This is also a big concern in all cities I mentioned.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Issa
