Date: March 31st, 2018 10:54 PM Author: Trip Jew National I'm planning a vacation where I visit both SAN MARINO and MONACO, and these places are kinda inbetween (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3935282&forum_id=2...id.#35734363) |

Date: March 31st, 2018 11:00 PM Author: Apoplectic hairraiser fortuitous meteor leave out Turin and do the other 3 but Florence and Siena are just as much or even more "in between" than Milan and FAR better places to visit than Milan |

Siena is not on the main rail line the way the other places are, but I can consult the rail maps again to verify |

Siena may be awesome, but it's significantly out of the way for my trip
For SAN MARINO, I will be in Rimini. There is basically a straight line of high speed rail connecting Rimini to Bologna and Milan. From Milan, you can get to Monaco most directly via Genoa. |

also all I read about Genoa says its kind of a dump so maybe we just blow past it straight to Monaco |

Date: April 1st, 2018 12:00 AM Author: Amber Tripping Center Genoa is gritty and urban. If you like that kind of thing go spend a day there walking through the maze of the old city and eating pesto and those anise cookies the nuns make. If you like fancier shit go to Milan instead and shop and eat a nice dinner by the canals. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3935282&forum_id=2...id.#35734795) |

Date: April 1st, 2018 4:16 AM Author: Chocolate outnumbered quadroon This itinerary is kind of shitty and seems shrewy. Who tf cares about San Marino? Looks like you're racking up country visits.
Id stick to bologna maybe Verona. Pisa is a dump but you sound like a shrew so go get your selfie. Lucca is really lovely on the way to Pisa.
I actually find Turin interesting but Genoa is a typical Port dump. Nothing in Milan either.

Date: April 1st, 2018 10:40 AM Author: Maroon property associate Milan is probably best of those four cities if you have to choose. It can't compare to Florence/Venice/Rome but it's really nice and it feels more like a real modern city that people live in rather than a museum. If you go, get tickets to see Leonardo's Last Supper mural in advance (will likely have to be as part of some kind of tour), because you probably won't be able to get them on the day.
Also, why are you so focused on taking trains? You'd have way more fun if you rented a car. And why Monaco - there's nothing to do there except drink a $15 Heineken while looking at parked yachts. They don't even give you free drinks in the casino. The best thing to do in Monaco is leave to either France or Italy. |

Why not just go to a few more interesting Euro countries you haven't seen yet? I am going to Kosovo, San Marino, Malta and Andorra on a quick trip between NY and Paris.
