 |
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:27 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath no, just doing trains -- flying into rome and out of milan. would maybe rent a car for a side trip but doubt we have the time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523656) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:30 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit I would do 5 nights in Rome, 3 in Florence, 2 in Venice.
Milan is quite an interesting city in its own right but not nearly at the same level as the other two and since the international airport is way out of the city you don't need to go into the city. |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:33 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath yeah, i'm not planning to spend any real time in milan. we actually did two nights there this past march, when we got rained out on the back end of a mont blanc ski trip.
right now i'm leaning towards 4/3/3. |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:35 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit I'd go 5/2 Rome v Venice because I think there is so much more to see in Rome (and several good daytrips) than in Venice. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523673) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:41 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath hmm, i'll think about that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523686) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:42 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit Kind of depends what time you arrive and leave on the travelling days too. Two nights could be anything from only one full day to almost three. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523691) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:44 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath yeah. i think that will be the deciding factor. we've already got rome booked, but everything else is still pretty much up in the air (best thing about traveling in november vs say september). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523694) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:29 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit I wouldn't. He's probably going to spend 95% plus of his time in the three inner cities and the last thing you want or need is a car in an Italian city. Just go by train.
I wouldn't rent a car unless you were doing a driving holiday across the Italian countryside visiting lots of small towns and historical/scenic sites. Even then you need to be a reasonably confident driver able to cope with a stick shift and maniacal Italian drivers on narrow roads.
|
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:35 AM Author: Bull Headed Sanctuary I wouldn't rent a car there again either the tolls are pure rape (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523672) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:36 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit True especially after coming from Germany where its free or the countries where you can just buy one autobahn pass for unlimited driving during your stay. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523674) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:40 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath yeah, the highway tolls blew my mind last time i was over there. pretty great roads though. and <3 autogrill. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523683) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:41 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit You haven't driven till you've been on a good German autobahn on a quiet Sunday. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523687) |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:26 AM Author: appetizing chrome resort trust fund found that setting google maps to avoid tolls worked well. more scenic drives and no tolls. also automatically avoids the downtown no car areas in towns (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34530429) |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:31 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit What we used to do was set our lunchtime or end of day destination in the GPS and then just drive in that general direction taking whatever detours seemed interesting.
That way the GPS is always calculating the best legal route from where you are to your destination which is really helpful in Italian towns which are usually a maze of narrow, one-way and blocked off streets. |

Date: October 25th, 2017 4:37 AM Author: Bull Headed Sanctuary I found italy really boring and the people were awful. Everything is commoditized and sterile. Just way too much tourism. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523677) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:40 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit The main tourist sights are stupidly overcrowded during summer but by now they won't be so bad. And how can you go through life never having seen Rome? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34523682) |

|
Date: October 25th, 2017 4:42 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath the only touristy spot i've been to in italy was pisa, and i had a pretty good time for the four hours i was there.
(been to la spezia, cagliari, and salerno a bunch of times each. and milan once this year for a couple days.) |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:22 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath where did you go in italy? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34530395) |
|

Date: October 26th, 2017 12:26 AM Author: Multi-colored wine nursing home Rome is crowded because it's full of cool shit. I assume you have at least some level of interest in Roman history and medieval and Renaissance art, right? Otherwise LOL this may be a miserable vacay for you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34530431) |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:29 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath yeah, in rome will focus on mother church and old roman shit and drinking.
florence the usual art stuff, venice the usual |

Date: October 26th, 2017 12:30 AM Author: Multi-colored wine nursing home St. Peters is not the only church worth visiting in Rome. Make sure to check out St. John Lateran and Maria Maggiore. They're both old as shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34530464) |

Date: October 26th, 2017 12:33 AM Author: Sadistic Bat Shit Crazy Base Partner Learn basic Italian before you go. It's not hard and Italians are poor English speakers. It saved my ass a couple of times there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3774025&forum_id=2#34530505) |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:38 AM Author: fiercely-loyal saffron haunted graveyard public bath i took a half assed semester during college and did spanish in high school, so we usually get by in both italy and spain.
GF is near fluent in french though which is great when we're there. |
|
Date: October 26th, 2017 12:41 AM Author: Startling talented orchestra pit This reminds me of a funny story about my husband. When we go to Eastern Europe I usually do all the translating because I speak Slovenian fairly well (which means I can get the gist of other Slavic languages) and I did 6 years of German in school which is a very common second language there.
So when we go to France he's all "now I can translate because I did French in HS" and I ask "how many years?" and he says "two" and I respond "I did five years of French". LOL. |

buy a vaporetto pass. |
