How many days are enough when you plan a trip to Italy? The flights aren’t too long and there’s no jet lag to contend with, so it’s possible to do Italy in a week. But if you’re planning the perfect Italy trip, a 10 to 14-day itinerary allows you to explore multiple regions. Start with the classics like Rome, Florence, and Venice, of course. But also consider adding a few days in the Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre too. If northern Italy appeals to you, an itinerary including Milan, Lake Como, and perhaps a side trip to the Italian Alps could be worthwhile too.
To get the best slice of La Dolce Vita, you’ll want to make time for some quintessential Italian experiences like wine tastings in Tuscany, a food tour in Bologna, or a private tour of the Vatican Museums to get a deeper understanding of Italian culture. You can plan and book these in advance to make sure you get the experiences you want, and booking skip-the-line or guided tickets can also help you save time and squeeze in a little more to your Italian itinerary.
