Where to Go in Italy
On this first trip to Italy you will visit the Hill Towns of Tuscany first to ease your way into the dolce vita way of life. From there to Venice, surrounded by water and rich in culture, mystery and charm. Then to Cinque Terre, five (cinque) tiny villages clinging to the rocks on the northwestern coast of Italy. Here the best way to travel about will be by water, of course. When you are in one of the villages, your main views will be out to sea. But from the comfortable water taxis, you will have the delight of full views of each of the five villages and you travel about among them. You will travel around Italy by train. Train travel in Italy is its own adventure and part of the pleasure.
You will save Florence for last with its fantastic tales of intrigue, its incomparable art and architecture, cathedrals and gardens, markets and cafés. And its remarkable food and wine… and gelato.
