Best cities to visit in Italy?

Question

We are going to visit 2 cities in Italy this Summer and Rome is definitely going to be one of them. Any suggestions for the second one?

Florence, Venice, and Milan all sound great but it's so hard to choose just one!

Answer 1

sirmione

Answer 2

why don't you choose to go to the countryside near Florence and visit the city?  look at www.ariannandfriends.com

Answer 3

Positano, south of Naples, is my favorite place in Italy.  Its not a city, but shouldn't be missed if you are going to head to souuthern Italy.  Its a gorgeous, cliffside town, with delicious food and super-nice people.

Answer 10

Florence is beautiful. Also Rome and Venice.

Answer 11

Definitely Florence, just the dome itself is amazing, and don't leave without seeing Michelangelo's David. Also, you can't skip Rome, it is my favorite. if you like feeling like your're part of an ancient world, Rome is the place to be. It's an amazing city. I don't recommend Venice, it is very crowded, and other than a gondola ride and St Mark's square, its all a bunch of hotels and bridges and little shops.

Answer 12

Rome is way too touristie for me. One day in Rome is enough. Florence is fast paced and nuts. Sienna and Viterbo were real nice,but that's just my opinion.

Answer 13

milan no good

sicily wow wow wow

sea sun etc etc

Answer 14

I travelled to Italy last year and one of my favorite places was Verona.  The city was charming and the architecture was beautiful.  I loved seeing Juliet's balcony there.  I also agree with Misha that Lake Garda is a wonderful place.  I am from Ohio and sitting outside by the lake at an outside cafe in the sunshine was one of the highlights, and was great for people watching.  Have fun!

Answer 15

I would choose Florence of those mentioned, but I would rather see Cinque Terre (5 towns) on Amalfi Coast.

Answer 16

Don't bother with Milan. No offence to anyone from Milan, but from a tourist point of view it's over rated. I would also recommend Naples if you want to head south rather then north. It is not far from Rome, and you can take a trip from there to visit the ruins of Pompeii.

Venice however is something spectacular so that is a good one too,

Answer 17

Florence, Id say. Venice gets kinda crowded during summer. Milan is also beautiful...

well for me, one of the most beautiful place ive been to is the Lake Garda. The city. The mountains. The lake.The breeze.  It was just so beautiful.
