Venice really only needs 1-2 days to see everything as its compact..its a lovely city (but the side streets are a bit creepy)

Florence is a definate must, its so pretty (but lots of people).

There is quite a bit to do there too and places around to visit.

eg Pisa is close by and town called Lucca is also worth a visit.

I stayed in a little town called Montepulciano, which is a hillside town in the Siena Region....its famous for its wine too apparently (but I didn't know that till I got there).

Its a nice escape and it has great views of the surrounding area.

Siena itself is lovely and is also worth a look....you can take a bus from Siena to Montepuliciano (or the train but you need to take a bus from Chuisi (or something spelt like that).

Answer 4

I would suggest traveling down the coast to Naples where you can catch a ferry to the beautiful island of Ischia.  I stayed there when I was in Italy.  They have beautiful beaches and lots of fun piano bars to go to at night.  I stayed at Poggio Del Sole, they have a fantastic restaurant there.  Definitely one of my favorite parts of my trip.

Answer 5

Don't know your budget but I recommend either the Torre di Bellosguardo Hotel ($$$) close but not downtown. If you wnat not the usual wien country try the Bolgheri on the coast south of Florence.

Answer 6

Tuscany and Emilia Romagna are great regions to visit!
