I’m biased, Martha, but I do think traveling independently (i.e. planning your own trip rather than going with a tour) can be more rewarding. It does require more planning work, of course but I think that’s part of the fun. It all depends on your own comfort level, with traveling solo, doing all the planning, etc. – if you’ll get to Italy either way, that’s a good thing!

Hi Jessica,

I’m a 56 yo woman who will be traveling by myself and taking my first big trip by myself. Just when I think I’ve decided I need an escorted tour, along comes your website. I hope to be going in May. What do you think about going by myself vs. going with a group? Btw, really good info on Rome, Florence, and Venice, which will help me plan my free time if I decide to go with a group. Thanks!

I actually used this very website for all the train information. The prices may have changed since the last time I updated the article, but you can search for tickets (often at a discount if purchased online in advance) here: http://www.italylogue.com/train

VERY helpful article! This is almost our exact Italy itinerary so this helped us get the nitty gritty details down. What train/website did you use to price out the above train rides? Thank you!

I went to Puglia in October and it was wonderful! Although the season ends in September we still enjoyed warm weather. But yes, some hotels and restaurants were closed already and the sea was pretty chilly. The advantage: You don’t get too many tourists and the prices are seasonably low.

If you have freedom to plan I suggest a two week roundtrip either in spring or autumn. Summer is hot and very busy. Puglia offers great landscapes, picturesque cities and splendid masserie (former country houses turned into luxury hotels).

This site is only about Italy travel, so you’ll only find Italy information here. There are, however, other WhyGo sites dedicated to other countries. Here’s WhyGo France, where you’ll find all kinds of France travel tips and itineraries:

WhyGo Portugal is newer, but there’s some information there that may help you:

Thank you.

I have Rome, Florence, Siena, Cinque Terre, & Venice on my 2-week itinerary above, so I definitely don’t think it’s too much to include Venice in a 2-week trip like that – unless, of course, you’d rather do the Amalfi Coast instead. If you prefer to visit the Amalfi, I’d suggest that you take a look at this 3-week itinerary article:

http://www.italylogue.com/planning-a-trip/3-week-italy-itinerary-italys-greatest-hits.html

It’s not the correct timeframe for you, obviously, but it will give you an idea of the transportation time to the Amalfi Coast from Rome. It’s a long travel day, so you need to make sure you know how long it takes before you commit to it – especially because it may impact how long you want to stay once you get there!
