Introduction

There are several Italian cities that are worth visiting, but of course others are postcards of the country and it is impossible not to visit them! Today we are going to suggest the “considered” best itinerary when going to Italy for the first time. Better because in this itinerary you can visit the main cities and, the best, getting around by train, which is economical, fast and safe! Although the train makes travel a lot easier, it is worth remembering that Italy is quite extensive, that is: some places are not that close. Another important thing: know the name of the main cities in Italian! It will help you a lot! Read also Hiring Specialized Travel Consultancy for Italy: is it worth it?

After sixteen days of travel, it’s time to go back! From Naples, take the train to Rome and, from there, have a safe trip home!

Tip

  • Never want to get to know absolutely EVERYTHING at once! You will end up making the visits in a hurry and will end up not enjoying anything! So, before boarding, research what you really want to visit, so as you do not waste time, O.K.?! And another tip: leave it as an “excuse” or as “there was no time” to return to the boot country in a next opportunity! Another trip to Italy never hurts.
