4 cities, 12 days. Florence, Sienna, Positano, Rome


Sorry to hijack.

GynoSandberg,

We're thinking of a similar trip for our honeymoon (most likely late September 2019). I am thinking fly into Florence, get to Siena. 2 nights in Siena, 2 nights in Tuscan countryside, 2 nights Florence, high speed train down Naples, get to Amalafi Coast (looking at Praiano), 5 nights on Amlafi Coast, get back to either Florence or Rome for final night, and fly out.

Any recommendations on itinerary/time in each place based on your experience? We are in our early 30s and like to eat good food (doesn't necessarily have to be expensive), drink, walk around and see cool things. We aren't anti-museum, but I don't think this would be a "museum trip" necessarily.

I realize Tuscany to Amalfi isn't the most efficient trip, but it seems doable with the high speed train.

If you seriously want to do Tuscany—Amalfi, then fly into Rome and out of Naples, or vice versa. You may pay a bit more, but you won’t waste time getting back to Rome at the end of your trip.

IMHO, five days on Amalfi Coast is too long. Three or four is plenty....spend a night in Naples before you fly out, go to Herculaneum on your way back to Naples. In Napoli, go eat some real pizza and see the Archaeology museum, which has lots best artifacts and frescoes from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
