Planning a month in Italy

A month gives you time to see the great art cities, the countryside and the coast without rushing. This route runs from north to south: the lakes and Milan, Venice, Bologna, Florence and Tuscany, the Ligurian coast, Rome, and finally Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Fly into Milan and home from Naples, or reverse the order.

• Week 1: Milan, Lake Como and Venice
• Week 2: Bologna, Florence and Tuscany
• Week 3: Cinque Terre and Rome
• Week 4: Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast

How to pace yourself

Use five or six bases rather than moving every day. Keep one free day each week, and do not try to see every museum. Some of the best moments in Italy are an aperitivo in a small square, a long lunch in the countryside, or an evening walk with gelato.

Long-stay practicalities

• EU and EEA visitors can use their home mobile plan; others can buy a local SIM or eSIM.
• Choose some apartments with a washing machine.
• Book the Last Supper in Milan, the Uffizi, the Vatican and Pompeii in advance, and high-speed trains two to four weeks ahead.
• Pharmacies (farmacia, green cross) are helpful for minor health problems.
• Keep copies of your documents in your email or cloud storage.

Best time for a month

April to June and September to October. In July and August, the coast is crowded and expensive, and the cities are hot. Note that the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre are quiet from November to March, when some hotels and ferries stop.
