Mother and 15 year old daughter :If you had a choice would you spend more time in Florence than Venice?

Hi ibruns01, not knowing your interest, the amount of time you have in Italy, when you are going to be in Italy etc. I seriously do not know how anyone could answer your question.

So I take it you'll be going to both regardless? How many days do you have to split between the 2 places?

We are planning a trip for 14 days, 5 of which will be in Rome.

Hi Ib,

For 9 days, I suggest 4 in Venice, and 5 in Florence.

From Florence take a daytrip to Siena and/or a daytrip to Bologna.

May I suggest a daytrip to Orvieto from Rome? See http://gram.eng.uci.edu/~alberto/orvieto/en_seeing.html

Have a nice visit.

I agree with ira--no reason you can't do both, though I'd do 4 in Florence with a daytrip to Siena and 5 in Venice. Either way you can't go wrong.

Hi ibruns, I still don't know how anyone can really advise you not knowing what you and your daughter are interested in seeing and visiting. How are you travelling through Italy, by train I would imagine? Are you flying into Rome? Where are you flying home from, Venice perhaps?

I certainly wish you and your daughter a wonderful time in Italy but personally I can't make any suggestions due to the lack of information. Best wishes to both of you.
