HELP!!LEAVE IN 5 days no REAL ITENERIARY YET

So,, I posted yesterday and need help. Life has been crazy and we have officially run out of time. we leave on the 5/23 - 6/7 and then 6/7 - 6/15 London. Fly into Salzburg on 23rd and then want to go to Rome after. Everyone has suggested seeing venice and we found good fare for $152 Euros to Rome out of Venice. Is it better to fly/drive? Is a week enough for a skim of Rome/Pompeii/Capri? HELP!!! we are in panic mode. We have been all over and our kids are good travelers,,,just no plan as of right now.

Set in Stone: Arrive 5/24 into salzburg via SFO...TIRED

Leave:6/7/08 back to London.. out of Salzburg or Rome?????


AAAAAHHHHHHHHH.

Just to make this clear:

Are you flying in Salzburg on the 23 or the 24?

I'm not really an Italy expert but I don't think that doing Capri is really a good idea in your time frame.

I guess you could do something like:

Salzburg - 3 days (24 to 26)
Munich - 2 days (27 and 28)
Venice - 2 days (29 and 30)
Florence - 2 days (31 and 1)
Rome - 3 days (2 to 4)
Naples and Pompeii - 2 days (5 and 6)
back to Rome for the 7th for your flight to London

Flying from Salzburg to London makes absolutely no sense since you want to go South.

Sorry. Yes leaving from San Francisco on 23rd arrive in Salzburg on 24th...Very tired. originally we were going to make a big loop hence the salzburg thing. But have re-thought it to fly out of Rome.

I think we want to stick to salzburg/Munich 5 days

Venice 1 day and then fly to rome

Rome 7 days to include pompeii/capri

Rent car in salzburg and leave in Venice.

No car in rome at all.

Flying Venice to Rome makes no sense. By the time you trek back and forth to airports the train is just as fast, a lot more comfortable - and not subject to all the delays and problems of air travel.

I would definately take the train.

As a matter of fact - I would leave the car in Salzburg period.

Take the train Salzburg to Venice -if you must stay one night stay - then go onto Rome via the train.

Having said that - I would spend 5 nights in Salzburg.

Salzburg to Venice 2 nights Venice

Venice to Florence 4 nights

Remaining time IN Rome.

Maybe you should look for hotels first before setting your itinerary in stone, esp for Venice, unless you have a very generous budget for hotels.
