Hello,

This is my first time writing in on any travel platform so looking forward to all the inputs i can get to help me plan my honeymoon.

I am from India and I am getting married end of October. My fiance and we will be travelling for our honeymoon on 4th November and looking at a 2 week holiday.

Firstly is November a good time to visit Italy. Is it too cold.

Places like Rome,Milan lake Como were on my mind, But i wold love to visit places which are not typically touristy but yet beautiful.
Both my fiance and me are city people but would like to experience the quite serene places too

Please help me with your suggestions for places and their travel distances along with the mode of transportation.
I think 3 to 4 places in two weeks is good.

Define "too cold".

Rome, Milan,. and Lake Como are all touristy.

3-4 places in two weeks is doable but I would do 3 places.

In Rome, you can expect temperatures between 9°C and 17°C and 9 rainy days out of 30. In Northern Italy, it will be significantly colder, in Sicily a bit warmer. Especially in Sicily, you may encounter heavy rainstorms in November.

Cool weather is city weather, for strolling through streets and museums, not so much for scenic drives or boat rides.

Rome is of course Italy's most attractive city. Nearby, in Tuscany, you will also find a lot of treasures in cities and towns like Firenze, Siena, Volterra, Pisa and you have the chance to see a bit of the countryside. Also, in Tuscany it might be a bit warmer than in more northern parts of Italy.

A most fascinating and unique city in Venice. In was there last November and we enjoyed beautiful weather and some relief from the tourist hordes which sweep the city in summer.

Rome, Tuscany and Venice would make a perfect itinerary for two weeks in Italy. You may add a day in Milan to see the Cathedral, but the other destinations are worthy enough to spend your whole time there.

I would not recommend Lake Como in November - it is a spring and summer destination.

I would drop Lake Como - Nov is off season for the lakes and many hotels and restaurants are closed since, although you are south of the Alps, it can still get quite chilly, esp at night.

In any case you have moderate of chilly temps (but not cold) and rain anywhere. I would agree to stick to cities at this point. You can rent a car in Tuscany and see the countryside between some of the hill towns but the countryside will not be at it's best.
