I think I've narrowed it down
 
Ok guys I narrowed it down to Italy only and still need help. Can you give me your opinions on Rome v.s. Venice, given time of the year...so my itinerary would be either

Venice---Florence--- Naples

Or

Florence---Rome---Naples

Keep in mind that Naples is where I need to end my trip

I have flexibility with flying into either Venice or Florence to begin my trip.

The only two things in Rome that I would like to see are the Coliseum & Sistine Chapel. I’m not sure what else I might be missing if I skip Rome..


Thank for your help

Hi R,

We've been to Venice about 8-9 times.
Haven't gotten around to Rome yet.

I would fly into Venice and out of Naples.

Let me ask the obvious question. Will you be in Italy for one week, month or a year? Have a nice trip!!! Mike

BTW, I'll give you another option. I'd do Venice, Rome and Naples. Mike

I arrive Brussels on the Feb 4th @8am (I could take a flight from Brussels to either Florence or Venice) and then depart Feb 12th from Naples (this could be extend 1 day)

IRA, I know you're totally in love with Florence and have been to Venice about 8-9 times. I find it interesting that you've never been to Rome. Mike

Hi B,

Don't know why exactly, but Rome is just not one of our priorities.

You're kidding, right?
You'd be missing about a million great things!
I would also go with Venice, Rome & Naples.

Venice, Rome and Naples.

I lvoe Renaissance art, but I'm still not a Florence lover. I did enjoy it quite a bit my first time. However, that was before I went to Rome. :)

oops, love, not lvoe. not sure what lvoe means.
