ES mi prime viaje a Europa y viajo sola. He reservado 4 noches en un B&B cerca del Vaticano... Qué me aconsejan hacer ? Casi no llevare equipaje... Dónde puedo adquirir ropa técnica, liviana y económica para caminar cómoda y abrigada?

El anfitrión en el B&B debe ser capaz de darle sugerencias.

(I don't have any suggestions of my own, but perhaps the OP will be able to translate any replies posted by English speakers. She's headed to Rome in February and is staying near the Vatican. She isn't taking much luggage and is looking for suggestions as to where she can purchase inexpensive, comfortable, warm clothing.)

Marilandia - I apologise for not speaking very good Spanish so i hope that as Happy Trails says you can translate this into Spanish yourself.

the main shopping street in Rome is the Corso which runs up from the Piazza Venezia [large bus station nearby] to the Piazza del Popolo. There you will find plenty of shops to sell you warm clothes. There is also a department store about half way along. The Via Nazionale which runs from Piazza Venezia up to the main station [Termini] also has some useful shops along it.

However if you want something more individual, the area around the Via dei Banchi Nuovi and Via del governor Vecchio, both to the west of the Piazza Navona, have lots of interesting little boutiques to explore.

Gracias por los datos.Ahora también quisiera ayuda para elegir mis siguientes destinos. Voy por 4 semanas a Italia.

Spend a week in Venice with day-trips to Verona and Padova.
Spend three days in Bologna with a day-trip to Ravenna to see the fabulous mosaics.
Spend several days in Florence.
Spend a week in Rome with a day-trip to Ostia Antica - ruins of an ancient city

Ok! Había pensado en Venecia, Bologna, Florencia, MilÁN y luego algo de la Toscana si no sentía mucho frío. Otra alternativa es la costa Amalfitana y bajar hacia Sicilia...más cálido. Qué es más aconsejable?

Ya no hablo espanol, lo siento. Pero in generale, estoy di acuerdo con ssander.

Por otro lado, si quieres ir al sur... Y si usted esta interesando en la costa de Amalfi, ha considerado Napoli? Es una ciudad muy interesante.

I agree with ssander though I'm afraid about suffering too much cold. That's why I was trying to have other chances going down to the south of ITALY.

I don't think that even in Sicily you can guarantee warm weather in February. You might be lucky but when I've been in Italy in February [5 times in recent years] we've had a mix of weather - sunny warm days, torrential rain, snow [in Rome], more rain, fog, - but it's never been that warm.

I would like you to tell me if the trip thought is possible or too much ambitious for being made in 24 days:
Rome-Salerno-Sorrento-Pompeya-Napoles-Bari- PATŔÁS-KYPARISSIA- Bari- Venecia- Verona- Milán- Bologna-Florencia- Siena- Roma..please tell me if its posible.

Marilandia - that's 13 places in 24 days - I think you know the answer don't you? some places, like Rome, Venice and Florence could each take you that long and you still wouldn't have seen all there is to see.

You could pick, say, 2 or three and use those as hubs - Naples or Sorrento - Bologna or Florence, and Venice. Add Rome at the end of your trip and you're done.

This would make a good itinerary, IMO:

Day 1 - arrive Rome. assuming you land about breakfast time, train to Venice. stay 5 nights.

Day 6 - train to Bologna/Florence. stay 6 nights. [use for day trips as well as seeing hub]

Day 12 - Train to Naples/Sorrento. Stay 6 nights.

Day 18 - train to Rome. stay till end of trip.

Hi annhig! You ate right...too many places. The fact is that I reserved a b&b place close to Vaticano for 4 nights from my arrival on february 21st. So then Could go to Venice or down to Naples...?

Marilanda - I saw that you are flying out of Rome, so I put all of your time in Rome at the end so you are in the right place to fly home and could use your arrival day to travel. But if you are locked into your Rome B&B, I would suggest doing Rome - Venice - Florence - Naples - Rome. You could of course reverse this, but I would retain travelling straight from Florence to Naples [or Naples to Florence] as there is a direct train between the two which means you don't have to get a connecting train in Rome so it would be a shame not to take advantage of this service.

I would leave a couple of days at the end for a bit more time in Rome before you fly home, if only for shopping!
