No. Italy travel advise
 
How does this look? Hubby doesn't want to bother with a car this time; train, taxis only. Does this sound reasonable? Added siena because we have been twice and keep missing it.

Why don't you do Milan first, then Venice, then Siena and fly out of Pisa, to save backtracking?

Open-jaw flights (into one city, out of another) barely cost more than straight return flights.

really sounds perfect to me

Hi Lisa, your itinerary looks fine. May I suggest that you fly into Venice and then fly home from Milan.

I, inspite of many trips to Italy, have never been to Siena either! Not even sure why that is.

Have a beautiful time in lovely Italy!!

Thanks, LisaS

Just a suggestion, but why not travel in the later afternoon-early evening.

That way you will have complete days, and will be able to eat dinner when you arrive in each city.

P.S. Train Milan to Venice, train Venice to Florence, <b>bus</b> Florence to Siena, <b>bus</b> Siena to Florence, train Florence to Pisa airport.

There are frequent busses to Siena and they take you up into the city instead of leaving you several kilometers down below at the train station.
