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.

2 Arrive AM Milan or Venice: Lodge Venice
3 Tour Venice/Lodge Venice
4 Tour Venice/Lodge Venice
5 5 hour AM Train Siena/Lodge Siena
6 Tour Siena/Lodge Siena

thanks, LisaS

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.

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!!

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.
