I am attempting for the first time to arrange our family holiday by myself. This site has been my inspiration. I have only just found out about it and I think i am hooked. However, that aside I need some advice from fellow travellers. I want to either drive from Rome to Venice meandering and stopping at places like Siena, St Gimmi, lucca, assisi?(obviously not all of these but some of them at least.) and whatever or I can drive from Venice to Nice doing a similar thing but obviously stopping at towns on that route. Which will be more scenic and interesting? Last time I caught the train between the larger cities but felt I missed out on much of the charactor of the places I was visiting. Please let me know what you think.d

How many people? When are you going and for how long?

>Which will be more scenic and interesting?<

They're BOTH scenic and interesting.
The former route is perhaps more interesting with all the attractive towns; the latter is probably more scenic, passing through the Italian Alps and Lakes. Touch call...

I meant - Tough call...

<< what would you do? >>

I would repost this with a more specific title to get more responses

There are 4 of us. Two adults and two boys aged 10 and 14. I realise there is lots to see on either route but we only have time to drive one of these legs of our trip( 4 weeks altogether including a few days in london, sicily - only the islands, and amalfi coastal area). I am leaning towards the rome venice trip at this stage.
