Hi everyone! My daughter and I are heading to Italy next spring. I'm mostly healthy, but I have a health condition that means I can't be on my feet a lot and need to be mindful not to overexert myself. I also get motion sick on longer rides (but can take medicine if need be… just don’t want to take it every day. We’re planning one main activity a day with downtime to rest, and we'd rather have unique experiences than rush between tourist traps.
Dates: Leaving Sunday night, May 23, landing in Rome Monday morning, flying home from Naples Friday, June 4.
Rome (3 nights)
Mon 5/24: Arrive and rest
Tue 5/25: Early-morning Vatican tour (still deciding on this one, might swap for a food tour)
Wed 5/26: Golf cart tour in the morning, Colosseum night tour
Florence (3 nights)
Thu 5/27: High-speed train to Florence, afternoon shopping
Fri 5/28: Perfume-making class + maybe timed entry to see David at the Accademia
Sat 5/29: Half-day trip to the Tuscan countryside to see the rolling hills
Sorrento (5 nights)
Sun 5/30: Train to Naples, car to Sorrento
Mon 5/31: Beach day
Tue 6/1: Capri by the larger ferry (not an all-day small-boat tour)
Wed 6/2: Pizza-making class
Thu 6/3: Free day for shopping
Fri 6/4: Fly home from Naples
Questions:
Does this pacing seem realistic, or is anything more physically demanding than it looks?
Vatican tour or food tour in Rome? Which would you pick?
Any tips for Capri?
Any recommendations for easy, low-walking Tuscany half-day trips from Florence?
Anything we'd regret missing that fits this pace?
Thanks so much in advance!
