Money Savers
  1. 1Intercity trains (Frecciarossa/Italo) are often faster and cheaper than driving between Rome–Florence–Venice once you factor in parking and tolls. If you don't care about Orvieto/Tuscany stops, swap to rail and save ~400€.
Heads Up

ZTL warning: every major Italian old town has a restricted driving zone with cameras. Drop cars OUTSIDE, always. Fines arrive months later via rental company.

Book ahead (non-negotiable): Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Uffizi, Duomo cupola, Doge's Palace. Do this before you leave.

Pack: covered shoulders/knees for churches, real walking shoes (cobblestones are no joke), a light layer for evenings even in summer.
