Heads Up
  • Day 5: 5h 56m driving — plan rest stops
  • Day 9: 5h 27m driving — plan rest stops
  • Pre-book everything timed: Colosseum combo, Vatican Museums, Uffizi, Accademia, Duomo dome climb, Doge's Palace. Walk-up = wasted vacation hours.
  • ZTL zones in Rome / Florence / Siena will fine you automatically — leave the car at hotel garages, don't be a hero.
  • Cinque Terre Card covers train + trails between the villages. Don't try to drive between them.
  • Dress code: shoulders & knees covered for Vatican, Florence Duomo, St. Mark's. They turn people away.
  • Day 10: Gondola or vaporetto down the Grand Canal → Wrap up flight transit only 2.0h — allow ≥5h door-to-door
  • 🛫 Route includes 1 flight + 0 rail segments. Map shows them as dashed lines (connection only, not real road).
