Heads Up
  • Every Italian historic center has a Limited Traffic Zone. Cameras will fine you weeks later. Always park outside the walls and walk in, or have your hotel register your plate.
  • Uffizi, Colosseum, Duomo cupola, Vatican (if you add it) — all need timed tickets bought online. Don't show up and hope.
  • This itinerary deliberately keeps it to 2 things per day. Resist adding a third — Italy rewards lingering at the cafe more than ticking another church.
