Heads Up
  • Historic centres in Rome, Florence, Siena and Pisa have ZTL limited-traffic zones with camera fines; park outside and walk in.
  • Cinque Terre villages are best reached by train from La Spezia, since village parking is scarce. Check Sentiero Azzurro trail sections for closures and Cinque Terre Card requirements.
  • Carrara quarry visits run as guided tours on steep quarry roads. Book ahead and verify the schedule.
  • Book Colosseum timed tickets and the Contucci tasting in advance.
