Italy has been high on Lauren’s bucket list for a very long time. We were both excited to travel somewhere new together to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. Where is a more romantic place than Italy? It was truly a dream come true… everything we imagined and more!
Our top 3 reasons to travel to Italy:
- Architecture
- Food
- Wine
With only about 1 week, we had to carefully choose our destinations. Luckily, getting around Italy without a car is very doable. We planned to use the high speed train (Trenitalia) to get from one destination to another and that was convenient for us. We originally were looking at places all over Italy, but that just wasn’t realistic for this trip. So, we narrowed it down to Northern Italy. You can see our detailed itinerary for one week in Italy below.
Venice – 3 nights
Florence – 3 nights
Cinque Terre – 2 nights
Would we do anything differently with our itinerary? We would spend more time in Cinque Terre. We didn’t realize all that there was to do there- from hiking, dining, exploring and relaxing. It was a very unique place that we only wish we had more time to explore!
