Italian Road Trip / Base City
Our take
Are you ready for an unforgettable Italian adventure? Spending June and July on the mainland sounds amazing, especially with Ischia as your base! For a vibrant mix of food, art, history, and hiking, consider Bologna or Florence in Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, respectively. Both cities offer rich culture and easy access to stunning landscapes. If you’re leaning south, Matera and Puglia provide unique experiences with fewer crowds. Wherever you choose, each destination promises epic adventures and delicious memories! Let the journey begin!
I'm looking to spend June and July on the mainland Italy. Will be based in Ischia with some side trips for all of May so don't need coast but always nice. Was thinking about road tripping around the South or North but would prefer to base in one place for a month then do day and weekend trips from there. What would be a great base city? Literally open to anywhere! Especially interested in food, art, history, and hiking - initially was thinking somewhere farther north- anywhere in Emilio Romagno, Tuscany, Dolomites + Umbria or somewhere else. Also open to South as I'm interested in less crowds - Maratea, Matera, Puglia, Calabria. ANY guidance is helpful! thank you!!

- Romantic Italy tripHello- looking for tips on an Italy trip for me and my boyfriend. He really wants to do Italy but I have been a bunch of times and I’ve done most of the obvious places- Rome, Florence, cinque terre, Taormina, almalfi (and sorrento), Venice, Dolomites, Verona, como, lake garda and Tuscany. I’m truly at a loss for where to go- do I repeat somewhere amazing like Tuscany or branch out somewhere new? I’ve had my eye on Calabria, puglia, Sicily, capri (I did a day trip once but never stayed), Sardinia, lake orta and borolo region. Our main want is long lazy days maybe drinking some wine and cute cobblestone alleys to get lost in. We will be doing two places and we prefer one of them be lake or beach. I am looking for advice on what would be best for July- you guys have never steered me wrong, I trust you fully!! Thanks so much!! submitted by /u/External_Word3442 [link] [comments]
- Italy Places to visit around Almafi that aren’t over crowded late JuneHi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Italy for late June and would love some advice from people who know the area well. We are a group of 4 (2 couples) and are in our late 20s. We fly into Florence and fly out of Rome. We plan to train south to attend a wedding in Puglia. So, we’re looking for suggested places to stay for 5 nights in between Florence - Puglia. Right now I’m considering places like Sorrento, Procida, Ischia, and Salerno. Would love to be close to the ferry to see the Almafi Coast from the water. Also open to great hidden gems as well! Here is a snapshot of our plan: \-Florence/ Tuscany 3 nights \-??? 5 nights \-Fasano/Ostuni 3 nights \-Rome 2 nights We enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and beach hopping and hope to explore authentic restaurants and bars. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you! (: submitted by /u/Substantial_Arm_6648 [link] [comments]
- Italy: Palermo vs Amalfi Coast vs PugliaCiao a tutti. I'm travelling to Southern Italy with a few friends from early to late August. Spending a few days in Rome and a few in Naples, but for the next stop we can't decide on Palermo, Amalfi Coast, or Puglia. I've heard that Palermo is a great base and that it's a good place to experience local culture, nightlife as well as lots of pretty beaches surrounding it. I've heard similar things about Puglia except that the nightlife and "picturesque" aesthetic is a bit dampened. Is Amalfi worth it? It would be great to see because it's so close to Naples but I've heard so many negative comments about how expensive and crowded it is. Bear in mind: we are on a tight budget and in our mid 20s. submitted by /u/Suitable_Mess9670 [link] [comments]
