Tips on Honeymoon in Italy

What do you recommend for spending a week long honeymoon in Italy? The itinerary would include Rome and Florence (min. 3 days in Rome)

You may also want to consider a couple of days in Sorrento and Amalfi Coast, and a day trip to Florence.
This program appears to be suitable for your romance needs.

However, the best way it would be to plan your departure from Florence, so you could have more time to visit this city (I mean flying into Rome and out of Florence )

In Rome, I would suggest you to stay in the historical center zone, perfect for your honeymoon needs and to better plan the visits to any site of the ancient city.

The best time for your honeymoon is spring or late summer.
However, you can enjoy Rome all year round, so you can plan your wedding based on other your needs: budget, best time for you etc…

Any suggestion for accommodation in Rome , Florence , and in Amalfi Coast.

Take your time to choose the right shoe for your holiday in Italy.

Even though you plan just to walk in the cities, it is worth spending time and money to get the right comfortable shoes. Indeed, consider the sidewalks and streets paved with cobblestones you have to face for your visits to museum, churches, archeological sites, and historical areas.

Narrow and climbing streets are a typical feature of the historical centres in Italy, in the large cities as well as in the small towns.

If you plan to spend your holiday there in summer, also expect temperatures ranging from 30°C to 40° in most cities of the country, so boots and similar footwear might be too hot. I would recommend a comfortable flatter shoe with a thick sole to protect against the cobbles or sandal with good support.

However, (more…)

One of the questions that are frequently asked by travelers to Italy is concerning the ideal time to spend holidays there.

At first glance there is a obvious answer to that: there is no an ideal time, depends on your needs and interests.
However, we try to draft answers based on three basic factors: weather, prices, crowded times.

- Weather

September, October, April, May are the most appealing months in terms of weather, wether you plan to travel to north or to South of the country.
July and August are very hot, that could appeal for people looking for a sea-beach holiday, but is a troubled time for excursions, especially for people coming from countries with summer not so hot.
Consider the temperatures ranging from 30° - 40° C.
January and February are the coldest months, but you could also have fine days, especially in the Southern area of the country.

- Prices

Less expensive months go from November up to March, although a few services could not working in this time.
The most expensive are July, August, Christmas and Easter holidays.

- Crowded times

Best time to not find lines and crowded places is the Winter, except for the Christmas holidays.
However good time is also late Summer and Autumn.

In July and August you’ll encounter crowded beaches and if you drive, will experience troubles for the traffic on the ways heading to the seaside detinations.
In August the cities are crowded by tourists, but as most of Italians spend their holiday in this month, businesses will be closed for holiday, you will not find so much people around, the traffic will be acceptable and the cities enjoyable.
