This is our first trip to Italy and we couldn't be more excited! This is for this year, 2020.
This is our itinerary:
3/27 - arrive in Rome by plane - stay until 3/30.
3/30 - train to Orvieto - stay 1 night
3/31 - train to Florence - stay until 4/4
4/4 - train to Venice - stay until 4-6
4/6 - fly home
My question is whether we should book our trains in advance or buy our train tickets as we go? We like to have an itinerary, but want to be flexible in our travel times.
Also, while in Florence, we'll go by train to Cinque Terra for a day excursion on 4/2. Again, should the tickets from Florence to La Spezia be booked in advance? or to any of the other towns there that we could book to?
Another day trip we're considering is to rent a car for 1 day to travel back through the Tuscany and maybe visit a winery and other towns along the way. Should the rental car be booked in advance?
I know these are alot of questions, but any help would be so appreciated!
