Personally, I would spend 4 nights in Rome, 3 in Florence and 2 in
Venice. Venice is very nice, but more expensive and smaller, with
less to see than Rome. Rome is, after all, Rome.

Especially in Florence and Venice, to see the museums, make your
reservations ahead of time over the internet - then when you get
there, you can walk past the incredibly long lines of tourists waiting
to get in who spend all afternoon waiting in line, and you walk up to
the side entrance at the appointed time and walk right in. MUCH
better way to do it.

Also - if you're hikers, consider the Cinque Terra - there are 5
little villages clinging to the steep coastline and there's a hiking
path between them. It's an all-day hike, but it's well worth it.

I agree that Rome is Rome..
and even 30 days would not be enough to visit the town and its monuments.

But being the first trip..
I agree it is wise to see as much as possible in the three towns.
yes. Venice is a small town.. but visiting the church of San Marco and
looking at its 10.000 square metres of mosaics ( roughly 100.000 square
feet.. )
its treasures
will take you at least half day.
then again.. The Doge Palace will take you another day..
going to the islands..another full day..
strolling along the streets.. trying to visit the churches. the palaces..
how many days ??
let two days be enough
i would say two days are also enough for Florence ( for the first time )
stay in Rome as much as possible. but if you can spare a couple of days
visit Naples.. Capri and Pompei. ( OPLONTIS:: Poppea's villa. is only a few
miles away.. a train stop.. )

the big problem in rome will be Musei Vaticani..
it is the most frequented museum in Italy. there are normally huge lines.
and I do not know if you can buy tkts in advance.
In Florence you can buy tkts in advance for The Uffizi..

you can easily move in Italy by train..
In rome and Florence there is a tourist bus London Style that for a modest
fee makes the tour of the towns.
but of course the offer of tours is enormous.

so roughly
Venice is 3 hours away from Florence

Florence is 2 hours away from Rome

Rome is 2 hours away from Naples.

I am saying roughly.. depending on the trains.
the price of train tickets in Italy is reasonable.
have a look at
[url]www.trenitalia.it[/url]

with special offers as well..

roughly a good hotel will cost about 100 eur/night including continental
breakfast.
of course. it depends on the season..
a good meal will cost you anything between 15 and 35 eur per person
including wine
