Italy June 2025

[Karlgalla1]

Good morning all

I am looking at doing a 16 day tour of Italy IN jUNE 2025. I am looking at things / places that are a must see and places to avoid. Any itinerary that people have used would be a good help. TIA

Welcome.

Does that include travelling to and from the UK? If so, that's not a lot of time and if you try and do too much, or go too far, you will feel knackered and need a holiday when you get back!

With (just over) 2 weeks, I would confine myself to Northern Italy and enjoy the lakes. The larger lakes are quite busy so you might like the smaller ones - Lake d'Orta and Lake d'Iseo - they are little gems.

Lovely walking in the area, but also places like Verona and Venice are within striking distance for day trips.

Happy to provide further details if interested

Hi Brize. Thanks for the information. I have 22 days booked off work. I was allowing 1 day each way to travel to northern Italy and back to the UK. (Just over 12 hours each way). 2 drivers.

Rather you than me; that's hectic.

Still, if you like a busy trip you will want to go further afield (although I would still enjoy the lakes). Rome would be a big attraction, and Pisa on the way there, but it depends on what your interests are - its very personal. If you love walking the lakes are perfect. If you like Roman Empire history Rome is fantastic, but then so are so many other places in Northern Italy.

If you do a search, there will be many threads of advice on this forum, but I suggest first that you decide what your interests are - what is it about Italy that makes you want to visit? Secondly, I still think you need to be more realistic about travelling time.

Pompeii and Herculaneum are a must.

Avoid Italian roads (and drivers); they get worse the further south you go.

We stayed at Lerici for a boat trip at Cinqua Terra, then we loved a Dutch campsite in Tuscany with an infinity pool and took the train to Florence
