Italy 10 day Itinerary

A long awaited itinerary of our trip around the glorious scenic country called, Italy. Beyond doubt number one on the list is Lake Como, a place highly recommended to anyone who are planning a trip to Italy, please add it to your itinerary you won't be disappointed!

Things to note: If you are catching trains from one city to the other, I recommend booking in advance even though it states it's possible to book on the day. There were a couple of times we tried booking on the day and most allocated times were sold out. Also factor in the journey time, on average I would say it took 2-4 hours to get from one city to the other. Lake Como to Milan was the shortest journey averaging around 2 hours.

Venice to Lake Como- We had to stop off in Milan and then catch a train to Lake Como, there was no other way of arriving to Lake Como. This was the longest journey of them all and took us around 6 hours.
