It is best to travel in Italy on your own. During the trip, you want to walk around Milan, visit Florence, swim on gondolas in Venice, visit Rome, admire the Colosseum, also visit the islands - walk around the Sicilian market, relax in Sardinia. Unfortunately, it is impossible to go round the whole country in two or three weeks. It is best to choose several regions and travel around them.
To begin with, you should select several regions and cities in which you can stay. A few will be enough, with stops of two or three days. Also, do not plan your trip in detail and by the hour. In Italy one should travel spontaneously. There is a possibility of being in the center of any holiday, which can ruin any plans.
The best way to travel around the country is by car or train, so you can admire the amazing landscapes of the country. You should visit places where tourists are usually not taken. There you can find a lot of interesting things, get acquainted with the Italian way of life and get to know the country better.
Sightseeing
There are a great many attractions in Italy and it is impossible to see them all in one trip. It is advisable to make a list of the main places to visit and attach to it a list of secondary places to visit if there is too much time left.
You can also buy a city guide and decide on the spot what to visit and when.
To save money on sightseeing, you can buy a tourist card that gives 70% discount on public transport. This card also eliminates the need to queue for museum and exhibition tickets. The card is bought on the official website of the city, at the airport, train station or tourist center.
