The Spaghetti Tour

From Lair Of Sorrow

Ah, Italy. The cradle of Western civilisation (among Greece). The country filled with tourist attractions, great food and great wine. Perfect for a road trip, except there is too much to see in one month.

Choosing the cities

We started our plans with the obvious places: Rome, Naples, Piza, Milan, Torino, Florence, Venice, Verona, Bari... as the list grew, we realised there is simply too much for just one month of holiday. The line had to be set somewhere, and it was Florence. To avoid travelling the same way twice we opted for starting in the north-west of Italy and coming back in the north-east. That meant We would visit Milan, Turin, Genoa and of course Piza before reaching Florence. From there we would go to Perugia and Venice, while staying in San Marino just for good measure.

In the end, we decided to travel like this:

  • Gdańsk (Poland)
  • *some hotel in Germany, near Jena
  • Vaduz (Liechtenstein)
  • Milano (Italy)
  • Certosa di Pavia
  • Pavia
  • Torino
  • Genoa
  • Lucca
  • Pisa
  • Firenze
  • San Gimignano
  • Siena
  • Assissi
  • Perugia
  • Urbino
  • San Marino (San Marino)
  • Venezia and *Mestre (Italy)
  • Padova
  • Vicenza
  • *Tautenhein (Germany)
  • *Szczecin (Poland)
  • Gdańsk
