I'm not much of a traveler, but, adding my 2 cents about my recent Italy trip. Booked thru Costco & went to the big 3 - 10 days. Loved Venice, it was crowded, but UT games are worse. Never once got on a boat. Spent only 2 days there. No plans, just walked around making our own tour up as we went.
Train to Florence. Liked it much more than I thought. Lots to do. Took a classic Fiat tour south of town. Museums were nice, but, it all starts to look the same to me after awhile. Again, lots of walking. It was hot, but not that big of a deal. Drink a lot of acqua con gas. Piazza Michelangelo is very cool.
Train to Roma. Finally, the locals are looking like I expected 😏, dressed in Italian fashion.Tight clothing. Adidas shirts for men. No socks to be found. Loved Rome as well.The history is amazing & at the same time, mundane. The St. Peter's is the most amazing thing that I have ever seen (again, not a traveler).
I'd go again to any of these cities.
& what's up with the feet washers in the hotels? I hope that the are feet washers
