Ive only been to ROME, had an unbelievable time... my hotel was two blocks from the coliseum. It was a hostel actually, I was on a budget, backpacking Europe.... It wasnt bad at all, but if you are looking for a few more stars then it may not be the best spot for you

I did the hostel backpacking thing too. I went to Rome, Florence, Venice & Milan(Palermo & Agrigento on a seperate trip)..............Old Rome has old buildings, the Vatican(Sistine Chapel), Colisieum(sp) and you can pretty much goto any piazza and find a bar crawl which are great. Venice is nice when u first see it, but during the summer it smells, I didn't like Milan at all........and Florence is one of the most gorgeous placest on earth, not only does it have history, great architecture, the markets and the shopping are amazing, it has a decent nightlife, and it has the most amazing food in the world, definitely the most see............I've heard the Amalfi Coast & Sardinia are gorgeous too but I can't speak from experience.

We were supposed to go this year but health issues came up
Definitely next year though.. our itinerary is something like flying into Rome, staying a few days, heading to Bascilicata where my BF has a house, stayin there a week or so, and then doing the Amalfi Coast or Sicily for a few days. Can't wait

i totally agree. i LOVED florence when i went. rome was definatley my favorite city (for history/religious reasons) but florence was up there also. try to take a boatride out to capri. the island is so amazingly beautiful. im hoping to go back to italy by the end of this year. theres so much i wanna see and do again. i went to 9 cities in 7 days back in 1996 and that definatley wasnt enough time.. and im dying to go back for at least 3 weeks.. hopefully longer Originally Posted by TheHipHopBillGates

The first 3 are Old Rome(the city at night, the colisuem), the other 3 are Florence(the amazing food market was 2 levels, Bobboli Gardens, Domo something). The last is my little brother passed out drunk in the Florence train station the day Italy lost to South Korea in the World Cup, I never heard a place go from so loud when they were up 1-0 to quiet when they lost 2-1 in the final minutes, there were literally people crying in the bar.

HAHA nice sign on your brother, lol. amazing pictures. i took so many when i went, but they were all on dispoasble cameras (digital cams werent big in 96, lol). i took some really good pictures, but i dont have any on the computer since i dont have a scanner. my mothers trying to convince me to go to australia later this year to visit family, but i think i'd rather go back to italy first. i'm so torn. i cant decide what i want to do.

lol yes. and smoking cigarettes with our bodies half outside the window trying to not get the smoke in the room, haha. i have SOOO MANY PICTURES. i recently read the journal that i wrote throughout the entire trip. i started to crack up when i saw the pictures of us the night we all chilled with those italian guys. one of them wrote his address on a napkin, and told me to write him. i stapled the napkin to 1 of my journal pages. i totally forgot about that haha Originally Posted by MzPimpKore

If you are in florence and want a moderately priced hotel---i recommend the Hotel Botticelli. It is a block from el mercado centrale and a 5 minute walk from el duomo. It is a 3-star...but i am telling u it was so cute and the location was perfect...we loved it

In rome...stay at the Excelsior---it is amazing
This one is a bit pricier but till this day i have never slept in a more comfortable bed lol it is also in a great location--a few blocks from the Spanish steps and the trevi fountain

those are the only ones i can remember right now...

Venice was my favorite.....my hotel room faced the grand canal and at night gondolas would go by.....just the whole city and way of life is amazing there
Rome is nice...I was in awe of all the ruins and the Colloseum, Vatican...the city though is too industrial for me
Florence is beautiful..if your a shopper its right up your alley
Padua....St. Anthony's Basilica was beautiful
Pisa....you see something that you always saw in movies and pictures and then its right in front of you
Siena....the main square where they have the horse race that dates back hundreds of years was amazing....so was St. Catherines church
the food in Italy is okay....were not use to it thats why
the ice cream is delicious
and ALWAYS watch out for gypsies...epecially in Florence and near the Colloseum...pick pockets like crazy that go right after tourists
