How much does a 2 week trip to Italy cost?

We ended up taking trains from Rome to Florence to Venice to Genoa and Cinque Terre. I definitely think that taking the train around Italy is the best and most efficient way to see everything, by far. You can fly from Rome to Venice, or Rome to Genoa, but doing so would honestly take longer than just taking the train, adding up all the time to get out to the airport and back, and waiting at the airport itself. Trains are the way to go.

One of the things that surprised us the most is just how expensive hotels have gotten - it seems like just about every budget or lower-end hotel just... disappeared over the last year. That makes me super sad, to see an entire class of accomodation not be able to make it through the pandemic. Also, Airbnb's were extremely expensive - not for their nightly rates, but for all of the additional Airbnb fees + cleaning fees. It seems like Airbnb has really been cranking up their fees recently, and I can't really recommend staying at any of them in Italy, it just doesn't make financial sense here.

Also, even though it pains me so, so, so much to watch - check out the very end for a rare behind the scenes look at how we make our travel thursday song, lol :)

Out of all the videos I've seen, this is the only one that was great in explaining the budget for a 2 week trip.. keep up the good work.

Love from italy ❣️
Just a little advice, Do not stay in the city for too long, turn a little in the villages, it's cheaper and more characteristic, less marked by tourists

Great video with lots of useful info. Seems like we have a lot in common when traveling so this will definitely help me out when I visit Rome . 👍🏽 🇮🇹

I am planning a trip to Italy with my husband for next year and I am so happy I stumbled on your channel. You are both upfront and unpretentious and I love that! The places you went to are also in our plans and having an idea on the budget side is very helpful. I will be watching your adventures the next few months till our trip.

We choose Costco travel 10 days total.Rome, Florence and Venice. Flight, hotel and train for 5.240 for two. Im sure we could save more but is going to be our first time in Europe so we want it to make sure to be stress free.

I got to say... if you plan to visit Italy for 2 weeks... Don't do what you did, as in... way to much. If you plan your trip like this it's just following a checklist. Don't suffer from fear of missing out and know you just can't see everything and you don't have to. I'd say Rome alone is at least a week to truly experience it without having to rush things. Just take Ostia Antica for example, its a huge archaeological site of the ancient port of Rome and you can easily spend the whole day there. And you want empty days in your schedule to, just wander aimlessly though the streets and usually the best experiences happen on days like that. .

Also Florence is at least a week. It's not just the city you know, its the area around it, Tuscany, that is incredibly beautiful. Ancient towns like Siena or San Gimignano can easily provide for an entire day's worth of activities. Just go on long walks through these old villages and the countryside to truly experience the local vibe. So I'd say 2 locations max in 2 weeks. You are not there for the Instagram shots of all the landmarks, you are there for yourself and its exactly the fear of missing out that causes you to miss out because you are never really fully there.

Very resourceful information, especially about the Trainitalia option, didn’t even know they offered one, seems more economical to use trainitalia passes while in Italy 🇮🇹 and Eurail pass for most of Europe. Thanks again.

I’m going solo to Italy and France for a month next spring and this helps me with pre-planning!

[DaPhenomAce]

Thanks! This helps a lot. Going to Italy at the end of May for 10 days and also flying out of DFW. Gonna try my best to stick to a budget

Thanks Guys that's some very helpful information. I am a budget traveller too and I have noticed how much more expensive western Europe has become now interns of accommodations. Maybe prices will go back down in 2022🤞
