We had been to Europe a couple of times before (with and without kids) but this was our first time in Italy. We were very comfortable. If you stick to touristy areas in Italy, you will find plenty of locals who speak English in restaurants, hotels, signage in train stations, etc. And yes, I think traveling by train is very doable for first-timers. The train stations are all laid out very similarly with a large board telling you which platform each train is on, and they run very punctually.

I would try for a few days in each location - partly because it takes time to travel, settle into a new hotel, etc. If you are hiking in Cinque Terre, you'll want extra time for that, especially because they close the hiking trail during inclement weather. If you're just looking to jump on and off the train and have a quick look around, a day or two is probably enough.

Hello Carrie Loved your vlog! I’m so glad I found it because I’m planning to visit Italy this year. I’m planning to visit the north similar to how you did it with the inclusion of portofino.

@CarrieCook

Жыл бұрын

So, take this comment with a grain of salt because as you know - we didn't go to Portofino. I think it looks like a lovely little town, and I think visiting some part of the Italian Riviera is worthwhile. But I would choose to see either Cinque Terre or Portofino, but probably not both, unless you have unlimited time. For me, the draw for both places is the same: brightly painted buildings climbing up hillsides from a natural harbour. For a short trip, I would tick that box with one area or the other, then move on to something that adds more variety. I also think Portofino is a bit harder to get to than Cinque Terre as I don't believe it's connected by train - I think you'd be able to take a train pretty close but would then need a bus (or a long walk) to get the rest of the way there. Maybe someone else who's been there can chime in in the comments?

We had 3:06 hours in Pisa before taking the train from Pisa onward to Rome. August 23 - train from Rome to Sorrento with a layover in Naples of 3:25. August 27 - train from Sorrento to Rome, changing trains in Naples (layover was 38 minutes). We also took the local train, or Circumvesuviana, from Sorrento to Pompeii for a day trip on August 25th - these trains run every 20 minutes or so. I hope that helps.

Hi Carrie - Great Video! Looks like an amazing time. We are going in May/23. We are also there for 2.5 weeks. Rome / Naples / Pescara / Florence / Venice. Would you advise me on if you used a Eurail Pass or did you buy individual tickets on the day? Watching tons of videos on the subject, just wanted to get your point of view. Thank you!

@CarrieCook

Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! We didn't buy a Eurail pass. We priced out the individual tickets we needed and compared them to the cost of Eurail, and the individual tickets were cheaper. That's partly because we booked them well in advance: the price of point-to-point tickets increases as the travel date approaches. Eurail tends to be a better deal in some countries (like Switzerland) and not as good of a deal in others (like Italy), where individual tickets aren't as expensive. Also, we knew which dates we would be traveling because we had our accommodations pre-booked. Eurail passes start to make more sense when you know that you want to travel for a certain number of days, but want to maintain flexibility as to which days those are. When it comes down to it though, I do suggest pricing out your trip and doing the math to ensure you're getting the best deal.

Hi there, yes, we bought two separate train tickets to make the Pisa layover happen. We could have taken a train directly from Cinque Terre to Rome, but chose to break it up so we could see the tower. I can't recall the cost but I do think it cost a bit more to do the two separate tickets as opposed to a direct route. And yes, we just walked from the train station, to a luggage storage facility, and then onward to the tower. Total walking time in one direction was about 20 minutes.

Hi there, the hotel we stayed at was called Il Faro and we really liked it - quaint building, beautiful views from the rooms, excellent breakfast and a nice rooftop pool area. You should be aware that the hotel is located at the bottom of the cliff in Sorrento, and most shops/restaurants are at the top. There are staircases up and down between the coast and the clifftop, and there is also a lift. We loved the location and it was handy for us since we chartered a boat, took the ferries and went paddleboarding, all of which leave from the marina that was adjacent to our hotel. But we did need to climb the steps into town when we went out to dinner, went shopping, etc. This might be more of a concern if you have limited mobility. Just something to be aware of!

Glad you enjoyed it! I just looked at Tonnarello's website and it looks like they no longer take reservations - now it's just first come, first served. (They used to have a reservation calendar.) My best tip for getting in is that they have two locations, not far apart from one another. One is at Via della Paglia, 1/2/3. The other is Piazza della Scala, 19. When we made a reservation it was relatively easy to book at the Piazza della Scala location, but impossible to get one at the other location. If you're trying to walk up, I would get there as early as possible, and target the Piazza della Scala location, which doesn't seem as busy. We had a great time with our kids, who were 15 and 17 at the time - they have traveled all over with us and thankfully it's something we all enjoy. Italy was a great destination because so much of it is recognizable for kids/teens/young adults from TV, film and history class at school. Have a wonderful time with your son!

I confirm the argument about excessive exposure. In the beginning of the video I hade the impulse to write a comment after hearing something like "the next day we got a train to" - Eeeh?? - I thought - You just arrived, how can you leave the day after... without seeing nothing. - I think that this kind of trip should be avoided. You miss so much from every single place you visit. And not some minor details, you missed the real deal!!! As an Italian, I'm used to everything you see in this voyage, but still I can stay in Rome for a month and just scratch the surface of its wonders, and half of my family is from Rome. Let alone Amalfi, Capri and so on. You must live there a bit to get accustomed to the place rythm and habits. A beach in Italy should be lived not seen from the boat. You should go with the locals in the place they only know. To hurry from a place to another is not just plain wrong... is a completely anti-italian philosophy 🤣. You should not try to see everything because you lose just everything. Please don't do that. Never. It's worthless.

Thanks for your comment. I enjoyed hearing your perspective, although I do disagree with it. It would have been wonderful to have a month to spend in Rome alone, but unfortunately, as a family with work and school obligations, that's not practical for us - nor do I think it is for most folks who aren't either retired or independently wealthy. With the two weeks we had in Italy, we thought we got a great overview of the country. Now that we've had a taste of it, we know where we might want to focus our time if we're lucky enough to come back. We hope to travel more slowly someday, but until then, we'll continue to hit the highlights - because the future is never guaranteed.

Well, guilty as charged. 😄We'd heard horror stories about Italy being crowded during the summer and I didn't think it was bad at all, but the Amalfi Coast was the worst of it - and especially the beach. So many beautiful beach clubs were empty, and then the tiny strip of public beach was just overrun with people. And I get it. We didn't pay to enter a club, either, because we were only in each spot for a few hours and it didn't make sense to pay the daily rates. So yes, we were contributing to the problem. But similar setups existed in Cinque Terre, and it was not nearly as crowded there. Overall it's just different than what we're accustomed to in Canada, where beach clubs are not as prevalent.
