Italy 16 Days Itinerary
It'll be my first time in Europe, will be there late September this year. It'll be a solo trip, I honestly have no idea what to lookout for and I don't know if I've missed out on anything more worthwhile/famous. I know travel times are crucial, so would really love it if anyone can help me refine my itinerary. My travel style is more of a sight seeing + foodie trip, I can do 10-20k steps for that, however my stamina for hiking is very minimal. Will be using public transportation for everything so hoping to minimize backtracking as much as possible. I also am working on the assumption that I'll not have a chance to return to Italy again so trying to hit all the spots as much as I can. Appreciate all inputs, especially food suggestions / hotel locations / classes / tours / train passes if any!
