Getting Around Italy on Your Own

In Rome, the subway system is clean and efficient. Otherwise, you may wish to try a Vespa, or scooter. But beware, traffic in Italy is crazy, and you can easily get run over if you don‘t know what you‘re doing. Do not allow yourself to get distracted by looking around. Keep a clever, watchful eye on traffic at all times.

In Florence, taxis are probably the way to go for staying in town, or you may want to rent a Smart Car for a day trip to the Cinque Terre. Sidewalks in Florence can be extremely narrow, and cobblestone streets a hazard for certain lady‘s shoes.

In Venice, you will rely on boats and walking.
