The route still needs care. Rome can swallow days with ancient sites, Vatican-area visits, neighborhoods, and food walks. Florence needs museum timing and a base that makes walking practical. Venice needs arrival logistics because luggage and bridges can turn a simple transfer into a hard day.<\/p>\n<p>Bologna or Tuscany can add value, but only when the itinerary has room.
