Getting Around

There’s a variety of ways to get from region to region when you’re in Italy. You can rent a car, but be sure you know how to drive with a stick. Most Italian cars run on manual transmission. If you and your partner fancy long drives where you can talk while seeing the sights, this is the way to go.

If you prefer faster and cheaper mode of transport, Italy has a great rail railway system that allows you to literally hop from locale to locale in just a few hours. You could literally go be shopping in Rome in the morning and go sipping limoncello on the Amalfi Coast after lunch. This same railway service also grants you quick access to the tiny streets of an Umbrian hill town or vineyards in the Tuscan hills. There’s nothing quite like experiencing sight after sight after sight with your partner right beside you.
