[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who does Cinque terra for 1 day? Why would you do that? It takes hours just to get there and the whole point is that its relaxing. There are some cute cities around there too but you didnt list them.

Rome is reasonable.  Same with Florence. Then it goes off the rails. You can't do any of those other towns in less than a day. Most of them would be better with 2 days each. Maybe you mean just pick one hill town for the day? I don't remember which one is closest by but San Giminano is probably the most unique to do a day trip to. [/quote]

I disagree you need more days for Venice.  You may really like it and cut Milan instead but honestly there is nothing to "see" in terms of tour in Venice.  You wander through the streets and you enjoy a gondola ride while window shopping and take an hour to enjoy St. Marks having sweets.  I really am not sure how people spend 4 days in Venice?  I suppose if you really wanted to do glassblowing and see the "beach" where locals hang out around Venice that adds another day but you can tour Rome to your heart's content as well as Florence but you don't tour in Venice.  You enjoy the sights of Venice and for enjoying sights of a very small area, you don't need that much time.  We did it in a day and loved it.  Could we have stayed extra?  Sure.  Did we have to?  No.  I would have loved to stay 3 months but you know... short of living there, you can enjoy Venice based on your plans just fine.  I would however make sure that between Milan and Venice, you are where you are going to be happiest - some would prefer one or the other - it's very different in ambiance.  IF you were to say trek around Italy to see as much as you can, I would keep Milan.  We do that - go see everything as much as possible because we likely won't return - there are so many beautiful sights in the world.  But of course, you can always return as well to re-visit more in depth on a second trip as well.
