Trick is, I do NOT want to rent a car...so how best to get around on public transportation? Obviously train from Rome to Naples is easy enough, but how to get out to the smaller cities and villages down the boot? And yes, the view from Florence's Duomo is stunning! <strong><em>Ouch. Yea, definitely better to rent a car down here. You can travel to the south via train no problem and probably visit one main, more touristy place like Tropea, but it really is hard to get around otherwise. </em></strong> I’m contemplating a trip down south for my next visit to Italy.

Ouch. Yea, definitely better to rent a car down here. You can travel to the south via train no problem and probably visit one main, more touristy place like Tropea, but it really is hard to get around otherwise.

It's so much more intense in every way - food, weather, etc. I would add to the list: Find out when/where there is a sagra or food festival (check the tourist office or local papers) and go - whether it's a chestnut, prosciutto, polenta or any other kind of festival, they're fun and you may meet a lot of locals there. <strong><em>GREAT tip!
