We flew into Rome on our way to drive through Tuscany and only had 36 hours in the Eternal city, so we were very choosy about what we visited. Our first priority for our quick Roman Holiday was not seeing the Sistine chapel, it was staying cool and managing jet lag during our brief stay while still seeing the sights.

We haven’t stopped fantasizing about Cinque Terre since we left- it’s heaven on earth. It’s a popular daytrip from Tuscany or Pisa, and cruise ships dock in Livorno or La Spezia, but I’m going to shoot you straight- if you want the full Cinque Terre experience, you have to stay in one of the towns.
