Rome to Milan via the Riviera

Recommended Itinerary Length:

Highlights:

Summary: This itinerary traces the western coast of Italy as far as Genoa before heading north for the final stretch to Milan. To break the journey, the first stop is Orbetello, a picturesque peninsula-like island joined to the coast by three spits of land. The next destination is Cinque Terre—a string of five tiny fishing villages along the coast that have not yet fallen prey to a great influx of tourists. Then it's on to Portofino—one of the Italy's most treasured jewels—before the final destination of Milan.
