We will be staying in Italy on April 13 thru 19. We'd love to visit Venice , Florence, Rome and PIsa. Do you think this is doable? And how to best utilize time in each destination. Any must-see reccomendation?

We're thinking
April 13-14 - Venice
April 15 - Florence
April 16 - Pisa
April 17 - 19 - ROme

Should we skip Pisa and spend 2 days in Florence?

Thanks.

If you really want opinions, then here's mine: you are proposing 4 cities in 7 days, and you're not allowing for travel time among them. Skip Pisa? Not only do I say 'yes', but I say skip another city as well.
Either skip Rome entirely or skip either Florence or my beloved Venice. Geographically, skipping Venice unfortunately makes more sense.
But if you go to Rome you could daytrip to Florence if you feel you want to.

Have you booked your plane tickets already? Where are you flying into and out of?

Will you arrive in Venice on the 13th or already be there? Two days is barely enough IMO - one and a half would be close to tragic.

I wouldn't bother changing venues in Tuscany. You can do a daytrip to Pisa if you like, but with so little time, I wouldn't. You have only 5.5-6 days total, as I understand it. I'd divide the time between two locations, not four.

Assume you'll be back! Do Venice and the north another time and skip Pisa. You will then have left yourself plenty of time for Florence and Rome with travel inbetween.

Hi mica,

I recommend limiting your visit to Venice and Florence, although Venice and Rome, or Florence and Rome would also be nice.

Some people would prefer just Rome.
