Is it possible to visit Rome, Venice and Florence during a six-day stay in Italy?
Good afternoon! We fly to Italy for six days in May. Place of permanent location Bologna. On a rented car, we plan to visit Rome, Venice and Florence these days - this is, as it were, a mandatory program, and I don’t know what else to the rest of Lake Garda. Tell me, plizz, in order to have time for everything, is it necessary to order an individual guide in each city for a survey, tickets: Vatican, Doge, Uffizi (for example) book in advance? How to calculate the optimal route? Thanks!

rich program, we had a similar route, but every day we stopped in different places, we didn’t take a guide, do you want to return to Bologna every day?

Be careful, the Uffizi does not work every day!
On our visit, the Doge's Palace was generally closed to the public. In Rome, you do not need to travel by car at all, it is much more convenient to transport.
The Vatican is definitely in advance, although we were supposedly out of season, the queue was very long, due to lack of time, we had to overpay and take it from sticky agencies near the Vatican

Yes, because the rent has already been paid. In principle, it’s not far from Bologna to Florence and Venice, but it’s only about 5 hours to Rome in the best hands, as I understand it, to get there. But the company (there are four of us) wants to see Rome. A private tour for 4 hours in Rome has already been booked.

I think everything is real. This is not exactly your route, but the idea is the same.
San Marino - Rimini - Milan - Bormio - Venice.

we, too, though in 10 days, managed to go to San Marino (although somehow I didn’t understand what to watch there) and to Verona

Good afternoon!
Definitely, it is not rational to return to Bologna every day at night. Firstly, this is a waste of time and effort, and secondly, late evening and early morning are the ideal time for walking around the city (when there are no crowds of tourists coming for 1 day yet)...
I recommend staying in Bologna for 3 nights and "radially" visiting Venice, Verona and Lake Garda:
Bologna - Venice (157 km)
Bologna - Verona - Sirmione on Lake Garda (170 km)
And then go to Florence (106 km) and stay overnight there.
The next day, move to Rome (275 km). Overnight stay in Rome.
Well, the last march is to return to Bologna airport (about 400 km), and it is advisable to choose another road through Perugia and drive through Umbria!

To Rome in one day from Bologna is too much, even by plane. And what's the point? In Rome, you need to go for a longer time and spend the night there. So if you remove Rome from the Route, then more or less.

Many years ago I went on a week-long tour of Italy by bus. The route was looped, it started and ended in Rome, there were 4 days in Rome, one in Venice, Florence and San Marino. Everything is real, but the journeys were long.

The children returned from a similar trip a week ago. Intensely. Highly. Even in order not to waste a day on the move, I had to use the night bus Rome-Venice
There are a lot of people, so it is better to book tickets online.

Remove Rome from your plans, add Milan, and you will succeed. This year I have three weeks to Italy, I am by car, but there is not enough time for Rome.

To be honest, I wouldn't even add Milan. And so for six days as many as four interesting locations, each of which is worth more than one day. Better less is better, as one smart person said.

There, only around Florence you can travel for two weeks, and what is the Tuscan coast worth! That smart man was going to be alive forever, as far as I understood, and we don't have much time...I'm against Rome in this case.

Thanks to everyone who responded, there's a lot to think about. Rome, perhaps, I would also exclude, but the people are against it (for now), and the advance payment has already been paid for an individual tour - it’s a pity to lose it :-( Maybe by train there, so that it’s faster, or for two days? , but we must strive :-), as Kozma Prutkov said. .Now I judge the question. In Rome: an individual tour of 4 hours and the Vatican, in Florence - a survey and the Uffizi or Michelangelo in the Academy Gallery, in Venice - the Grand Canal, Doge? This is offhand. Maybe change something, choose another of the sights?

laraskalska, it is very difficult to advise anything, because everyone has their own preferences. Even in our family, everyone has different favorite cities)
Italy is beautiful all over, and to advise you to go there, but not there, is at least unethical. Don't try to see everything, it's better to feel the energy of each city.
A person emotionally also "eats up", as well as physically. A private tour and the Vatican would be a lot for me. Usually the Vatican + St. Petra with the ascent to the dome - this is already the limit. Mark on the map what you are interested in, and then act according to the situation.

I agree with those who unsubscribed that the time spent on round-trip trips is in vain, for short visits, of course, it is better to choose moving around the ring, with an overnight stay in the city where you spend the whole day. I also agree that one day is not enough, it will just be a sightseeing tour "for show ", and if the weather catches, then it will be sad in general, as I "didn't grow together" with Vinezia this fall, there was a flood on the day of the visit, everyone walked along the "bridges" and in swamps above the knees, it was lucky that I took crocs and shorts - they helped out. and so formally - I was in Venice, but I didn’t really see anything, the same gondolas stood sneezed.

A short report on the tour. Everything happened as planned. Morning flight Kiev-Bologna, car rental (booked in advance), moving to a rented apartment, a walk around the city with visits to local attractions until the evening, the next day an early rise and a trip to Florence (about two hours): city overview, Santa Maria del Fiore, Basilica of San Lorenzo Boboli Gardens (neither the gardens themselves nor the museum on the territory were impressed at all). So until late at night. Return to Bologna. The next day: in the morning, about 4 hours drive to Rome by car. We parked near Plaza España. We had a tour of the Vatican Museums booked for 10 am, but we were late :( Thank you for meeting us halfway at the travel agency and including us in another group. We went through all the queues pretty quickly (about half an hour) and ran until 4 o’clock in the afternoon (in another way you can’t say) through the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and ended with an inspection of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Continuation. At 5 pm we had booked a 4-hour sightseeing tour with a private guide in Rome. Everything was great. We returned to Bologna at about 2:30 am. The next day is rest. Close road (about 100 km) on the Adriatic coast, the day is relaxed and unhurried. The next day is a trip to Garda and Verona. They rented a yacht on the Garda and spent most of the day on it, dissecting the lake from one shore to the other. towards evening, on the way back to Bologna, we stopped in Verona. Well, another day dedicated to Venice. The sightseeing tour was ordered "today for tomorrow", therefore it is not very successful, but in general, even just spending the whole day in Venice is unforgettable. At ten in the evening we left Venice for Bologna, around 12 at night we were in place. In general, everything went as planned, although the schedule of city visits had to be adjusted due to the weather: why ride through the canals in the rain? :-)
