I'm going to school in florence this fall and I mapped out my trip that i'll be going on a week before school starts with my family around italy.
I'll be starting in turin and making my way through the major cities going down south.
Since rome and venice are equally far out of the way, I'm going to only choose one.
Is venice or rome worth seeing more?
I personally feel like Rome is worth seeing more, but if you're in a more quaint, romantic mood, then Venice is for you.
They're both less than 2 hour by fast train flom Florence, they are both unique and worth the trip in my opinion
You can also postpone Venice and visit it in a weekend later, it's not really worth more than 2 days
