About this deal

Start your journey early from Rome and take the train to Naples, then transfer to either the Campania Express or the Circumvesuviana train for Sorrento. Sorrento is the perfect base for exploring the Amalfi Coast and nearby attractions. Make sure to plan your transportation ahead of time and consider hiring a guide for a more informative and enjoyable experience. From Sorrento, it’s easy to explore the Amalfi Coast by taking a day trip to the towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello (by the way, we listed the things to do in Ravello).

Even now, in modern times, sometimes tourists try to imitate Anita by wading into the Trevi Fountain. They even search for the best time to visit Italy just for that. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, which tells the story of a nobleman during the Risorgimento, the period of Italian unification in the 19th century. Il Postino” (The Postman) is a movie that, for all of us in Southern Italy, carries a lot of sadness. You’ll be spending the next day and a half exploring Venice, one of the best coastal towns in Italy. Begin your tour of the city by visiting the Doge’s Palace, climbing the Campanile, visiting St. Mark’s Basilica, and crossing the famous Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks, a grand work of architecture and engineering supported by 6,000 wooden piles. It’s 48 meters long and 22 meters wide.
