Italy - 06-25-2010, 07:08 AM

First up i would to apologise i know this is hardly the place i should be asking for advices on italy but hey people here seem really resourceful=),Was wondering what would be the best mode of travell in florence,milano & rome itself and whilst travelling to and fro between these italian cities would a train or plane be a better choice?Also what kind of prices should i expect my accomodations to be?(looking for cheap ones,so long as its not dodgey and clean i am good).Lastly anyone can give me a insight on how much per average a meal would cost over there?
Thanks for reading,i would be very grateful for any answers =)

It's a bit odd asking a question about Italy in a forum group for Japan but here's some information that might assist you:

Many have said to use the rail/train systems as they are fast, convenient and hassle free for the most part. Renting a car and driving is a headache and you encounter gridlock in certain parts.

You're a lucky man,I'm Italian from Rome.
First,to move into these cities I recommend the subway to Rome and train to others.
the price for the accomodation is around 20-25 euros a day,but much depends on where you want to stay.
In some bed and breakfast can be as high as 4 euros a day.
The food is delicious as well as being economical, a pizza can get up to about 7 euros and expected a full meal from 4 to 30 euros.
I suggest you also visit Austria and Switzerland as they are very close to Italy, good trip.
