I spent almost 12 magical days visiting Italy for the first time in early June, the first half of my trip with one of my best friends and the other with my little sister who recently graduated from college! I was able to visit a number of cities, from Venice down to Portofino, and found some amazing gems along the way. I'm so glad I went towards the beginning of the summer, because by the end of my trip the crowds started to get very intense in the main cities and landmarks. I'm sharing some of my favorite images, destinations, and my itinerary below with all the places I hope to visit again! Five City Italy Travel Itinerary
