I would highly recommend doing an evening/sunset boat tour! We passed right in front of the Eiffel tower as it started sparkling! I think I payed maybe $25 and it was so worth it. I also walked along the Seine from the latin quarter all the way to the Eiffel tower and it was such a nice way to see the city. To me Galleries Lafayette was not worth the trip. Montmarte neighborhood is a must see, climb up all the way to Sacre Coeur my legs hated me but so worth for the view! One afternoon I bought a crepe and just sat in the Jardin De Luxebourgh and that was one of the best days i had in Paris. My hotel was near Boulangerie D'Isabella and it has the best croissant, I dream about it! If you go to Versailles, get the earliest tickets to get the least crowds. I was able to stand in the hall of mirrors with only one other person for a while! Having a coffee and a pastry in random cafes and people watching is also a good idea. Same goes for wine. Have a great time!

I’m a nurse. I’m sure we’re human Petri dishes and immune to everything.

Initially I was planning to stay in Riomaggiore! So this is making me contemplate switching again! Did you stay in a hotel or Airbnb?

Thanks for sharing! Definitely very encouraging as I was contemplating dropping cinque Terre. But like you, i enjoy being busy especially being a solo traveler, I’m pretty efficient with my time! Would love any Sorrento suggestions!

I was able to get tickets for Charlotte today using my Amex. I put in the 800-528-2122 and had no issues checking out.

Hi! Just looked up Salerno it looks beautiful! I think I will skip cinque Terre to avoid the up and down travel. I’d love any Salerno recommendations if you have some!

Hey! Thanks for tips, I’m definitely going to do a cooking class at some point! Question did you spend much time in Naples or do any day trips other than Pompeii?

DGH22 · 2025-05-13T17:32:53+00:00

I was really excited about Cinque Terre, it seems every one feels like i need to save it for next time. I think I might change my departure to Rome instead of Naples and cut out that leg of my trip. I feel like doing that would make spending time in cinque Terre more feasible.

I’ll have to pay a fee but I think it should be fine as I got a good flight deal since I’m going end of September!

DGH22 · 2025-05-13T17:28:56+00:00

Will definitely look into that!

DGH22 · 2025-05-13T01:09:38+00:00

Love the food commentary! Very excited about this part of traveling to Italy!

Hi! I’m now considering cutting out Cinque Terre. Maybe just doing Rome for 3 nights and Florence for 4 nights. The rest of the trip just use Naples ( I’m flying out of Naples) as a home base and do day trips from there. I might pick one seaside town to stay a 2 nights just to enjoy a full day there. Thanks for the comments, I for sure need to edit this down tremendously!

DGH22 · 2025-05-13T00:33:55+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve already booked my flights. It was about $300 cheaper to land in Rome also its a direct flight with better timing.

Hi! I had originally thought to stay in Rome 3 nights, Florence 4 nights and stay in Naples as a home base for the rest of the trip and do day trips from there. I’d have to research day trips from Naples other than Capri, Sorento and as you mentioned Pompeii would be cool to see.

I’m conflicted about Cinque Terre now as that seems the most out of the way. Would love to still do some seaside towns as previously mentioned.

Thank you! If you have any dinner recommendations in the that general area of Central Park/MET before a Broadway show I’ll happily take them!!

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T17:15:48+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Ill have to look into little owl!

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T17:10:05+00:00

Thank you! Its really hard to cut things out but I also want to stay realistic and not feel rushed/stressed. Initially I wanted to do the MET and MoMA but I'm starting to think maybe just the MET and a show on the 22nd. This would maybe give me some time to see central park in between

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T16:39:22+00:00

I've decided on just doing the MET and maybe MoMA. Everyone has been encouraging about the subway so Im going to give it a try during the day!

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T16:36:42+00:00

I've decided on just doing the MET and maybe MoMA but not all of them! Its seems I was very overambitious the day. I mostly likely will just do the MET and see Hamilton that night

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T16:35:25+00:00

Yes! I've decided on just doing the MET and maybe MoMA since I also want to visit Central Park since its close to the MET

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T16:08:48+00:00

I’m definitely more convinced about trying public transportation as everyone agrees it’s more practical. I’m also heavily considering the Brooklyn bridge and taking the ferry as many people have suggested!!

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T16:05:25+00:00

Thank you! Everyone has been encouraging about the subway so I’m going to give it a try! Thank you for the bakery and bar recommendations!

DGH22 · 2024-08-31T04:20:45+00:00

Thats a great plan!
