Friction score

The route in brief

A three-base first Italy route that leaves room for one unplanned day in each region.

Reducing the route to three bases keeps the transfer burden low enough that the higher southern-Italy lodging range can still buy a calmer trip.

Rome
Florence
Sorrento

What the estimate includes

9 hotel nights, indicative ground transport, food, and activities. International flights, insurance, taxes that vary at checkout, and personal shopping are excluded.

Transport is roughly 13% of the modeled spend; food is roughly 18%.

Method note

These are editorial planning ranges, not live quotes. We compare route shape, hotel-night count, transfer time, and category shares so the trade-offs remain visible. Confirm current prices, schedules, availability, entry rules, and insurance terms with providers before booking.
