Planning travelling around Italy

Now that  I am back from my trip to Madrid i want to seriously think about how important my university course is here in comparison to using the time wisely to travel around Italy. I'm not saying i'm not going to go to my classes anymore - i definitely am. However, in order to pass this year there is no requirement for me to gain any credits or grades from my time at NABA University. After arriving back to Milan after Easter i dropped a class as i didn't feel it was aiding me in anyway. I went to the classes for a large part of the term but decided i would actually benefit more from using this time to travel than to lose sleep over a module that wouldn't benefit after completion.

There are some places in Italy i already want visit such as Venice, Florence and Bologna but i have researched into other areas of Italy and there is so much to see here. As well as the popular names i'd love to find the time to visit places that are not spoken about everyday but are filled with terracotta buildings and beautifully cobbled streets with quiet restaurants and bars. I have also been told to visit the coastline. As far as Google goes, Naples is winning!

My friend Kayleigh and i decided it would be a good idea to get the metro to Centrale FS where the train station is to have a look at some prices for tickets. I personally would rather do day trips to lots of cities rather than doing over night stays in only a select few. To stay over night would be very expensive and there are a lot of places that could be seen in day!

Venice
We decided between us that Venice is a must and i really want to see the coast here in Italy so we also booked to see Genoa! We go to Venice this coming Friday 16th May. I'm so excited to finally get out of Milan and see what else Italy has to offer!

Genoa

Genoa is a beautiful city along the coast in Italy and as an attraction is overshadowed by more popular tourist attractions in places such as Venice and Rome. I'm so excited to see some forested hills, terracotta buildings and most of all, the sea!! I have researched Genoa and the city has lots of hidden gems to be discovered behind cosy alleyways.
