Naples is a city that wears its history on the surface, layer upon layer, from the old street plan of its historic centre to the working port that still shapes daily life. Bari is a working port city on Italy's Adriatic coast, in the heart of Puglia. Trieste is a coastal city holding UNESCO World Heritage status, shaped by centuries of maritime trade and cultural intersection. Trento is a city of Renaissance charm and medieval heritage, sitting at 194 metres elevation in the Trentino region of northern Italy.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Naples, Bari and Trieste and more into a single trip, so you see more of Italy in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
