Group trip

A group trip to Italy

Food, wine, history and views — Italy works beautifully for groups: the cities are close by train, the meals are long, and there's always something to do for those who skip museums.

A sample 7-day itinerary

Just a starting point — in Tripw the whole group adds ideas, votes and rearranges the days together.

  1. Day 1

    Rome: the historic center

    The Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain on foot, gelato on the way, and a first dinner in Trastevere.

  2. Day 2

    The Colosseum and the Forum

    A pre-booked entry to the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine. A free afternoon — shopping or rest — and meet up for aperitivo.

  3. Day 3

    Train to Florence

    About an hour and a half by fast train. The Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio, and sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo.

  4. Day 4

    A day in Tuscany

    A large car or a driver for the group: Siena, the Chianti villages and a tasting at a family winery.

  5. Day 5

    The Uffizi, then Venice

    A morning at the Uffizi, then about two hours by train to Venice. An evening in the alleys, and a gondola for those who want one.

  6. Day 6

    Venice and the islands

    St Mark's Square early in the morning, then the vaporetto to Murano and colorful Burano.

  7. Day 7

    A last morning and the flight

    Coffee at the Rialto market, last shopping, and the flight home from Venice.

Tips for traveling as a group

Timed tickets in advance

The Colosseum, the Uffizi and the Last Supper sell out ahead. Buy for the whole group together and keep the tickets in the trip's documents.

Trains between cities, not a car

Fast trains link Rome, Florence, Bologna and Venice in a few hours. Book early — fares rise as the date gets closer.

Watch out for ZTL zones

City centers have restricted traffic zones, and the fine arrives months later. Rent a car only for the countryside day and park outside the center.

One bill at the restaurant

Many places won't split the bill. One person pays, logs it in the trip, and everyone settles up at the end.

Plan it together in Tripw

One shared itinerary

Everyone sees the same plan, day by day — times, places and flights in one place.

Decide with polls

Restaurant or museum? Open a poll in the trip, let everyone vote and move on.

Split the expenses

Log who paid for what as you go, in any currency, and see who owes whom at the end.

Plan with AI

Get a first draft of the days, then edit it together.

Questions

When is the best time for a group trip to Italy?

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October): pleasant weather and fewer crowds than summer. July–August is hot and busy; winter is quieter and cheaper in the cities.

Rome, Tuscany or the north?

For a first trip, the Rome–Florence–Venice triangle gives the most in a week. Groups who like nature and driving may prefer the lakes and the Dolomites; beach lovers, the Amalfi Coast or Puglia.

Train or rental car?

Between the big cities, the train: fast, easy, no parking. A car is worth it for countryside days in Tuscany or the Dolomites. For a large group, look into a driver with a minibus.

How do you keep a large group together in busy cities?

Set a meeting point and time for each part of the day, and leave free time. When the plan and addresses are on everyone's phone, nobody waits for whoever got lost.
