How much does a 2 week trip to Italy cost?

By



We just finished up a 2 week trip to Italy, and here’s the breakdown of exactly how much it all cost. All these figures are for 2 people, and there’s a lot of variability in the prices, so be sure to watch this one all the way to the end to get most accurate figure.

We ended up taking trains from Rome to Florence to Venice to Genoa and Cinque Terre. I definitely think that taking the train around Italy is the best and most efficient way to see everything, by far. You can fly from Rome to Venice, or Rome to Genoa, but doing so would honestly take longer than just taking the train, adding up all the time to get out to the airport and back, and waiting at the airport itself. Trains are the way to go.

One of the things that surprised us the most is just how expensive hotels have gotten – it seems like just about every budget or lower-end hotel just… disappeared over the last year. That makes me super sad, to see an entire class of accomodation not be able to make it through the pandemic. Also, Airbnb’s were extremely expensive – not for their nightly rates, but for all of the additional Airbnb fees + cleaning fees. It seems like Airbnb has really been cranking up their fees recently, and I can’t really recommend staying at any of them in Italy, it just doesn’t make financial sense here.

Also, even though it pains me so, so, so much to watch – check out the very end for a rare behind the scenes look at how we make our travel thursday song, lol 🙂

    Looks like it’s doable without buying 2000 guided tours only to see three major cities and go to three major places. Although I’m not sure where I’ll be on what day. Do you think there will be hotels rooms at all times available?

  4. @Rustyjamesman

    Looking to do 2 weeks solo trip this fall! I did a week in Rome already and loved it and want to see the rest of Italy

  10. @mela4832

    Thank you for the helpful information and insight! Would you happen to know or remember if it costs to use restrooms there? I’ve heard mixed reviews but just curious.

  11. @barbart_

    theres so many mistakes in this video. Firenze-Venezia for 120 dollars?! it costs 57 euro…the gondola for two people costs 60 euro. what kind of budget trip is this lol

  12. @lyndatalamayan1426

    Thanks for sharing the details! My husband and I are planning to Italy and it’s our first time. Is it okay to share the names of your accommodation so we can benchmark? Thanks a lot.

    Planning to go to rome, Florence and Venice . Thanks a lot

    We choose Costco travel 10 days total.Rome, Florence and Venice. Flight, hotel and train for 5.240 for two. Im sure we could save more but is going to be our first time in Europe so we want it to make sure to be stress free.

    So, I found this video while watching videos of Italy and reminiscing about our family trip to Italy last year. I saw the shot of your gate board and was like holy crap that was our flight. Anyway I thought that was funny. Lol

    Love from italy ❣️
    Just a little advice, Do not stay in the city for too long, turn a little in the villages, it's cheaper and more characteristic, less marked by tourists

  17. @michaelmorrissette5691

    Great and very transparent video. What app/websites do you use to find such inexpensive hotels? Did you book super early? I am going to Italy soon (October)and hotels seem more expensive right now.

  18. @1301595

    Hi i'm actually shocked how cheap the hotel price per nights you guys got. I kept looking for hotel in Rome and most of it is over $100 dollars per night, what websites were you guys booking from/how did you find them?

  21. @aoefeable

    I’m going solo to Italy and France for a month next spring and this helps me with pre-planning!

  28. @roseliayatiz491

    Out of all the videos I've seen, this is the only one that was great in explaining the budget for a 2 week trip.. keep up the good work.

  31. @Jeana4life

    Found this video today and it's so funny because plan on making the same city stops except we are going to Genoa before venice and flying home from venice.

  32. @lailaaamir01

    Very nice and informative video! Unfortunately now the prices for all the hotels you mentioned have gone up to more then $200/night. Don’t know where to stay on budget now?!

  38. @ip3931

    So if someone booked a hotel and flight with a British airline … they'd still get charged this city tax?

  40. @stevenziko8842

    Wait…..you did all the budget prep/research to save money, but didn’t know women can’t show shoulders in the basilica?

  41. @DaPhenomAce

    Thanks! This helps a lot. Going to Italy at the end of May for 10 days and also flying out of DFW. Gonna try my best to stick to a budget
