Small towns at your fingertips!<\/h3>\n

A day trip is a great way to break up your time in a city. It can be so rewarding to get away from the hustle and bustle of Rome<\/a> to a small town with a slower pace. Simply jump on a train and head to a new experience for the day.<\/p>\n

We’ve put together five amazing day trip opportunities when you’re in Italy<\/a>. All of these towns are accessible from major cities by train in an hour or so. Ideal to spend the day before returning to your guest houses<\/a> in the evening.<\/p>\n
