Eight-day itinerary in the North of Italy + Florence
If you're travelling from the UK, most cities (apart from Leeds 😢) fly to Milan Bergamo. Flights are usually relatively cheap as it isn't a very touristy destination.
You should make the most out of that, as Bergamo is genuinely stunning (I'm biased, but it's true).
From Orio al Serio Airport, you can take a taxi to Bergamo city centre or catch the 1C bus, which will drop you off at the Bus Station in the middle of "the new town".
