We're in the process of booking accomodation and flights for a family holiday in northern Italy this summer. Having never been before I'm wondering whether to hire a car to give us more flexibility or whether to use public transport.  I've driven in France a couple of times and survived but I'm probably leaning more towards letting the train take the strain these days.

Are there train/bus links for the trips you want to take?

I've done both, public transport can add a bit of adventure. Then again, so can driving. I've never had any issues driving in Italy, including Sicily for a few weeks and Southern Italy. I've not driven in the cities though, I probably wouldn't hire a car if I was based in central Rome, Naples, Milan etc.
