best stops between rome and vienna for a 3-day trip
We’re planning a trip from Rome to Vienna, and we’ve got this awkward 3-day gap in between. We want to make the most of it, but honestly, the options are overwhelming. I’ve always wanted to see Assisi because I’ve heard it’s peaceful and full of history, but Salzburg is also calling my name—especially since I’m a bit of a Sound of Music fan. The problem is, the train routes look confusing, and I’m not sure if we’ll end up spending more time on the road than actually enjoying the towns.
Last time we tried to squeeze in too many stops, we ended up exhausted and barely remembered anything except the inside of train stations. This time, I want to avoid that mistake. Has anyone managed to balance sightseeing with relaxation on this route? Did you find any hidden gems or was it just a blur of travel? I’m torn between packing in as much as possible and actually enjoying the places we visit. If you’ve done this stretch, did you regret skipping certain towns, or did you wish you’d slowed down?
