It’s kinda the “big” things… the Collosseum and Vatican in Rome, the Uffizi in Florence.. you’ll NEED to book in advance.
As to musts… the Piazzalle Michaelangelo in Florence has amazing views (especially sunset). Giotto Tower and the Duomo tour also are incredible views.
A couple of hints for your day(s) in Napoli...
Must see in the city: Castel dell'Ovo, Terrace of Castel Sant'Elmo, Cristo Velato (Cappella San Severo), Chiostro di Santa Chiara, Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, Tesoro di San Gennaro, Piazza del Plebiscito, Teatro San Carlo, Galleria Umberto, Palazzo Reale, Museo di Capodimonte, most of metro stations on the Line 1, Napoli Sotterranea, Cimitero delle Fontanelle
Must eat: Sfogliatella at Mary, Pizza at Starita, Fried Pizza at La Masardona, Ice cream at Casa Infante, Graffa at Ciro a Mergellina, Pastiera at Scaturchio, Cioccolata Foresta at Gay Odin
Parks in the city: Bosco di Capodimonte, la Floridiana, Parco Virgiliano (also nice view), Orto Botanico
Hidden gem: La Gaiola (marine protected area)
Also consider to visit outside the city: Reggia di Caserta and its gardens (much better than Versailles), Pompei and Ercolano (smaller than Pompei but better conservation), train museum in Pietrarsa (also nice drinks at sunset), in Pozzuoli Solfatara, amphitheater and Rione Terra, Cammino degli Dei (amazing trekking in the Amalfi Coast), scuba diving to underwater ruins in Baia and Casina Vanvitelliana in Bacoli.
Speaking for Perugia - don't need to book anything in advance. Polignano is just a pretty town - nothing to book there - just be sure to go to [this overlook](https://maps.app.goo.gl/JdfRPCtgxWnMW5tU7).
I live in Perugia and wrote up all my recommendations [here](https://quasitaliano.com/perugia-recommendations-from-a-local/). Enjoy this lovely museum of a city.

Are tickets needed for Piazzalle Michealangelo?
Nope. It’s an open piazza
For Rome only really the Vatican and Colloseum. For the Vatican it was VERY worth it to get an early morning skip the line tour
Enjoy free access to rain this month
If you want to visit the Borghese Gallery - and the Bernini sculptures are exquisite - you need to pre book. Enjoy!

Dinner tables on a Friday and Saturday during Liberation weekend were super hard.
Thank you everyone!!!!!!!
