Taking a trip to Rome, Florence and Vienna at the end of May. Any suggestions welcomed.

How many days are you planning? How do you plan to get from Italy to Vienna?

The fastest train journey is 10 hours. Unless you have a stop in between, it would
be better to fly.

About 3-4 full days in Rome will be plenty but plan a bit more because of jetlag.
In Rome, culture is everywhere you look, can't go wrong.

3 nights 2 full days in Florence should be enough, but you could make other
side trips like to Siena, for example.

3-4 days in Vienna should do. Check out Castle Schnbrunn. It is beautiful
and historic. Sacher Torte in Vienna is where the original cake comes from.
The coffee houses are lovely.

I'm going to 9 days, 8 nights. I plan on staying 3 nights in Rome, 2 nights in Florence and the remaining 3 nights in Vienna. I'll be solo, so I think I'll be able to cover more ground.

Traveling by air to Vienna from Rome. I went for 12 days in the summer of 2016 to Dresden, Prague and Salzburg. This is a shorter trip, but I think It'll still be worth it.

Thanks for the tips EuropeanAg!

I would recommend basing around Lucca and taking day trips from there. You may be able to get accommodations around the city walls area at this time of year. Bus and rail will get you to Florence, Pisa and I recommend you book a day trip to the CinqueTerra. You can make your own dinner if you rent the right place and there are decent markets around. Don't forget to try the Buccallato (may be spelled incorrectly) which is a Tuscan sweetbread with drunk raisins and anise.
