Hi there,
My fiance and I are going to Italy at the very end of August for 9 days. We were going to spend about 3 to 4 days in Tuscany / Florence.. but we're not sure how to best plan out our limited time there. Can we base ourselves in Florence and cover everything that we want to do?
Of course we want to spend at least one full day exploring Florence and all the musuems etc.
We also want to spend some time visiting wineries and doing wine tastings. Are there any must see wineries that anyone can recommend? We weren't going to rent a car, so are there any organized tours we can take? or buses / trains that will take us there? Should we allocate a whole day for this?
Many friends have also recommended spending some time exploring Cinque Terre - is this possible in a day? and whats the best way to go about this?
Siena is also recommended - how far is it from Florence, and what must see sites / activities are there to see / do?
Any advice is much appreciated! We know its ambitous, but we don't know when we'll be back in Italy and want to make the most of our time! After Florence / Tuscany we will be heading to Venice for 2 days.
Thanks!
