Our 2 week Tuscany trip in August is fast approaching and we can use some recommendations for packing light and bringing the best shoes for the massive amount of walking we will be doing.
We will be visit Cinque Terre (3 days in hotel), Florence (3 days in hotel), Chianti (1 day in B&B), Buonconvento (6 days in Agriturismo), Venice (1 night in hotel) and Milan (1 night in hotel). We will use the train for the first part of our trip and rent a car for Chianti and Buonconvento.
Our goal is to each bring 1 roller/carry-on and 1 backpack, if possible. I have heard conflicting information about wearing shorts, but as it will be so hot in August, I cannot imagine not wearing shorts. Any suggestions for what to pack (for both men and women) would be most appreciated.
We are also looking for recommendations for best shoe options, as we know we will be doing a ton of walking. As it will be hot, as well as we will need good support, are hiking sandals (such as Keene's or Teva's) a good option (as well as appropriate)? Or are sneakers a better option? Or a pair of each? Or have you a better suggestion? We do plan to eat out most nights, so we want ensure we also plan for appropriate clothes and shoes for evenings.
Grazie!
