Hello all
I will be in the Tuscany area for 10 days in May and wanted some suggestions
My friend and I will be starting off in Florence for 2 days, hopping to Siena for 2 days, then San Gimignano for 3 days and going back to Florence for 2 days before flying back home.
Accommodations have already been booked for all places. I will also have a rental car.
This will be my second time in Italy, but first time in Tuscany.
I have the usual things planned like going to Pisa and taking a day trip to Cinque Terre as well as dropping by Chianti.
What I need input/suggestions on are the activities within the region.
I'm a foodie and love wine as well anything nature related.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on places that are a must visit food and drink wise.
I've gone out of my way to go places for food.
Just to give a few examples - I went to Paris to dine at Le Jules Verne and Spain to dine at El Bulli.
So anything related to that would be appreciated.
I'd be interested in taking a cooking class of some sort. Probably in Siena or San Gimignano since both look like areas where this would be offered.
Also open to other suggestions.
Thank you in advance
P.S.
Can someone explain why it's not recommended to drive to Cinque Terre. It looks to me like it would be a faster option.
