Tuscany 5 days with children (reply)
Hello nichoel,
San Gimignano as your base sounds great!
From that wonderful town, you will enjoy
many day trips. You can read this useful guide to some suggested
itineraries in Tuscany.
As to Cinque Terre, I am afraid I am going to disappoint you....but it is
not a feasable day trip from San Gimignano. Whether you go by car or by train, it will take too much time. Moreover going by car is not advisable at all because of traffic and the lack of parkings and if you go by train you must stop in two or three cities (Empoli, Pisa and La Spezia) and change train every time.
If you’re looking for beaches or typical towns why forget Tuscany? You can go somewhere closer to San Gimignano. You can read our recommendations about the most beautiful
beaches in Tuscany.
(read especially the section regarding Livorno and Grosseto, whose beaches are closer to San Gimignano).
I really hope I’ve helped you
Ciao and enjoy Tuscany!!!
