We (my wife, 13 yo son and myself) are flying to Florence on June 17th and departing back to the States on June 30th. We have the following itinerary in mind, your comments, suggestions appreciated:
What would experts think about the following itinerary :
Florence 2 days
Bus to Siena, rent a car in Siena. Siena and around 2 days
Montepulciano and around 2 days
Drive to Pisa / Luca , drop off the car.. 1 day
Train to Cinque Terre. Stay in CT 2 days
Train to Bologna ( exploring Parma on the way ). Bologna 2 days
Does it make sense to have two bases - Siena and Montepulciano in Tuscany. ? Or we can explore all the places of interest from the either ?? What is the optimal town for the base ? We would like to do people watching, wine sipping after a busy on the road exploring Tuscany villages.
Thanks again
