My husband and I will be in Italy for 4-6 weeks arriving early December. We would like to "live" in a base area with the plan of exploring Tuscany mostly by train/bus with the option of an occasional car rental day. We are trying to decide whether to base in Florence or Lucca. We love food and cooking, museums, music, festivals and exploring! We prefer to be able to walk to bakeries, groceries etc when staying at base. While we may occasionally splurge on a meal, we usually prefer smaller, local restaurants/ coffee shops/taverns that we can walk to when traveling this way. We are having a tough time deciding between Florence and Lucca as a base and welcome suggestions.
Thank you!
Thank you!
