How to make the most of a 5-day visit to Tuscany
As a freelance writer and an night editor for a media intelligence company in London, I am lucky enough to enjoy a substantial amount of free time that provides great flexibility in terms of my work and holiday schedules.
As a great fan of Europe, I will be spending a considerable amount of time in Italy this summer as part of a new photography project. I will be staying in Florence for five nights, from which I will also be exploring numerous other destinations, including Siena, San Gimignano, the Val d’Orcia, Volterra, Pisa and Pienza.
When staying in Florence, you must make sure you devote an entire day to explore the city in full. Take a long walk up the steps of the Duomo to enjoy a magnificent view of the city’s skyline, before taking a long stoll up to the famous viewpoint south of the river, which commands one of the best sights of any Italian city. On the second day, consider spending the morning in San Gimignano, the ‘Manhattan of Italy’, before heading off to Siena, one of the most impressive settlements of the Roman era. If you can are hiring a car, you should consider making a journey to the Val d’Orcia in the far south of the region, which boasts spectacular countryside (with Caravan insurance as well), domainted by cypress trees and luxury villas. Another day can be spent in Volterra and Pienza, which are much smaller than Florence or Siena and as a consequence they tend to be a bit quieter during the peak season.
