We are renting a car in Milan in early June and driving to Siena where we have rented a VRBO for six (6) nights right outside the wall.
Any suggestions for a Tuscany itinerary?
We want to spend a day in Florence- best way to get there (train, bus, drive)?
Thank you
Take the bus into Florence unless your lodgings are closer to train station
(The bus leaves from the center)
Good day trips from Siena by car is driving to Pienza’s old town along the Val d’Orcia: https://lovefromtuscany.com/scenic-drives-in-tuscany/. Make sure you get an early start. After visiting Pienza go to Montepulciano.
Another good day trip is driving to San Gimignano and then to Volterra. Get an early start for this too.
Cortona can be another day trip.
Outside Siena's old town take a direct bus to Florence (1h 15).
Outside the walls but still on top of the hill? If not, look for one the escalators --- it can be quite a hike if you are at the bottom of the hill.
