9 nights left, where to go

Posted by on

I have a trip planned for May 2017 which consists of:

7 nights Montepulciano
7 nights Lucca

These two weeks are set.

I have 9 nights after Lucca which I have narrowed down to 3 possibilities and would like your opinion on which to visit. I have visited none of the areas in previous trips. The dates are May 20-29, 2017.

  1. Piedmont (split between Alba and Torino)
  2. Emilia-Romagna (split between Parma and Bologna)
  3. Lake Garda (split between Bardolino and Verona)

I have equal interest in all 3 areas and will visit the 2 "losers" on my next trip.

So question, after 2 weeks in Tuscany, where you would spend the next week?

Thank you.

I was just in the Piedmont (Asti, Alba, Torino) and Emilia Romagna (Bologna, Modena) in September. I've been to Tuscany a few times in the past. I would pick Lake Garda on this trip. You get a change up of the Tuscan scenery and towns and hit the lake area. Sure its a little bit further away and will have a couple of train changes to get there from Lucca but with 9 days you can afford a few hours on the train.

The Piedemonte and Emilia Rogmagna will make a solid next trip as starters.

I always figure you have several hours in the middle of the day after checking out of one lodging before you can check in to your next lodging anyway. Spending those hours on the train can be restful! I second Lake Garda.
