We are traveling to Italy in September & will be visiting Pisa, Tuscany, Cinque Terra & Rome. What entrance tickets should we buy in advance so we don't have to fight the crowds? What do you recommend that we should not miss. It's our first time to all these towns. We've been to Florence so we won't be going there.
Here is our itinerary:
Flying into Pisa from JFK. Just stopping at the Leaning Tower & the sites right there then renting a car for the drive around Tuscany. Staying in San Gimignano for 2 nights then staying at the HGVC at Borgo Alle Vigne for 3 nights. So we have 5 nights in Tuscany. Then driving to Cinque Terre & staying in Vernazza for 2 nights & dropping off the car. We are then taking the train to Civitavecchia where we are boarding a ship for 10 days around the Greek Islands/Naples/Turkey. Once we get off the ship we are taking the train to Rome for 3 nights & flying home from there.
Also, what are some favorite towns we need to visit while in Tuscany?
