Hey!
We are planning to visit Tuscany in mid June for 5 days 4 nights as below:
Day 1- Sunday : arriving into Pisa midday so will probably explore Pisa that day
Day 2 - Monday : thinking of doing a day trip to Florence, exploring Florence then coming back on a late train
Day 3 - Tuesday : Thinking of a day trip to Cinque Terre area, and back in Pisa for evening luminara festival
Day 4 - Wednesday : planning to rent a car and drive around Tuscany countryside
Day 5: not sure yet, return flight from Pisa in evening 8pm
Would be lovely if anyone could give suggestions on places to go to etc
I have heard cinque terre is v overcrowded so we don't mind visiting alternative coast town that is beautiful too
Or anything else you would change in general Guidance is much appreciated, travelling from UK!
Grazie!!!

Get an early start the days you visit Florence and rent a car. Good Tuscan day trips are San Gimignano and Volterra.
Do visit the Cinque Terre. It would be a shame to be that close and miss it.

You might want to switch this to a different day depending on what you want to see in Florence. Italian State Museums, such as the Uffizi, Accademia and Palazzo Pitti, are closed on Mondays. There is still plenty to see but if a couple of the biggies are on your list....

I'd personally swap Lucca for Pisa, but you can't go wrong either way!
