Looking for a Florence adjacent activity. Current Itinerary is as follows:
Day 1
Arrive via train at noon, drop bags, lunch
wander - portions of RS walking tour
3pm Duomo climb
Other activities in Brunnelleschi pass
Day 2
Mercato Centrale
10am Accademia - skip the line
Hit the rest of Bunnelleschi pass attractions
2:30 Uffizi
Wander (suggestions?)
7:30 dinner reservation (near Ponte Veccio)
Day 3
Wide open, but this day will include my daughter who will have been in Florence 12 weeks and hit most attractions. I'd like to do something outside the city. Ideally, I'd like to mix up what we see - I fear being muesum'd and church'd out
I'd love seaside option but am striking out -- also trip is early April so not the warmest. Cinque Terre was top choice, but seems insane and is now off list. We will have already been to Orvieto and and Venice earlier in the week.
There are 1/2 day winery tours tours to Chianti that could work. However, I know people don't like Viator much Any recommended companies? Reviews are either wonderful or terrible It seems like you really roll the dice.
Lucca on our own? Siena could work also but not really that interested in Pisa.
Am I missing something? Rent a car for the day? Though its not my favorite option.
Will likely wait to lock this free day in until much closer to travel time. My daughter may hit Lucca on her with her class before I arrive and I don't want to repeat with her. That said, multiple ideas are welcome.
Thanks!
