We are considering taking a day trip to cinque terre during our three day stay in Florence. Is it too far to travel in a day trip? And how would we get there by train?
red,
That's been a frequent question here over the last week or so. You may find it interesting to have a look at this Thread....
That's a very easy trip and certainly possible as a day trip from Florence (I know that, as I've made that trip).
There was also another thread about this topic that you may want to search. If you want to consider a tour company, Walkabout Florence has a day trip option from Florence to CT.
