I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip centered around Florence next March. I have been to Orvieto as a day trip from Rome but my husband has not been there. I think I read that the train from Florence to Orvieto does not stop at the main train station at Florence and I'm also wondering if its a fast train like the ones we have taken in the past from Rome to Florence. I suspect Orvieto as a day trip from Florence is like Cinque Terra as a day trip from Florence-doable but is it enjoyable?
I am also planning to spend some nights in Bologna and do a day tour from there to Ravenna, which I have read is reasonable.
Thanks for y'all's input on our plans!
