I figured I’d start a new topic now that my travel plans are in place. I’ll be in Florence December 7-16. I’m looking forward to seeing lots of holiday lights, which it seems starts on the 8th. I arrive in the morning of the 7th, so I’ll have a little time to get settled in. I know I want to climb the Duomo again, so I’ll be reserving that ticket, but I probably won’t see the museums again. I’m thinking of taking the train to Venice and spending one night and I want to see Siena, Arrezo and Montepulciano since they apparently go all out for the holiday. I might also try to see Lucca again, but I can leave that out if there’s not enough time since I do want a few days just to wander Florence. Are there other places you know of that I really shouldn’t miss for the festive season?
As always, I appreciate any input you can offer. Thank you!
