Sounds ambitious but both my kids are athletes so I'm sure we can handle it for a day. Still haven't booked the hotel/apartment yet....so thats still on my to do list as well as book a few tours.
Any recommendations for accommodations (Hotels or apartments) and day tours are still welcomed. Would appreciate any favorite places to stay and why.
Thank you!!!!
We wrapped up our visit to Rome and took Trenitalia up the coast to Pisa and climbed the tower. We then took the train to Florence and spent the night. After visiting the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence the next morning, we took Trenitalia over to Venice and flew out after a couple of days. My recommendation would be to leave Rome early one morning and you'd be in Florence in 90 minutes. While it would be a quick trip, everything awesome is in walking distance of the train station. The train ride to Pisa is approx. 45 minutes. Climb the tower and catch a late train back to Rome. It's a lot to do in a day, but worth it. As an alternative, you may wish to start or end your trip in the Florence or Pisa area. Always check to ensure the attractions you want to see are open while you're there.
