I heard there is a speed train that will take only 1.5 hrs from Rome to Florence. Or are we better off picking a city and staying there for 4 nights?
Two days is enough for neither.
Four days at a dead run remains inadequate for Rome.
Four days a'foot (with maybe an afternoon's side trip to the suburbs) will at least cover most of the major sights of Florence (although leaving Siena and "San Gmig" on the horizon.
Go to Florence.
