Q:What are the best day trips from Florence?
A:

Florence is the perfect home base for exploring the gems of Tuscany and beyond. If you don't have a rental car and would rather not rely on public transportation, you can join a tour group on these top-rated day trips from Florence:

Q:Is Tuscany a day trip from Florence?
A:

Yes, Florence is the capital of the region of Tuscany, which means you can quickly get from the city of Florence to other parts of Tuscany on a day trip. Whether you’d like to explore Pisa, Siena, or Chianti wine country, you can reach most Tuscan highlights via rental car, public transportation, or guided tours from Florence.

Q:Can you do a day trip to Cinque Terre from Florence?
A:

Yes, you can do a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre—just be prepared to wake up early. The five towns of Cinque Terre are connected by a picturesque railroad and hiking trails, so it’s best to grab the train from Florence, which takes about three hours. Once you arrive in Cinque Terre, you can hike or ride the train from one seaside village to another.

Q:Is Lake Como a day trip from Florence?
A:

No, Lake Como is too far for a comfortable day trip from Florence, as it takes about 4.5 hours to get there by car and five to six hours by train or bus. However, if you plan on staying in Milan, it only takes an hour to train to the lakeside towns of Como and Varenna.

Q:Is Pisa a day trip from Florence?
A:

Yes, Pisa is the perfect day trip from Florence. Buses and trains between the cities run frequently and take under 1.5 hours. Once you get to Pisa, exploring the Leaning Tower, museums, shops, and other attractions on foot is easy.

Q:How many days in Florence is enough?
A:

That depends on how deeply you want to explore the city. Three days should give you enough time to see Florence’s cultural highlights, including the Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery, Brunelleschi’s Dome, Pitti Palace, and Boboli Gardens. However, you could easily spend at least a week strolling the city’s unique neighborhoods, tasting Florentine specialties, and even making a day trip to Tuscany.
