Tuscany at an easy pace: 8 days
Tuscany for parents and anyone who'd rather not rush: just two bases, Florence with the Uffizi and the view from Piazzale Michelangelo, the flat walls of Lucca, Siena and its Campo, and one day in the Val d'Orcia countryside with a driver. No car needed, by train and bus, with an afternoon break. Book everything yourself and keep this guide on your phone: it works offline.

Fly into Florence, Pisa or Bologna; from Bologna the fast train reaches Florence in about 40 minutes, from Pisa about an hour. A direct bus runs Florence to Siena in about 75 minutes and stops right by the centre, whereas the train station is below the hill. Stay central and on the flat so you can go back for an afternoon rest.
