Our second city/stop on the trip is Firenze for 3 nights. We'll arrive via train mid-day on Saturday, October 15 and depart the morning of Tuesday, October 18. I recall from my 2001 visit the beauty, art and relaxation of Firenze. It is a very walkable town with lots of amazing architecture and history. In brainstorming how to spend our time in Firenze we'll leisurely spend the first afternoon/evening exploring the many sites of the city; the different piazzas, the Arno and Ponte Vecchio, and the Duomo. Maybe even attend Mass in English Saturday evening at the Duomo.
The remaining two full days in Firenze we'll take advantage of some tours. On Sunday the 16th we have an electric bike tour booked through Viator in the late afternoon. The earlier part of our day will be left to explore the Mercato Centrale, stroll along the Arno, and enjoy the city.
Monday the 17th we'll be taking a day trip/tour with Avventure Bellissime from Firenze to Cinque Terre. This will be an all day adventure, and we're looking forward to learning from our guide about this precious area of Italy and seeing the beautiful small towns along the sea.
