Two days itinerary in Tuscany

Did you ever want to make an itinerary that allowed you to fully enjoy the “territory” you’re visiting in its hidden and beautiful sides??
Did you know that in less than 3 days you can experience some crazy adventures in Tuscany?

I followed this itinerary leaving on a Friday evening from Florence and touring Southwards until Sunday afternoon. That’s exactly 2 days, in which I saw a number of beauties and I had some crazy and unforgettable experiences in Tuscany. So if you stick to this itinerary you should fit into your “restricted time schedule” and at the same time still make the best of this area by seeing stunning landscapes and living unbelievable experiences.

If you do not have a car, you can book one (online it’s cheaper) or just jump into one of the many car rentals located in Florence. As I live in Florence the most convenient for me are the ones located in the Borgo Ognissanti Area, but you could easily take one at the airport in Florence as well as in the Santa Maria Novella train Station. My plan was to leave Florence around 6.30 pm towards San Gimignano, and then drive towards Siena, the Val D’orcia, to finally reach the most Southern area of Tuscany: the Maremma! For the return, I thought it would have been cool to drive along the Etruscan Coast: basically the road that from Grosseto takes you up to Livorno. With this itinerary I could have enjoyed both the cultural and historical side of Tuscany, visiting the old and suggestives “borgos” of San Gimignano, Siena and San Quirico but also relaxing and chilling out immersed in the beauty of the thermal baths of Saturnia and Bagno Vignoni.

DAY 1:

Aperitivo in San Gimignano:

That’s what we did, we left Florence at around 6:30 pm aiming to reach San Gimignano before sunset.
The road is easy and not too bad, there’ s a bit of confusion before you understand how the car park system of San Gimignano works, and yes if you’ve been asking yourself, there’s no free parking, all of them are private!
Once there, you should have a walk around enjoying the sun setting and the nice colours that are spread around the old walls and towers of the town. After your walk you should definitely enjoy a glass of the local whiteVernaccia wine.

Dinner in Siena:

Siena would be the perfect place for a nice meal and an after dinner walk in Piazza del Campo and in the tiny streets of the historical center.

Here is the second day of the itinerary!
