I am planning a dinner at a restaurant in City Center Firenze with a group of friends on June 24. Some people have written back saying that June 24 is Saint Giovanni Day in Firenze. Is there anything I should know about that day in Firenze? Would it be a problem to go into City Center that evening?

Thank you in advance.

Are there any overnight trains or buses that run from Nice to Florence or Nice to Venice?

How long will it take to travel from the Port of Livorno where cruise ships land to the Livorno International Airport (Galileo Galilee airport)?

I'd like to know some opinions about poggerino.com as luxury accommodation solution in Tuscany. Regards

Will be in Florence for four days in September. Need information on renting an apartment for that period. Possibly from Sept. 26-30. There will be 4 of us.
Thanks

I will be travelling by train from Rome to Florence, arriving well before I check in to my accommodation. Are there places I can store my luggage so I can start exploring immediately?

How long does it take to travel by train to Florence from Nice? Is it better to fly or take the train? I thought there was a hi-speed train going to Florence from France.

We are arriving in Florence by train (SMN station) and need to pick up a car to drive to our rented villa in Tuscany. I remember getting a car in Florence before (but can't remember the pick up location) that was not too far from the Autostrada toward Siena.

We need to reserve our car with Europcar, but don't know the best location to avoid the ZTL.

Also EuropCar has a mid-size car Alfa Giulietta (or similar) they say will seat 5 people. We have 4 adults traveling together: In past travels to Italy it was just my husband and me and we had plenty of room. Does anyone have experience with a mid-size car with Europcar?

Thank you in advance for your response.

We are spending days in Florence at the end of June and will have a car. We have a few additional days. A couple of questions - do we need hotel reservations or can we play it by ear that time of year? Should we pick towns in advance or decide as we go? Do you have strong feelings on particular cities? Thank you.
