    • June 24--St. Giovanni Day

      Florence May 6, 2013 at 9:05 PM

      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.

      Train or Plane

      Florence Apr 28, 2013 at 3:41 PM

      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.

      Best location to pick up rental car in Florence

      Florence May 9, 2013 at 12:54 PM

      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.

    • Cities in Tuscany besides Florence

      Tuscany Apr 20, 2013 at 1:33 PM

      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.

    • backpacktrip to Volterra

      by Charlotte&TheGuys Online Now Apr 3, 2011 at 6:47 AM

      Hi everyone, we're 5 youngsters between 18 and 20 years old and we're planning to do a roadtrip across Italy in August. Some of us have a driverlicense but not long enough to rent a car, so we're moving by foot, train, busses,... We were planning to take the bus from Firenze to Volterra, stay there for one night and go to Lucca the next day by bus. Many sites about busses are in Italian, which is a language none of us speaks.. we managed to figure out how to go by bus from Firenze to Volterra, but we're still searching for a way to go from Volterra to Lucca. Can anyone help us with that? We were also wondering what the best hostel/hotel/camping(we have tents) would be for the 5 of us, we're all students, we can live without luxury and we look for the cheapest way to stay a night at Volterra. thanks for trying to help us Charlotte

      Getting to Volterra from Florence

      by kathymof Online Now May 22, 2007 at 10:59 AM

      I am traveling to Florence in June and want to visit Volterra and San Gimignano. It seems that it is not that easy to get to Volterra by public transportation and that it takes a long time. The bus site is in Italian and I am having trouble with it. I don't want to sit on the bus all day with just a little time in Volterra. Would I be better of renting a car for a day and seeing both Volterra and San Gimignano that day? I would want to spend as much time as possible in each place, but especially in Volterra. Thanks

      Has anyone rented a Vespa in Volterra? We're staying at villa in between Volterra and San Gimignano for a week and would like to have some cheap transportation between the 2 towns. Any ideas on cost or where to rent? Do the dirt roads permit scooters? Thanks!
