Travelling through Italy is always a beautiful experinces. And most of the times we find ourselves lacking time to see everything, which we would like to when we are there.
However if you find yourself in Italy with a little time to spare on your hands, here is a suggestion how you can spend a day between Rome and Florence.
If you have more time and want to experience one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, take the Eurostar train from the Termini station in Rome and go to Florence. The trip takes you about 1h and 50 min and it is all worth it. You dart through Tuscany at 200 km an hour on your way to Florence and you see for yourself the undulating hills, the cypress trees and the on the top of the hill villas and agriturismi Tuscany is known for. And once you get to Florence off the beaten tourist track – do visit the market of Florence and dive into the colourful atmosphere, the smell of leather and the art of bargaining. You can find there some great gift to carry home – especially the pashmina shawls and the silk ties. I love going to Florence from Rome – even for a day and if you find the time do it and you will not regret it. For more Italy travellers inspiration here is a cool blog: www.italytravelnotes.com I do blog there myself and depending on which region of Italy you are interested in, you may find some great advice from travellers who have been in Italy for your next trip there.
