Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, add a full day in Florence to explore the Boboli Gardens and the Medici Chapels, or spend an extra day in Venice to visit the secluded islands of Lido and Torcello. For a shorter stay, combine the Vatican and Roman Forum visit into a single intensive day and replace the Pisa day‑trip with a quick visit to the nearby town of Siena, saving morning travel time while still adding Tuscany’s charm.
