Tips

If you need more time to savor the Tuscan countryside, consider adding an extra night in Greve in Chianti and a day‑trip to Siena; conversely, you can condense the trip by skipping the morning visit to Montepulciano and taking an early train from Rome to Florence, allowing a more relaxed pace while still experiencing the key highlights.
