Trip Summary

Florence and Tuscany are the perfect places for travelers who love to eat delicious food, soak up the sunset with a glass of vino, and enjoy relaxation at its finest. The city is absolutely stunning at sunrise (a jetlagged traveler’s dream). I highly recommend starting the day early to avoid crowds and see the city’s sights before it gets too busy. Then head out to the countryside to really embrace the slow Italian lifestyle. We chose to stay in the tiny town of Panzano, and it’s now one of my favorite places on Earth. The people are lovely, the weekend farmer’s markets are a must, and the restaurants in the town square are to die for!
