I frequently speak to travelers who say they are going to spend some time in Florence, and take a few day trips<\/strong>. If you’re spending a week in the city, Florence is a good home base from which to take one or two easy<\/strong> trips to nearby places in Tuscany. The Santa Maria Novella train station, located in the center of the city, quickly connects you to other art cities and charming small towns.<\/p>\n

Train travel is relatively cheap, and the timetables online are easy to understand. It’s child friendly, since you can walk around, and there are even toilets on board (bring your own paper and disinfectant). Some towns in Tuscany are only reachable by bus, on some pretty bumpy roads, and may require changes; I find this complex and uncomfortable. So I’ve developed this list of the easiest day trips from Florence by train<\/strong>, focusing on places you can reach in 1.5 hours or less, with no train changes.<\/p>\n
