Overview

Rome to Florence takes about ninety minutes by train, which makes this genuinely doable in a day. A local guide walks you through the centre — the Duomo, the Baptistery doors, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio — with the stories that connect them. After free time for lunch you head into the Chianti hills to a family estate for a tasting of three wines with olive oil and bread, then return to Rome by evening train.

Highlights

  • Round-trip high-speed train from Rome
  • Guided walking tour of central Florence
