I do not hide the fact that I am an incorrigible "Italophile", and therefore I do not refuse any opportunity to visit this amazing country. This time we chose a citybreak to Pisa-Florence. But I also have a few tips on how to spend a longer time in Tuscany. The quickest way to get to the capital of Tuscany, Florence, is by flying to nearby Pisa and then taking a bus or train for an hour.
