Our last day trip was to Siena, a small city within Tuscany. We left early in the morning (before 8am) to go to Siena since it take roughly two hours to get there. One extremely special feature of Siena is its cathedral. The Duomo de Siena (Siena Cathedral) is the only black-and-white building in the entire city. Just seeing the Cathedral and going inside made the entire ride worth it! Continue reading “Siena, Oh Siena…” →

Total: €92
Ticket per person: €46

Right after Vatican City, we had to go back to our Airbnb to pick up our things and get to Roma Termini to take the train to Pisa. We decided to stay in Pisa for two nights and go on two day trips to the following places: Cinque Terre and Siena. I was stuck between Siena and San Gimignano but decided to stick with Siena. Logistically, it might have made more sense to stay in Florence but Sam had already been to Florence so Pisa was the next best alternative. The Airbnb we stayed in is no longer listed on Airbnb so I have provided a close alternative (in location and in price) instead. Continue reading “Spending a day in Pisa” →
