Florence and Tuscany from Civitavecchia

Independent rail trip from Civitavecchia to Florence and Tuscany's hill towns

Railbookers sells Florence and Tuscany from Civitavecchia as an independent rail vacation, meaning travelers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip is built for cruise passengers, starting at Civitavecchia, the port used by ships calling at Rome, and running 4 days and 3 nights in total. From there, travelers take the train to Florence to explore its museums and art galleries, then go on to tour the highlights of Tuscany, visiting the historic hill towns of Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano. The description does not say whether the Tuscany touring is also done by train. It suits cruise passengers who want a short, independent add-on covering both a major art city and the Tuscan countryside.
