My trip only included Verona and Tuscany and car rental. Verona is a beautiful town with a great public transport system. Its main attraction is the Arena and its surroundings; Lake Garda is only an hour away by car and is well worth a visit.
We drove from Verona to San Gimignano via the Ferrari factory. The toll roads were my choice for the drive as it was much quicker.
Tuscany was in grape-picking season and all the vineyards had grapes on the vines. The colours and scenery were spectacular.
The hills with the villages perched on top were great for countryside photos. Our drive from Tuscany back to the Venice airport was very pleasant along the freeway and much easier than I expected. We hired a Lancia Delta, which is a 4-door sedan and it was worth the extra rental charge to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. Bella Italia; it is well worth a visit.
