I myself have had numerous trips outside of Italy, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them, but one of the faculty in CEA CAPA shared some wise words during our orientation hike that impacted how I decided to spend some of my weekends., Emphasizing that we should make sure to fully explore our new home and the surrounding area before deciding to take off every weekend, I made sure to take enough weekends in Florence to do just that., Luckily being here for the weekdays helps with that, and any weekend spent in Florence is never wasted., You can get to anywhere you want to go in the region pretty easily by bus or train, and all the locations are close enough for half- or full-day trips, yet are also worth staying the night if you feel like extending your time there.
