I am looking for help with a florence centered itinerary that is mindful of july's heat. My partner and i will have 10 or so days, will be traveling into and out of florence, and are hoping to avoid the hassle of renting a car. Unsurprisingly, probably partially because we are from San Francisco, we are big on food and local experiences and are willing to go far and wide to get to those.
I imagine we'll be spending about 5 days in Florence, but then have far too many food/destination options for the little remaining time we have, whether traveling north to Bologna, Modena, and Parma or deeper into Tuscany or making our way to the coast to cool off a bit. I want to pace the trip well and be mindful of the heat.
Any recommendations on where to travel? I know there is really no going wrong, but it's still quite a challenge to make a decision and know where we can find unforgettable food/lodging/etc experiences. Any celebrations we should plan to for in the area between July 6 and 17?
Thanks in advance for any and all guidance.
