[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Rome, not Tuscany.  Reason:  DO NOT plan to drive a car there if this is your first visit especially if it's only a week.

You can do plenty from Rome and have more options for train travel to smaller locations for day trips/hikes. [/quote]

I would not drive a car around the cities, especially since parking is impossible, but you do need a car to explore the Tuscan countryside.  The best way to travel from Florence to Rome is the high speed train.[/quote]

NP here. Is there no way to see Tuscany via public buses or arranged tours (like van tours, arranged by the hotel)?

I was hoping not to rent a car, deal with parking, etc[/quote]

You can certainly find organized bus trips if you want.  Or you could take trains or buses.  A car is more convenient and will let you visit smaller towns on your own schedule[/quote]

+1 - we rented a car and the driving was not hard at all in Tuscany. Returning the car in Rome was much harder and I am glad we did not attempt to try and drive into Rome.[/quote]
