Travelling to Italy: fly into Tuscany or Milan on New Year’s Eve?

E Z asked:


We are taking a 2 week trip to celebrate our anniversary in December and have two flight options when we arrive in Italy (from Paris) on New Year’s Eve….

1. Fly into Milan at around noon. Rent a car in Milan and drive to Bologna. (3 hour drive)

2. Fly into Tuscany (pisa airport) at 6pm. Rent car and drive to either Sienna, Florence, or somewhere in the countryside.

We’ve never been to italy and we don’t speak italian. One concern is that arriving a bit late on new year’s eve might be hard to navigate our way around. For example: maybe things close early….?

In terms of ease and general New Year’s Eve fun…. can anyone recommend option 1 or 2………….. and why?

    I’ve been to Italy and all the places that you have mentioned. My personal opinion is to fly into Tuscany. Almost everyone in the major area’s will speak enough English to get you around. The Tuscany route will be more scenic and laid back, but if you are wanting more of a party/urban feel do the Milan route.

    Of all the places that I visited while in Italy, Florence was the best…next to Venice! So yes…my vote goes to the Tuscany route…much more romantic!

    Hi I have lived in Italy,
    and I know it very well It depends on you, you have to make up your mind to decide what to see and what to do…
    My opinion is to fly to Tuscany because it is so wonderful, but if you like driving and have a trip around North and middle Italy you can fly to Milan rent a car there and drive trough the country to Tuscany Milan Florence ET I think 4.30h 5h but wonderful landscape and on new year’s eve there isn’t a lot of traffic,
    I have a contactable mail on Answer fell free to contact me if you want some more information, I will be glad to help more.
