Day Trips from Pisa by Campervan: Lucca, Florence and the Coast

Quick summary: A campervan makes Pisa a base for exploring northern Tuscany. Lucca’s walled city is a short drive away, Florence is a little over an hour, and Siena, San Gimignano and the Chianti vineyards make longer days. For the Cinque Terre, drive to La Spezia and continue by train, as the villages are restricted to traffic. Guided tours are an alternative for wine tasting days and busy cities where parking is hard.

Should you drive or take a tour?

Drive for flexibility, but choose a tour for wine tastings and for Florence, where ZTL zones and limited parking make driving hard. See half-day tours.
