The two beautiful Italian cities of Pisa and Florence are easier than ever to get to with hundreds of daily flights into their respective airports. Easyjet, Ryanair, British Airways, and Alitalia all offer direct flights from the UK, which take just over 2 hours, making this area of Italy the perfect destination for a long weekend in the sun.
Rather than sticking with the tourists in the city, why not head out into the Tuscan countryside to Montecatini Terme, one of the largest spa towns in Italy. Here you can enjoy a luxurious break at the 5 star Montecatini Palace.
