Sounds like a nightmare to me. I spent last weekend away with my 3 year old and my 18 month year old and would’ve been happier spending time on my own at Guantanamo bay.
Hope this helps

Pisa was nowt to write home about bar the area around the cathedral. Give it half a day at most. Bologna and Florence on the other hand....

Pisa is shit. Nowt there other than the tower.
Florence is incredible and Sienna is fab.
They were preparing for the horse race when i went to sienna.
We used the trains, cheap as out but never run on time

Cheers, not keen on taking the little one to florence, but really want to do Sienna.
Liked Sienna, but found Lucca a lot more relaxing and a bit less "touristy"
Florence would be dreadful for a little one I think. Too busy.
Very true. Had a 75 minute delayed train yesterday and every other one has been 10-15 mins delayed. Factor that in if you're travelling that way. Shame as well because the trains are excellent other than that.

I've been to Lucca loads of times and it is gorgeous and must more laid back that the tourist hoardes that clutter Florence. Over the years I've been to Florence on a couple of day trips from Lucca and didn't really enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, Florence is visually stunning but you quickly get sick of queuing as it is always rammed. The bairns will get bored standing around. I was also taken aback by the amount of police\ambulance sirens there. They never stop!
The centre of Lucca is very flat and largely pedestrianised so ideal if you have a bairn in a buggy. The old city walls are approx 2.5 km long and the top of them has been turned into one large circular park. Ideal for a picnic with the bairns. It is a beautiful walking city. In fact, I wish I was in Lucca now as I love the place

Go up the leaning tower towards the end of the day early evening. Avoids the crowds.
We called our Son's middle name Lucca after the town.

Sienna train station is about a 15-20 min walk uphill to the centre. I’d get a cab up with the kids

Another vote for Lucca.

Take a really good cringey holding the tower up photo. You could even allign yourselves in order of height to add to the effect. Hope that helps
