My friend and his gf are going to Verona for a wedding which happens to coincide with her bday. She wants to do lake como for her bday the first week of September before they go to the wedding and invited a bunch of our friends along.
The plan is lake como sept 1-4, then they go to the wedding and everyone meets up in Siena about five days later before we all go to Rome and Amalfi. So there's a group of us that have about five days to get from lake como to Siena and we need some suggestions.
All of us have been to Florence and lake como many times, along with portofino, Milan, Genoa and Pisa so we would like to go to some places we haven't been. None of us have really done Tuscany outside of Florence. We haven't been to cinque terra, Verona or bologna or basically anywhere in between. I would prefer trains but we have all rented cars before so we don't mind doing that if it's easier to get to some off the beaten path towns.
So the question is if you had five days to get from Como to Siena, are there some must see places we should look into?
