Yes, and the surrounding area rewards that approach. The Cinque Terre villages on the Ligurian coast are accessible within about an hour, and the marble quarry landscapes around Carrara are roughly 30 km (19 miles) away. Pontremoli, another historic Lunigiana town, is under 30 km (19 miles) north. A Daytrip transfer lets you request stops along your route, so combining two or three highlights in one day is straightforward without the complexity of coordinating trains or buses between small towns.
Fivizzano sits in the Lunigiana region at the northern edge of Tuscany. From La Spezia it is approximately 50 km (31 miles), from Pisa around 100 km (62 miles), and from Florence roughly 180 km (112 miles). The town is also well-positioned as a stopping point between the Ligurian coast and the Tuscan interior, making it a natural fit for travelers already moving between destinations.
Two to three hours gives you enough time to walk the historic center, admire the town's 17th-century fountain, visit the main piazza, and take in views of the surrounding Apuan Alps. If you want to venture out to the Medici Fortress of Verrucola â just a short drive from the town center â add another hour. A Daytrip driver can wait while you explore, so you control the pace and are never rushed back to a station.
Fivizzano has no train station and is not well-served by public transport, which is precisely why most independent travelers miss it. Reaching the town typically requires a combination of trains to Aulla or Pontremoli followed by infrequent local buses â a journey that can take several hours with connections and limited return options. A private transfer solves this directly: your driver picks you up from wherever you are staying and delivers you to the town center, with no timetables to manage.
Fivizzano rewards travelers who want to move beyond Tuscany's well-worn circuit. It suits history enthusiasts interested in Renaissance Italy, architecture lovers drawn to the Medici legacy and medieval fortifications, and anyone looking for an authentic Italian hill town experience without the crowds of San Gimignano or Montepulciano. It also appeals to those using it as a scenic waypoint between the Cinque Terre coastline and the Tuscan interior â a route that few tourists think to take but many find memorable.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
Fivizzano is one of Lunigiana's best-kept secrets â a genuine medieval hill town that draws curious travelers rather than tour bus crowds. Its Renaissance walls, the brooding Medici Fortress of Verrucola perched above the valley, and its unexpected place in printing history (Jacopo da Fivizzano introduced the printing press to Italy here in the 15th century) give it real cultural depth. Unlike Tuscany's more famous towns, you can explore Fivizzano at your own pace without fighting for space at every corner.
