    Info on Via Francigena?

    As an alternative, you could to look at the Via Degli Dei (Bologna to Florence). It's 5/6 days walking through the Tuscan hills. You can also find our story of walking it last year via the above link. I wouldn't recommend one over the other: both are worth considering.

    Info on Via Francigena?

    Barb Here's some notes that we put together after walking the Via Francigena in 2022. We hope it's helpful (it includes a link to the accommodation we used). Both the Lightfoot and Cicerone guide books are very good. The official app is also good and really it's all you need for the Tuscan...

    LIVE from the Camino Via Francigena Sud

    Bob We really enjoyed the Magna VF, not many people walking but it has been well publicised so the locals have an idea of what you're doing. Recommended if you have 10 days or so when you finish the Sud (or want to return another time). Cheers https://our-wanderlust.com/2023/06/magna-via-francigena/

    what Camera option are people using

    We recently (2022) walked the Via Francigena and while reducing weight was a major consideration for us and we purchased some new gear to reduce it, we also purchased, and carried, a Sony RX100 M7 each. Modern phones are fabulous for quick photos, for not being obvious and for low light...

    Magna Via Francigena, Sicily

    The distances between accommodation will vary, it's mainly in the villages although there are some agriturismo places between villages. If your guidebook doesn't provide enough detail, it's worth considering getting a copy of the Terre di Mezzo book which has the latest accommodation...

    Magna Via Francigena, Sicily

    To be honest, while the signage is good, we couldn't be sure how it would be going south to north. However, if you have the guidebook and use their GPS tracks, it shouldn't be a problem. We highly recommend allowing some time in Palermo and Agrigento. Big apologies for the delayed response.

    Magna Via Francigena, Sicily

    Walking the Magna Via Francigena, we journey from coast to coast, crossing Sicily from Palermo to Agrigento. Over nine days we walk 185 kms (121 mi) following old pilgrim ways and the web of transhumance paths that once covered Sicily. https://our-wanderlust.com/2023/06/magna-via-francigena/
