Tuscany

[Saikiki]

Hello Everyone!

I just found out about Via Francigena. It seems very interesting and peaceful. I would only have about a week and half off from work. I don't know how feasible it would be. I would like to end up in Tuscany and fly home from there. Where do I start from? What can I accomplish in a week's worth? Can someone tell me what "credentials" are? What airport should I fly in from? Also, I am not a hiker. I read in other places that you don't need to be an avid walker to do parts of the VF. Basically, I don't know anything about VF and I have never been to Italy (actually never been to Europe at all lol). Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated.

May I suggest you look at the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome website (pilgrimstorome.org.uk). Also the Facebook Via Francigena page is extremely helpful. If you ask a question on there you will be deluged with answers. There is also the AEVF website. Tuscany is not flat, so you need to have some degree of walking fitness.
