Your destinations —
Tuscany
Overflowing with artistic masterpieces, extraordinary architecture and a thrilling history that spans from the Etruscans to the Romans and the Renaissance, Tuscany is a breathtaking holiday destination that promises a never-ending list of things to do, places to see and rolling hills to explore.
A holiday to Tuscany comes with many possibilities. The capital of the region, Florence, draws in millions of tourists each year, all of whom come in search of promised romance and charm on the city's narrow, cobbled streets, which have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Nestled on the banks of the Arno river, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a prime place to indulge in quality, Tuscan produce, soak up rich culture, and feast on some of the world's finest art.
One of Tuscany's other main draws is its verdant countryside, where rustic vineyards, peaceful olive groves and quaint villages can be found in abundance. Here, a stroll in the hills can easily result in a stop in one of Italy's most authentic and sustainable trattorias, where local, seasonal dishes are sure to delight alongside delicious, full-bodied wine.
Cinque Terre
Nestled along the Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a gorgeous region comprised of five colourful cliffside villages that are surrounded by dramatic hills and vineyards. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 15 km stretch of coastline is well known for its incredible hiking trails, picture-perfect views, and quaint village atmosphere, and makes for a memorable Italian coastal break!
The area’s five main villages all offer something different for visitors, and if you have the time, it’s worth visiting them all - the dedicated Cinque Terre train from La Spezia runs once an hour, and makes stops at them all. Riomaggiore, the first stop on the line, is the largest, with a clifftop medieval castle; the next stop, Manarola, is the place to try the Cinque Terre’s wine, Sciacchetrà, while further down Corniglia is unique in that it does not have direct access to the sea, instead of being perched atop a dramatic cliff. Vernazza has a romantic harbour, and Monterosso offers visitors a charming beach.
Along the coast, sample Pasta alla Genovese, with the region’s delicious pesto, or some traditional focaccia; or, discover some of the equally charming towns along the Ligurian coastline. La Spezia features a spacious port and plenty of charming trattorias, while Levanto is on the very cusp of Cinque Terre, and is the ideal starting point for a long hike along the coast.
