Your destination

Tuscany

Overflowing with artistic treasures, Tuscany is a timeless haven where ancient history meets rolling landscapes. From Etruscan origins to Roman marvels and Renaissance brilliance, this region is a journey through the ages. Beyond its celebrated cities, Tuscany invites you to explore serene vineyards, sun-dappled olive groves, and quaint villages that define its rustic charm.

 

 

Must-sees:

 

  • Florence's Oltrarno District: Venture beyond the Arno River to discover artisan workshops, hidden gardens, and authentic trattorias.
  • San Gimignano’s Towers: A medieval skyline framed by Tuscany’s picturesque countryside.
  • Etruscan Legacy in Volterra: Wander ancient walls and explore artefacts in the Guarnacci Etruscan Museum.

 

 

Culinary culture:


Tuscany's culinary heritage is as rich as its landscapes. Indulge in seasonal Tuscan produce, from creamy pecorino cheeses to fragrant white truffles. Pair these delicacies with Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino wines from the region's renowned vineyards. Don’t miss rustic panzanella salads or ribollita, a hearty vegetable soup traditionally prepared with stale bread. For a sweeter note, try cantucci biscuits dipped in local Vin Santo.

 

 

Dive deeper:


Beyond Florence and Siena, Tuscany’s smaller towns reveal unique stories. In Pienza, you’ll find a Renaissance utopia shaped by Pope Pius II’s vision, while the Carrara marble quarries offer a glimpse into the artistry that crafted Michelangelo’s David. For a different perspective, take a cycling tour through the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its cinematic beauty.

 

 

Good to know:


The local currency is the euro (€), and Tuscany enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, with spring and autumn being the ideal seasons to visit. Regional trains and buses connect towns efficiently, but renting a car offers the best flexibility for exploring the countryside’s hidden gems.
