Your destinations —
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.
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.
Must-sees:
- Monterosso: The largest of the Cinque Terre villages, Monterosso boasts beautiful beaches, vibrant coastal views, and medieval charm.
- Vernazza: Known as the most picturesque village in Cinque Terre, Vernazza features colourful buildings, a charming harbour, and the iconic Church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia, perched above the sea.
- Riomaggiore: The first of the Cinque Terre villages, Riomaggiore offers dramatic cliffs, terraced vineyards, and a tranquil atmosphere.
Culinary culture:
Cinque Terre’s culinary scene is heavily influenced by its coastal setting. Indulge in fresh seafood, including anchovies, mussels, and clams, or try the region’s famous trofie pasta, often served with pesto, the Ligurian specialty.
Dive deeper:
Walk the cliffside paths between the villages for breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and terraced vineyards. Explore the lesser-known village of Corniglia, perched above the sea with panoramic views and fewer crowds, or take a boat ride for a different perspective of these stunning coastal towns.
Good to know:
Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its villages are connected by train, ferry, and scenic hiking trails. The best time to visit is during the spring or autumn when the weather is mild, and the crowds are thinner. Be prepared for steep hills and winding paths – comfortable walking shoes are a must.
