Your Destination —
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 crisp, full-bodied wine.
