Tuscany Travel Tips

Tuscany

Tuscany (Toscana) can rightly claim to have just about the best of everything: architecture, the country's greatest collection of art, soul-stirring countryside and some of Italy's finest fresh produce and best-known wines.

Most people are drawn to Tuscany by the artistic splendours of Florence and Siena or to view the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But Tuscany also harbours some of Italy's most impressive hill towns and there's great scope for walking, notably among the gentle green hills and valleys of Il Chianti or, for more vigorous striding, the Apuane Alps.
