Tuscany

Trip Planning & Itineraries

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.

Suggested Itineraries in Tuscany

As you crest the hill coming from the east, the 14 towers of walled San Gimignano look like a medieval Manhattan. And when you arrive you might well feel that half of Manhattan has moved in. Within easy reach of both Siena and Florence, San Gimignano is a tourist magnet.

Come in winter or early spring to indulge your imagination a little; in summer you'll spend your time dodging fellow visitors. Even then though, you'll discover a different, almost peaceful San Gimignano once the last bus has pulled out.
