Visit Tuscany

Tuscany, a tourist destination of excellence, is home of the most famous works of Renaissance art in the world and splendid bucolic landscapes with an ancient charm.

Holidays in Tuscany are synonymous with days spent in historic cities, prestigious museums, peaceful olive groves and famous internationally renowned vineyards. Tuscany was an important Renaissance cultural center and its architects, painters and sculptors have marked the history of European art; today a holiday in Tuscany therefore represents an immersion in the most famous artistic jewels. The local gastronomy is equally well known and characterized by genuine products such as locally produced oil and wine. The squares of the various medieval cities present splendid architectural masterpieces.

For centuries, tourists from all over the world have visited Florence and the reason is simple: the city retains all the charm and magic of its golden age that dates back to over 700 years ago. You can admire one of the most famous collections of Renaissance art in the world at the famous Uffizi Gallery and stroll along the Arno at sunset or, better still, on the historic Ponte Vecchio.

Few buildings in the world are universally known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, dating back to the 12th century and located within the splendid Campo dei Miracoli. All the local monuments are characterized by the Pisan Gothic style and include the Duomo, the Baptistery and the Camposanto.

Fiesole, located on the hill overlooking Florence, in a splendid panoramic position, tells of this city within the city, with a strong personality, a refuge for the greatest men of literature and art lovers. Unlike Florence, Fiesole is of Etruscan foundation and preserves important Etruscan and Roman remains in its vast Archaeological Area. Despite its short distance from the Tuscan capital, the city is able to offer a wide and organized accommodation network that you can find within our travel offers to Fiesole.

A self-respecting holiday in Tuscany must absolutely include the possibility of tasting the famous local gastronomy. Regional specialties such as “ribollita” and Florentine steak are famous throughout Europe, so don’t forget to try them if you haven’t already.

Tuscany is easily accessible by car and by train from all over Italy. The local bus lines are efficient and also connect the smaller centers. The best time to book your vacation packages in Tuscany is spring or autumn.
