About Tuscany
Tuscany embodies the Italian countryside fantasy: cypress-lined lanes threading through golden hillsides, medieval hilltop towns crowned by stone towers, and vineyards that produce some of the world's most celebrated wines. Beyond the postcard scenery, the region offers an unmatched concentration of Renaissance art in Florence, thermal springs in the Val d'Orcia, and a farm-to-table food culture rooted in simplicity and quality.
Things to Do
Chianti Classico Wine Trail
Drive or cycle between family-owned estates in the Chianti hills, tasting Sangiovese vintages paired with pecorino and cured meats.
Uffizi Gallery in Florence
Stand before Botticelli's Birth of Venus and trace the evolution of Western painting across fifty rooms of masterworks.
San Gimignano Tower Town
Climb the medieval towers of this fortified village and reward yourself with the town's award-winning saffron gelato.
Saturnia Hot Springs
Soak in the free, terraced limestone pools fed by naturally heated sulfurous water cascading through the Maremma countryside.
Agriturismo Cooking Class
Roll fresh pici pasta and prepare ribollita at a working farm, then feast on your creations under a pergola of grapevines.
Local Tips
Rent a car to explore the hill towns; public transit connects major cities but remote vineyards and villages require driving.
Fill up on fuel before heading into the countryside, as gas stations are sparse and often close for the afternoon riposo.
Visit Florence's Duomo terrace at sunset for a far less crowded alternative to Brunelleschi's dome climb with equally stunning views.
Shop at weekly outdoor markets in small towns for fresh produce, truffle products, and handmade leather goods at local prices.
