Tuscany: what to see and when to go

foodcalmnatureculture

Tuscany is rolling hills of vineyards and cypress trees, hilltop towns and some of Italy's greatest art, from Florence and Siena to Pisa and Lucca. It's a place to slow down: drive country roads, stay on a farm and taste Chianti and Brunello at the source.

What to see and do in Tuscany

  1. Siena

    The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, the striped cathedral and, in summer, the Palio horse race.

  2. Val d'Orcia

    The postcard landscape of cypress-lined roads, with Pienza and Montalcino (UNESCO).

  3. Chianti

    Wine estates and villages like Greve and Radda, between Florence and Siena.

  4. San Gimignano

    The medieval 'Manhattan', its stone towers rising above the vineyards.

  5. Lucca and Pisa

    Renaissance walls you can cycle on in Lucca, and the Leaning Tower in Pisa's Field of Miracles.
