Which experiences is Florence and Tuscany best for?
The countryside of Tuscany is a dreamscape of beaches and mountains, vineyards and whitewashed villages all bathed in the soft, golden light of the Mediterannean. Explore by foot or on a road trip and see as much of this beautiful region as possible. Epicenter of the arts and cradle of the Renaissance, Florence is the place to go to immerse yourself in paintings and sculptures galore. See work by some of the world’s most renowned artists from Leonardo Da Vinci to Michaelangelo at the famous Uffizi Palace - Italy’s largest art museum - and explore the collection of ancient sculptures in the beautiful Boboli Gardens. Tick off some of the city’s most iconic churches: the bright white church of Santa Croce, resting place of some of history’s big names from Michelangelo to Galileo, and the grand church of San Lorenzo which contains the tombs of the Medici family. Spend lazy afternoons wandering through the tangle of streets and browsing the city’s many markets on the lookout for fresh food, fragrant flowers and ornate antiques. Once you’re acquainted with Florence, take to the road to visit Tuscany’s other cities: Siena, Pisa, Lucca and San Geminiano.
