Now that we’ve settled on a hotel its time to<br />

plan what you’ll do on your weekend getaway.<br />

Most people visit the Tuscan countryside for<br />

its spectacular national parks. We re<strong>com</strong>mend<br />

the Maremma Regional Park, a huge park<br />

that offers many types of landscapes for<br />

visitors to explore. It stretches to the coast<br />

so you can spend a few hours at the beach,<br />

visit the idyllic hills of Uccellina, discover<br />

vast lush forests, or maybe check out some<br />

farmhouses for authentic produce. Popular<br />

activities include horseback riding, hiking,<br />

canoeing, birdwatching, and even bathing in<br />

the thermal springs. Another fantastic option<br />

is the Montioni Interprovincial Park, this offers<br />

more in the way of history, the area is rich in<br />

remains from pre-historic settlements, the<br />

Etruscan civilisation, the Roman empire, and<br />

medieval Italy. The Park is covered in dense<br />

native forestation and is teeming wildlife. We<br />

also re<strong>com</strong>mend checking out the National<br />

Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, the Livorno<br />

Hills Park, and the Park of Migliarino. The<br />

parks are a great way to spend a half or full<br />

day of your weekend getaway and provide the<br />

perfect balance between seeing the natural<br />

beauty of Tuscany and relaxing.
