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.
