ULTIMATE<br />

TUSCANY<br />

Where to Go<br />

You won’t find it difficult to see why this is one of Italy’s most<br />

popular regions for visitors. You can see the home of the Italian<br />

Renaissance in Florence, with its grand Duomo and Ponte Vecchio<br />

spanning the river Arno, or travel to Pisa and see the famous<br />

leaning tower.<br />

One of the other great attractions in the region is San Gimignano,<br />

a medieval walled town with towers that soar above the cobbled<br />

streets below. However, we think the jewel in the crown of this<br />

golden coloured part of Italy is Siena, a grand old city with a<br />

stunning piazza, friendly locals, picturesque old buildings,<br />

exciting cuisine, and, of course, a heart-stopping city-centre<br />

horseback race each year.<br />

If golden sand beaches, a dramatic coastline, and the<br />

crystal-clear waters of the Ligurian sea are more your<br />

sort of thing, the Etruscan Coast is the place to go.<br />

Even though Tuscany is more famous for its hills<br />

and countryside, the Tuscan coastline is criminally<br />

underrated and a seaside retreat is a beautiful way to<br />

spend a few lazy days.<br />
