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 />
