The most beautiful places in Tuscany

Tuscany attracts like a magnet and is often considered the quintessence of Italy. Cultural wealth, a mild climate, the beauty of nature and delicious dishes are the charms of this region of Italy. We will find there wonderful cities full of monumental monuments, such as Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Grosseto, whose unusual atmosphere is at least partly due to their turbulent history.

Tuscany is a large region divided into several provinces. To visit the whole area, you need to spend at least a dozen or so days . It is worth seeing not only large cities , which are very popular among tourists, but also smaller towns and the beautiful landscapes surrounding them, filled with vineyards and olive groves .

From Siena to Grosseto

The southern region of Tuscany consists of the provinces of Siena, Grosseto and the coastline of the Ligurian Sea. The hills of this area are covered with vineyards. Their grapes are used to make Bolgheri wines. Inland, however, there is an amazing mountainous landscape - Alta Maremma .

During your stay in southern Tuscany, visit Saturnia . It is a famous health resort with natural hot springs with healing properties. Visiting Siena and Montepulciano is also a must. The first is an important tourist center where you can admire the ancient structure of the city . We will see there, among others the magnificent 12th-century cathedral with reliefs by Donatello, the Piazza del Campo market , one of the oldest universities in the world (12th century) and the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana del Duomo .

On the coast of Tuscany

The Tuscan coast is 32 km long and is very diverse in terms of landscape. Its northern part consists of long, wide beaches with fine sand , while the southern part is filled with rocky coves .

The most beautiful coastal towns in Tuscany are Livorno, Piombino, Castiglioncello and Castiglione della Pescaia. They are distinguished not only by a rich tourist offer, but also by wonderful monuments. In addition, 5 km from Castiglione della Pescaia, you can relax at the unique Camping Village Santapomata .

Lots of people who have stayed there confirm that it is an amazingly nice resort with very kind staff . Tourists also like the area around the campsite and its beach , situated in the central part of the Maremma coast.

If we are staying longer in Village Santapomata, it is worth adding that we will rest there in comfortable holiday homes with a kitchenette, bathroom, air conditioning, a comfortable bedroom and a patio. There are also plots with sanitary and electricity connections.

What is worth emphasizing are, above all, extremely clean beaches , marked with the "Blue Flag". In addition, you can also spend time actively there, practicing various water sports , e.g. canoeing, surfing, windsurfing. Many tourists from Poland also emphasize that the local restaurant serves exceptionally tasty dishes , and at the same time you can get to know the specificity of the Tuscan cuisine of the region.

Amazing towns in central Tuscany

This region of Tuscany abounds with picturesque historic towns and a unique landscape dominated by Alpine hills . It is part of a mountain range that runs through the center of Tuscany.

The province of Arezzo is home to the Casentino National Park , which is not only a beautiful natural site, but is also a center for hiking and biking tours. The most interesting cities in this part of Tuscany are Arezzo and Cortona .

Florentine charms

Northern Tuscany stretches out at the foot of the Apuan Alps , but also reaches the coast, where it is worth relaxing on the sandy beaches. This area is distinguished by a beautiful landscape and a rich cultural offer . However, the northern part of Tuscany is, above all, the amazing Florence , which is a must-see for any tourist coming to this region of Italy.

Florence is not only an important place for the development of European culture and art, but most of all amazing paintings, sculptures and some of the greatest Renaissance monuments . We will find there, among others The Uffizi Gallery, the Medici Palace, the amazing Church of Santa Maria Novella, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and much, much more. Each of them makes a great impression.

This is what Florentine charms are, this is what Tuscany is.
