Highlighting the Unforgettable Things to do in Tuscany
There are so many things to do in Tuscany. From exploring ancient ruins and hiking scenic trails to sampling great wine and going sightseeing.
(firmenpresse) - Tuscany is an absolutely wonderful holiday destination. The region has reached worldwide renown for its charming medieval towns, artistic and architectural marvels, stunning countryside, and romantic atmosphere.
It’s no wonder that this area of Italy tops so many travellers’ bucket lists. There are plenty of things to do in Tuscany, so it can be hard to choose what to include on your itinerary. Here are some of the iconic experiences that you won’t want to miss out on during your holiday.
Explore the Historic Centre of Florence
Your visit wouldn’t be complete without touring the regional capital, Florence. Home to the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries, the Duomo, and countless medieval and Renaissance era buildings, Florence boasts a vibrant artistic atmosphere.
Wandering around the historic centre and viewing the finest collection of art in Italy is definitely one of the best things to do in Tuscany.
Visit the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages”
San Gimignano’s skyline is famed for its fifteen impressive medieval towers. These architectural wonders are reminiscent of New York, earning the hilltop town its nickname.
San Gimignano’s medieval charm has been wonderfully preserved, and you will enjoy fountains, palaces, and jaw dropping views when you visit. The town is also ideally situated for a day trip from Florence.
Sample Truffles in San Miniato
Truffles are expensive and difficult to grow, but the fungus is perfumed and especially delicious. One of the more unusual things to do in Tuscany is to take advantage of a visit to San Miniato where the most magnificent truffles are cultivated. Head out on a guided tasting tour around the town and you won't be disappointed. There are pretty squares and palaces to explore while you’re there, too.
Hike in the Alpi Apuane
Nature lovers will fall head over heels for the hiking trails in the Alpi Apuane. Though this area is known mostly for its marble quarries, the marked footpaths here definitely worth discovering.
The network of trails runs through valleys of beech and chestnut forests, and promises a fabulous array of blooming wildflowers in the spring. Keep an eye out for wildlife on your trek, as around 300 species of bird can be found here.
Discover Etruscan Ruins
Another of the great things to do in Tuscany is to head to the site of one of Italy’s best-preserved Etruscan archaeological discoveries. Populonia promises ancient ruins, fascinating history, and amazing views over the coast.
The Must Sees
Of course, there are many more amazing experiences that you will want to include on your plan of things to do in Tuscany:
Visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the Campo dei Miracoli
Taking picture postcard photos in the Val d’Orcia, one of the most romantic landscapes in the region
Walking along the fortifications of Lucca’s city walls
Going on a Chianti wine tour through the beautiful vineyards between Florence and Siena
Bathing in the natural hot springs of Bagno Vignoni

To make the most of your stay in this iconic and beautiful region of Italy, booking tours with a reputable operator is highly recommended.
