2025 Tuscany Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Italy's Tuscany 🇮🇹 has a Mediterranean climate, and February is winter. Although the temperature is not particularly low, around 5-15°C, it rains a lot. Imagine you plan to walk in the fields and enjoy the iconic pastoral scenery, but it rains all the time, which will not only affect your experience, but also make the beautiful scenery less attractive. Moreover, the grass has not completely turned green at this time, and the scenery does not have that vibrant feeling. · 🎈Best time to visit The best time to visit Tuscany is actually from April to October. From April to May, wildflowers bloom all over the mountains, and the green grass is like a huge velvet carpet. The pastoral scenery is full of spring vitality. September to October is autumn, when grapes are ripe, making it a good time to experience grape picking and wine making, and you can also see the autumn scenery. · 🏰Attractions 🔺Siena: A medieval-style town, the shell square in the ancient city is a must-see. The famous Siena Horse Race Festival is held here every year. 🔺Florence: The birthplace of the Renaissance, the Uffizi Gallery houses a large number of Renaissance paintings, and the Michelangelo Square offers a panoramic view of the city. 🔺San Gimignano: Famous for its many towers, it is known as the "Medieval Manhattan". Walking on the ancient streets, you will feel like you have traveled back in time. · 🍷Food recommendations 🔺Florentine steak: Made from local Chianina beef, it is tender and juicy, grilled to medium rare, and the aroma of the meat fills your mouth with every bite. 🔺Tuscan bread soup: Made with stale bread, vegetables, and olive oil, it is rich in flavor and a traditional local delicacy. 🔺Tiramisu: Although its origin is controversial, Tuscan tiramisu has its own unique flavor. The sweet mascarpone cheese and coffee liqueur-soaked ladyfingers are very satisfying. · ✅Recommended itineraries (Transportation + attractions + guide) 🚩Florence round-trip 💰San Gimignano + Chianti + Siena 💰Leaning Tower of Pisa + San Gimignano + Siena 💰Montalcino + Pienza + Montepulciano 💰Val d'Orcia + Pienza + San Gimignano 💰San Gimignano + Siena + Pienza + S/Cypress Avenue 🚩Rome round-trip 💰Montepulciano + Sant'Antimo + Pienza 💰Orvieto + Civita di Bagnoregio + Montepulciano 💰Pienza + Montalcino + Sant'Antimo

A wonderful day tour from Florence on our 2019 Italian Trip. While the weather was a bit grey (it was December after all) we were lucky because it only rained while we were on the bus travelling between quaint Tuscan towns. Starting our day earlier we boarded a motor coach from Piazzale Montelugno heading out of the city towards the Tuscan country side. It wasn't long before we started to see the rolling green hills that are strongly associated with the Tuscan region. Our first stop was San Gimignano with its local handcraft stores and stone architecture. We were given a bit of time to wander here and explore however we pleased before returning to our bus to carry on to Monteriggioni. It was a short stop here as most everything was closed for the season however it was good to walk around the walled town. The history in this town was very apparent. Our next stop was Siena where we dined on delicious Tuscan inspired food before spending so free time walking around. The town was much bigger than I expected and a lot busier. Our final stop of the evening on our way back to Florence was a cute little kitschy vineyard in the Chianti region where was sampled a number of their own produced wines. A very enjoyable experience. #gooutside

#Overseas Travel We arrived at Colle di Val d’Elsa, a small town located on a hill in Tuscany. This place has not been touristized, and the atmosphere of the ancient city is retained in every corner. Here you can truly enjoy the small town style and beautiful pastoral atmosphere, and feel that tranquil Tuscany is a pure paradise! It's really nice to see the scenery from the ancient city on the hill. It is located between Siena and San Gimignano. It takes about half an hour to take a bus from Siena to Colle di Val d’Elsa. This is one of the must-go places on the famous walking trail Via Francigena💛 #Overseas Travel #Italy Travel #Europe Travel

In the area near Siena the landscape is so pure, characteristic and imprinted on our minds as the quintessential image of Tuscany that it’s part of UNESCO World Heritage site list. Hills and ravines comprise the countryside, but it’s the cypress trees that steal the scene, surrounding isolated hilltop hamlet and marking roads in tidy rows. The river that gave its name to the valley is little more than a brook, which dries up for most of the year due to the summer heat, but returns with force with the autumn rain. Oak forests, olive groves and vineyards that produce Brunello and other fine Tuscan wines extend across the hillsides, next to characterful monuments and villages. Italy’s oldest extinct volcano in Italy, Monte Amiata, hems in the landscape to the west. Tracing the curvature of the hills, start exploring from on high, at Radicofani Fortress, boasting views across the valley. Next, head for romantic Pienza, the ideal city and the setting of Zeffirelli’s film “Romeo and Juliet”. Delve into the cypresses of San Quirico, skirting Castiglione and continuing to Montalcino to sip a fine Brunello. With your senses fully awakened, a visit to San Giovanni d’Asso’s Truffle Museum is a must. To unwind after all your travelling, stop in Bagno Vignoni, famous for its striking thermal water baths in the town square, and Bagni San Filippo, where water rises from the heart of the volcano, gushing forth and creating concretions of rare beauty, a source of health and wellness for millennia. #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

Tuscany with its vast meadows ✔️ If you want to truly feel Italy while drinking Italian wine with steak while looking at the background of the window screen, be sure to take a winery tour. ✔️ Maximus' house is a must-see photo zone. There are many ways to get there, such as renting a car or taking a tour. Renting a car is not recommended even if you are confident in driving because of the ZLT (vehicle-free zone_you may not be able to see it well and enter without knowing it). ✔Gelateria Dondoli in San Gimignano, a small city in the Tuscan region, is a gelato champion shop. Personally, it was the best gelato I've had in Italy.

A lot of towers and halls. historical.

Explore Tuscany with a roadtrip, experience the charm of the old town, vineyard views and beautiful routes that everyone will love! . 🚘 Car rental Prae rents a car from Noleggiare 🚗 is an Italian company with more than 40 branches throughout Italy. Both small and large cars, vans, very good prices. Book in advance 2 months. At that time, I got it for 1,570 baht, automatic transmission, Toyota C-HR Hybrid (excluding insurance, life is at risk 5555555 But pay for the driver's age under 25 years old) For driving like this, it is enough for two people. When returning the car, we went to fill up the gas near the airport. I won't talk about how to fill up the gas. I spent a lot of money without knowing. 🥲 . This trip, we base ourselves in Florence. Continued from the previous post. Let me tell you in advance that the pictures will be a bit dark because there is no sun. 🌦️ . Start the trip. 🛣️ - Pick up the car at Florence Airport. ✈️ Travel to various cities and enjoy the views. The alternating hills are the charm of Tuscany. Even without the sun, it is still beautiful. If it's sunny, it should be super beautiful❤️🔥 . 🚕San Gimignano San Gimignano The first city to visit is a medieval city in Tuscany, famous for its 14 tall towers that still remain, earning it the nickname "The City of Beautiful Towers". Amidst the beautiful vineyards and hills, this city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The atmosphere is charmingly rural. Orange City, Prae came to eat Gelato 🍨 Luay Gelateria Dondoli received the Gelato World Champion 2006/2007 • 2008/2009 and Tuscany Best Gelato 2015. The taste is considered good. The line is long but fast. I personally like the olive trees here very much. It's so cool. 📍Parking is paid. 🚕Val d'Orcia Popular viewpoints or pin Cipressi di San Quirico d'Orcia, Punto panoramico sulla val D'Orcia on gg maps. The view is very beautiful. There are Cypress trees in a circle. It's familiar to movie lovers. You can walk in. The opposite side is also beautiful. It's like the picture in the window. Viale di Cipressi del film IL GLADIATORE is another place that you can see often. And drive this route until you reach Pienza. The view along the way is great. You can park your car on the side of the road (safely) and get off to take pictures all the time (but most people park there, so they park there or there is a side of the road that looks like a real parking lot, then park 📍Parking on the side of the road . 🚕Pienza A small town (really small) where you can see the view of the valley from the viewpoint. At first, I planned to find lunch here, but I didn't have much time, so I decided to buy just one sandwich each and go back. I was disappointed. Actually, if anyone has time, I recommend going to Monticchiello as well. 📍Parking at the parking lot but not paying . 🚕Montalcino Another small town, but I came here just to taste the wine, so I went into the city for a bit. The world-famous wine is Brunello di Montalcino. I wanted to go on a Wine Tasting Tour, so I chose the vineyard and winery myself from not knowing much about wine and the convenience of the plan. What I chose was Ciacci Piccolomini D'Aragona 🍷 I didn't feel disappointed at all. I went on a private tour (booked directly with this place and sent an email). It's considered good, it's a winery that has been passed down through the generations. Explained in detail. Really saw everything from being in the vineyard to the packing method for export. There is 1 fox at the farm. It is quite timid. The owner took it in to raise. For other details, I would like you to try listening to it yourself. But it was really amazing for me because I didn't know anything lol (I would like to make a separate post for booking. It is quite detailed. And in case it is a guideline for others) 📍Stop at Ciacci Piccolomini D'Aragona vineyard and on the side of the road . 🚕Siena A medium-sized city. Compared to other cities, I recommend coming early. When I arrived, it was already dark and it gave me another feel.👻 There are many things to explore in the city. There are quite a few shops. Must-visit places are - Piazza del Campo The city square is shaped like a half circle. In front, you can see Palazzo Pubblico, Torre del Mangia, which you can go up to see the view. But I didn't go up there because it was closed. ;-; - Duomo di Siena is a cathedral decorated with alternating black, white, and green marble inside and out. But only in front, we will see that the decoration is almost red pink. - La Taverna del Capitano It's time to taste the local food here, Pici, a type of pasta. It is a long noodle made from sticky flour and does not contain eggs like regular pasta. It's delicious. 🍴 📍Park on the side of the road. Finish the trip, return the car. 🫶🏻🚘 Everything is safe. . I recommend that those who have time may stay here for 1 night and then go to Cascate del Mulino-Hot Spring. I really wanted to go, but I didn't have enough time;-; . Another long post, haha. Don't forget to show off your pictures. 📸 I think everyone must like Tuscany with its alternating hills and valleys. If you are not comfortable driving yourself, you can buy a tour to travel as well. Note: Went in early May'23 _________ #Italy #TravelEurope #Tuscany #Siena #montalcino #Europe

Tuscany under the sun is full of healing greenery, with the breeze and greenery of a Miyazaki summer🍃, and hillsides blooming with poppies🌺 « Landscapes from paintings, poems from the countryside, Old towns from movies, and scenes under the Tuscan sun, People romantically fictionalize their lives on this real land…

Tuscany, the name itself is like a glass of fine red wine, intoxicating from the first sip. Every time I think of it, images of golden sunlight, azure skies, and endless green fields come to mind. It's that feeling of being completely absorbed by the scenery, where everything else fades into insignificance. Many can't help but sigh: "This is where I want to spend my life!" wanting to dedicate all their time to experiencing Tuscany's charm. The sunshine and air here carry a sweetness, and any corner you choose becomes the backdrop for envy-inducing travel photos. Speaking of travel photos, I must recommend a few must-visit spots: 1️⃣ The S-shaped cypress trees at Agriturismo Baccoleno are a total internet sensation! When I was there, every shot I took felt like a masterpiece. 2️⃣ The double row of cypress trees on Viale di Cipressi might not look that stunning from the front, but the side view is absolutely breathtaking! 3️⃣ The circular arrangement of cypress trees at Cipressi di San Quirico d'Orcia, standing amidst a vast lawn, exudes an indescribable romance and poetry.

Tuscany, a dreamy region in Italy, unfolds like a picturesque pastoral painting, brimming with artistic flair and natural charm. This guide will help you experience its unique allure. Preparation Visa: Obtain a Schengen visa in advance and prepare all necessary documents to ensure a smooth process. Clothing: Tuscany's weather can be unpredictable, so pack light clothing, warm outerwear, and comfortable walking shoes. Daily necessities: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera to capture the beautiful scenery. Pack essential medications in case of minor ailments. Transportation Arrival: Fly to Florence Airport, a major transportation hub in Tuscany. Local transportation: Renting a car is the best option for traveling freely between towns. Public transportation, such as buses and trains, is available, but services are limited, and some towns are difficult to reach directly. Attractions Florence, the capital of Tuscany, boasts numerous attractions. The Uffizi Gallery houses a vast collection of Renaissance masterpieces, including Botticelli's "Birth of Venus," each painting showcasing the pinnacle of artistic achievement. Climb to Piazzale Michelangelo for a panoramic view of Florence, where red rooftops contrast beautifully with the Arno River. Siena, a medieval city, features the unique shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, one of Europe's largest medieval squares. The Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia stand majestically, surrounded by distinctive architecture. Walking through Siena feels like stepping back in time. San Gimignano, known as the "Medieval Manhattan," is famous for its numerous towers. The town is well-preserved, with narrow streets lined with ancient buildings. Ascend one of the towers for breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. Food Recommendations Tuscan cuisine is rich and diverse. The traditional Florentine steak, made with high-quality local beef and cooked to perfection using unique methods, is tender and juicy. Enjoy various pasta shapes with different sauces, each offering a rich flavor. Indulge in desserts like Tiramisu, a delicate combination of coffee and cheese that leaves a lasting impression. Don't miss the local wines; savor the rich, fruity flavors at a vineyard. Accommodation Choose a hotel in Florence's city center for convenient access to major attractions. In the countryside, charming guesthouses offer an authentic local experience, allowing you to wake up to the sounds of birdsong and enjoy the idyllic scenery.

🚗 Transportation: Don't Let the Train Drive You Crazy, Self-Driving is the Best** The beauty of Tuscany is hidden in the country roads that even navigation systems can't find. Rent a small car (a Fiat 500 is the most appropriate) and drive through the rolling vineyards and sunflower fields. Any shot you take will look like a sequel to "Under the Tuscan Sun." ⚠️ Warning: Tuscan drivers drive like they're in "The Fast and the Furious." I recommend buying full insurance. Don't ask me how I know. --- 🏡 Accommodation: Can't Afford a Castle🏰? Then Stay on a Farm! Want to experience the life of a medieval aristocrat without emptying your wallet? Agriturismo (farmhouse B&B) 🏨 is your savior! - ✅Recommended: - ✅Fattoria Poggio Alloro (near San Gimignano) – Stay in a vineyard, with breakfast included and wine🍷 tasting. The owner might even get you tipsy. - ✅Podere San Lorenzo (near Siena) – Super cheap old stone house where you can see the stars at night and be woken up by a rooster🐔 in the morning (vintage alarm clock⏰, free!). 💰 Price: €50–€80/night, cheaper than a hostel in Florence! --- 🍝 Food and Drink: Tuscans Teach You "Carbs with Carbs" The Italian logic for eating: **"Not enough bread🍞? Have some more bread!"** 1. Must-try foods: - ✅Ribollita (vegetable and bread soup) – It's basically just leftover bread stew, but the Tuscans have turned it into a non-material cultural heritage food. - ✅Pici Cacio e Pepe (thick noodles + cheese + black pepper) – Even better than in Rome, the noodles are thick enough to jump rope with. - ✅Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone steak) – I recommend sharing one steak between three people, otherwise your wallet will be "grilled" like the steak. 2. Wine🍷 Freedom: - ✅Chianti Classico – You can buy a decent bottle for €5, cheaper than mineral water! - ✅Brunello di Montalcino – Pretend you know a lot about wine, take a sip and say, "Hmm, I can taste the oak." (Even if you can't taste anything) 3. Money-saving tips: - ✅Go to an Enoteca (wine bar) for lunch, order a glass of wine and get free snacks, enough to fill you up! - ✅Buy Prosciutto (ham) + Pecorino (sheep cheese) + bread from the supermarket. A picnic is 100 times better than a restaurant! 🍞 --- 🎪 What to Do: Besides Daydreaming, What Else Can You Do? 1. Florence: - ✅Uffizi Gallery – See Botticelli's "Primavera" and think, "Why isn't my life this beautiful?" - ✅Piazzale Michelangelo – Climb up and pant like a dog, but the sunset is so beautiful that you'll forget who you are. 2. Siena: - ✅Piazza del Campo – Lie on the ground and bask in the sun, pretending to be a medieval tax-evading merchant. - ✅Siena Cathedral – The black and white stripes look like a pedestrian crossing. Walking inside makes you feel like you're about to travel through time. 3. San Gimignano: - ✅Medieval Towers – Your legs will be weak when you climb up, but the view will make you forget your fear of heights. - ✅Gelateria Dondoli (World Champion Ice Cream) – The pistachio flavor is so good you'll want to change your name to "Pistachio." 4. Val d'Orcia: - ✅Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta – Take a photo like the "Windows desktop" wallpaper. - ✅Bagno Vignoni Hot Springs Town – Soak in the same hot springs as the ancient Romans and imagine you're Caesar (but your wallet is a slave). --- 💡 Ultimate Money-Saving Tips - ✅Don't eat in the scenic area. Walk a few steps into the alley and the price will be cut in half. - ✅Buy a Tuscany pass to enter churches and museums. It's cheaper than buying tickets individually. - ✅Learn a few Italian phrases: "Quanto costa?" (How much does it cost?) + "Troppo!" (Too expensive!), and the owner might give you a discount.

| Tuscany, Italy. If you want to experience the Italian "dolce vita," come to Tuscany~ Under the Tuscan sun, discover the little joys within your heart and savor the delightful moments of leisure~ In my opinion, travel truly has its own meaning. "Sometimes, to achieve the life you desire, you must be brave enough to give up certain things. There is no justice in this world, and you can never have it both ways. If you want freedom, you must sacrifice security. If you want leisure, you cannot gain achievements recognized by others. If you want joy, you don't need to care about the attitudes of those around you. If you want to move forward, you must leave where you are now." — Frances Mayes, *Under the Tuscan Sun* [Italian Romance] ☀️ Rome - Tuscany - Pisa - Florence - Venice - Milan, check them all off your list! 💕 Explore the fairytale world of your dreams - Tuscany: Cypress-lined roads + the "ideal city" of Pienza 💎 World Heritage town: Pisa, where you can discover the charm of "slash art" 👑 Ride the same train featured in Miyazaki's *Spirited Away* to Venice Island ⚓ A gondola ride will take you through the waterways of Venice 🪶 Florence, where you'll feel like you've stepped into a natural art sculpture museum 🎉 Milan, the fashion capital, stroll through it and truly feel the city's passion and style 💫 In-depth tour of the ancient city of Rome, listen to the stories of its millennial history, and relive the *Roman Holiday* [Recommended Itinerary]: Join a tour in Rome, a premium 6-person tour in a Mercedes-Benz van Day 1: Meet in Rome - Siena Day 2: Siena, in-depth Tuscany experience Day 3: Siena - Pisa - Florence Day 4: Florence - Venice Day 5: Venice - Milan, end of tour 💕 Editing isn't easy.

#CanadaFlightEvent I went on a Tuscan tour. Public transportation is not convenient, so I had to rent a car or take a tour. The Cypress Road is a famous photo spot located in the Val d'Orcia Plain. The wide open Mediterranean plains are breathtaking. It is also the filming location for the house of Maximus, the main character in the movie Gladiator. Since it is private property, you can only take pictures at the entrance to the road. #EuropeTravel #Italy

#CanadaFlightEvent This is a restaurant that uses the unique Tuscan peach noodles. It's called Zaza Restaurant. It has a cute interior and a clean menu without any frills. It's not a crowded restaurant, but I recommend it to those who want to have a quiet meal. They also have wine and other menus besides pasta. #EuropeTravel #Italy

Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹 has a Mediterranean climate. Although February is winter, the temperature is not particularly low, ranging from about 5-15°C, with more rainfall. Planning to stroll through the fields and enjoy the iconic pastoral scenery, I used to only know about following tour groups, sleeping on the bus, taking photos when getting off, not seeing the beautiful scenery, and feeling very tired! Check out my recommendations for everyone. Self-drive vintage car/motorcycle tour in Tuscany. Imagine riding a scooter or driving a convertible, swaying on the green grass, choosing the most beautiful spot, stopping the car, laying out a picnic blanket, basking in the sunlight, and feeling the warmth! At noon, enjoy authentic Western cuisine and taste Chianti wine! This must be what living like a god feels like. · 🎈Best Time to Visit Actually, the best time to visit Tuscany is from April to October. In April and May, wildflowers bloom all over the mountains, and the green grass looks like a huge velvet carpet. The pastoral scenery at this time is full of spring vitality. September and October are autumn, when grapes are ripe, making it a good time to experience vineyard picking and winemaking, and you can also see the autumn scenery with layers of colors. · 🏰Attractions 🔺Siena: A small town with a medieval style, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo in the old town is a must-visit spot, where the famous Palio horse race is held every year. 🔺Florence: The birthplace of the Renaissance, the Uffizi Gallery houses many Renaissance paintings, and the Piazzale Michelangelo offers a panoramic view of the city. 🔺San Gimignano: Known for its numerous towers, it is called the 'Medieval Manhattan.' Walking through the ancient streets feels like traveling back in time. · 🍷Food Recommendations 🔺Florentine Steak: Made from local Chianina beef, the meat is tender and juicy, grilled to medium-rare, and bursting with flavor with every bite. 🔺Tuscan Bread Soup: Made with stale bread, vegetables, and olive oil, it has a rich taste and is a traditional local delicacy. 🔺Tiramisu: Although its origin is disputed, Tuscan tiramisu has its unique flavor, with sweet mascarpone cheese paired with coffee-soaked ladyfingers, each bite is super satisfying. ·

#FreeHotelStay The green scenery of Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was even more beautiful than I had imagined. This greenery may seem like just a plain, but it's actually wheat and pasture grass. Locals use this wheat to make pasta and beer. This spectacular view began when farmers cultivated the once barren Val d'Orcia. Deep-rooted plants such as wheat, olives, and cypresses took root in the clay soil that was not suitable for farming. The rich food and beautiful scenery of Tuscany are the result of trial and error by our predecessors. Cypresses were planted as windbreaks and landmarks for pilgrims who passed through Val d'Orcia on their way to Rome. The shape of the cypresses, which resemble hands clasped together, is likened to a prayer. The view changes completely depending on the weather, so it's worth visiting again and again.

When I was staying in Florence, Pisa was about an hour away from Florence (or Santa Maria Novella Station) by high-speed train, so I went there for a half-day trip 🌟 Introducing the landmark of pizza, the Tower of Pisa ◎ The Tower of Pisa, located in Piazza Duomo, is said to have an inclination of about 4 degrees! ! (You'll feel the inclination the most when you go up) Long ago, the tower started to lean more and more during construction, so they corrected it to prevent it from falling over, and have maintained its current inclination 💡 Entry to the Tower is limited to 40 people per group. This is to avoid crowds, but it's probably decided based on the durability of the tower... 💭 The rooftop is an observation deck, and you can see the whole city of pizza. The line of brown roofs gives you a sense of the atmosphere of a Tuscan city! There are many other tourist attractions in Piazza Duomo. Some tickets can be purchased in bulk, so we recommend purchasing tickets according to your needs✨ 🗼Spot name: Leaning Tower of Pisa (Torre di Pisa) 📍Location: Piazza del Duomo, 56126 Pisa PI, Italy 🕰️Opening hours: *Opening hours vary depending on the season. 　 Check the official website according to the time of your trip! 🚌Access: 《Train + Bus》 Exit Pisa Central Station, take the LAM rossa bus and get off at "Torre1".
