A Glimpse of the Region

Many poems, paintings and movies have been devoted to Tuscany.

Here is a quote from an Italian author about this wonderful region: “Amazing Tuscany landscapes bathed in some magical light seem so perfect and full of vital power that you cannot imagine life on Earth without them.

Here, amidst the harmony of nature, you feel like you are standing on a stage under someone’s eye and must be as perfect as the surrounding landscape”.

Must-Visit Places In Tuscany

Natural Beauties and Lakes

Sansone Beach

Sansone Beach stretches along the road on the Northern Coast near Portoferraio, just before the Viticcio’s junction. White pebbles and gravel might make the ten minutes walk down somewhat difficult. But the result more than makes up for your effort. While staying in the place almost free of crowds and swimming in waters full of fish, octopuses and other marine flora, you start to realize how fundamentally connected to nature we, humans, are.

Maremma National Park

The Maremma National Park is located on the south-western coast, near the tiny village of Principina a Mare. A real highlight of the Park is a wild and pristine beach pretty popular among tourists. Due to many white washed old tree branches and trunks that look like prehistoric animal skeletons sticking out of the sand, the place evokes associations with the Mesozoic era.

Argentario Promontory

Monte Argentario is a promontory surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Orbetello lagoon in the Province of Grosseto. Monte Argentario is also a municipality located alongside the Tuscany coastline between two islands Giglio and Giannutri. The promontory is part of the whale-shaped Natural Reserve which is a special protection area stretched along the Mediterranean coastline. The highest peak of Monte Argentario is the Punta Telegrafo, 635 meters above sea level.

Mount Amiata

Mount Amiata (Monte Amiata) with its 1738 meters of height is an ancient extinct volcano overlooking the Val d’Orcia and the Maremma. Diverse and lush vegetation covers the mount up to the very top. All year round tourists and the locals can admire breathtaking views and landscapes. In winter Mount Amiata is an excellent ski resort with its 12 slopes for skiing and 8 ski lifts.

Tourist Attractions

Palazzina dei Mulini

Palazzina dei Mulini was the official residence of Napoleon in Portoferraio while in exile on the Island of Elba. Today it is a National Museum. A unique Napoleon's Library, which has survived untouched in the residence, is a highlight of the Museum. The library contains the Emperor’s favorite books and albums that he brought with him to Elba. Many rare items of the library including European magazines date back to the Napoleonic era.

Fort Stella

Fort Stella located on the promontory of Portoferraio was built in 1548 as a coastal fortification. Dominating the promontory and overlooking the whole bay, the Fort is a star-shaped (hence the name) irregular pentagon. The imposing fortified complex was built on a design by the Architects Giovanni Camerini and Giovan Battista Belluzzi.

Ponte Sospeso

Ponte Sospeso is currently one of the world's longest suspension footbridges. It was constructed in Tuscany in 1923 to help employees in a local pin factory get to work. The metal footbridge is 227 meters long, but only 80 centimeters wide. A special suspension design with the main load-bearing cables secured to the Popoglio village side was used to secure the footbridge

Guinigi Tower

The medieval Torre Guinigi rises above via Sant'Andrea. The tower is crowned by a lovely rooftop oak garden that symbolizes rebirth. It was added by the Guinigi family in the late 1300s, with the aim of giving a refined look to the tower. It was a period when numerous bell-towers were constructed by the richest families within the walls of Lucca as a manifestation of their wealth and prestige.

Cities

Florence

Florence, the pride of Italy and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, spreads out in a spacious valley crossed by the Arno River. The city is located in the north of the country, being the administrative center of the historical region of Tuscany. From the north and east, the spurs of the Apennine mountains approach Florence, reaching a kilometer height. The mountains and green hills surrounding the city perfectly set off the beauty of the proud Florentine churches and luxurious palaces, making up the landscapes of incredible beauty.

Siena

Siena is a city in Italy, one of the largest tourist centers in the country, the administrative center of the province of the same name. Florence and Siena have been longtime rivals since the Middle Ages, and this rivalry has led to the greatest artistic achievements in both cities. This, of course, should please travelers who have the opportunity to view both pearls of world art almost "in one sitting." Whether Siena is really more beautiful than Florence can only be determined by visiting it.

San Gimignano

San Gimignano is a strikingly beautiful city in Tuscany, which has taken refuge behind beautifully preserved ramparts with 14 (originally there were 72) towers. It was named after the Bishop of Modena, who is said to have repelled an attack by Attila and his Huns. San Gimignano is spread among cornfields, olive groves and vineyards in a green agricultural area.

Lucca

Lucca is a small city in Italy, whose sights attract thousands of tourists. Its uniqueness lies in the framing of the old city with a ring of fortress walls that have not been destroyed over the centuries, unlike other cities in the country. Lucca has a great religious and historical heritage. Lucca is located on the banks of the Sirchio River, which flows into the Ligurian Gulf 30 km from the city. Lucca is part of Tuscany, located in the northwest of the region, not far from Pisa.

Attractions For Kids

Acqua Village

In southwest Tuscany, in the town of Cecina and close to Livorno province a water park called Acqua Village is located. This amazing Hawaii-themed water park being home to a variety of the most exciting water slides attracts plenty of tourists all around the world.

It offers a large number of attractions for all ages including rides for families: Safari Adventures, Corsaro Splash, Pala Verde, extreme rides: Freestyle and Yukatan, rides for the youngest kids: Topozzoro, Pazzo West and Canoe delle Favole. Children especially appreciate the show with animatronic robots of life-sized dinosaurs. The Park is full of dinosaur themed places, which evokes the associations with a Jurassic jungle.

The Indiana Park is an excellent high-rope adventure park that offers exciting and challenging routes designed for all ages and all levels of climbers from beginners to advanced ones.

A small and simple but pretty attractive and charming Villa Puccini is a true highlight of the town. The villa is located in a picturesque place on the shore of a small lake. It is currently home to the famous Italian composer’s museum. The museum offers exciting tours during which audio guides are available for the visitors.
