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”.
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.

From which city to start your trip in Tuscany?
Florence is an excellent starting point for traveling in Tuscany. Florence has an international airport, and many regional trains arrive here from Rome, Naples, Milan, Bologna, Turin and other cities.
When is the best time to visit Tuscany?
Spring and early autumn are considered the best time to visit Tuscany. When planning a trip for these months, it becomes possible to visit the main museums without waiting in long lines.
The air temperature in the spring months averages +20°С. There are not so many tourists yet, and everything around is already starting to turn green and bloom. With the arrival of autumn, the heat gradually drops to + 20 … + 25 ° С, but the sea is still warm. The flow of tourists is sharply reduced, and the best time for a beach holiday is coming.
How many days to spend in Tuscany?
There are three options for visiting Tuscany: you can take a day trip, spend several days there (for example 4 days out of 10 days of your vacation) or take a sun trip in Tuscany. If you have already been to the main major cities of Italy, then we recommend spending at least a few days or the entire trip in Tuscany.
In general, Tuscany is a region of Italy that is ideal for traveling, and holidays here can be very diverse – from visiting historical and architectural monuments to trips to natural attractions, add here a rich beach holiday with developed infrastructure or a holiday in natural thermal springs, and you get a picture of the perfect vacation.
04
Do I need a car in Tuscany?
Yes.
Of course, you can visit major cities by train and most places with some form of public transport, but public transport can take forever and you will appreciate the flexibility that a car rental in Tuscany gives you. Would you like to stop for a picnic in the vineyard? Do you want to go out to see the sunrise from the observation deck in Castellina in Chianti? Want to visit remote sandy beaches? With a rental car you can!
You can rent a car in a big city like Florence, but don’t rent it until the day you leave the city. Florence is a pain to drive and find parking.
05
What about public transport in Tuscany?
It is quite convenient to travel around Tuscany by train. Distances between cities are small, so travel time does not take much time. Train schedules between specific locations can be checked at the Raileurope railway service. Both regional (slower and cheaper trains) and high-speed (fast, but usually more expensive) ply in all directions. All major cities are connected by rail, as are most beach resorts. However, there are also resorts that cannot be reached by train, for example, Punta Ala or Saturnia. In such cases, it is necessary to transfer from the train to a regular bus, which delivers to the final destination.
But you shouldn’t count on water transport in Tuscany, only sightseeing boats run along the coast, operating in the summer months to entertain tourists. There are no established routes for moving between cities.
In the towns of Tuscany themselves, public transport is usually limited to the presence of city buses, which are more than enough to move freely. The specificity of the cities of Tuscany lies in the fact that almost all of them are small in size, which means that a wide network of urban transport is not required. Even in the largest cities, such as Florence and Pisa, the main attractions are concentrated in one area and it is quite possible to move between them on foot.
06
What are the best beaches in Tuscany?
Seaside holidays in Tuscany are diverse, you can choose any beach located on the coast. This is a resort place that is suitable for relaxing as a couple or with small children.
Here you can find both wild sandy beaches and paid beaches. On specially equipped sites, guests are additionally offered to rent a sunbed and an umbrella. For those who want to actively spend time, they offer to rent catamarans or jet skis.
The most popular beaches of Tuscany: Feniglia, Forte dei Marmi, Camaiore; Canella and Campes, which are located on the island of Giglio; Fetovaia beach on the Elba island; as well as the wild beach of Maremma, etc.
07
How to get to the island of Elba?
There are several ways to get to Elba: By plane This is the fastest and most convenient way to arrive on the island. Elba has its own small airport, which is located in the village of La Pila, 2 km from Marina di Campo. It is a private civilian airport open to commercial traffic.
During the summer, the airport becomes very busy, with foreign and Italian airlines regularly flying here from many major European cities.
The land method implies two parts of the route, the first part of the route goes over land and should lead you to the port of Piombino, the second part – by sea to the main port and the capital of the island of Elba – Portoferraio.
Four shipping companies fly to Elba from the port of Piombino Marittima several times a day: Toremar, Moby Lines, Blu Navy and Corsica Ferries. Comfortable ferries start running from 6:00 to approximately 21:30 in the evening. The cost of the trip for all is approximately the same 14 euros. The crossing time to Portoferraio is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, to Rio Marina 45 minutes.
Ferry tickets can be purchased at the ferry terminal, which is located to the right of the exit from the train, or booked in advance on the website of the shipping company.
If you are traveling by car, we recommend booking ferry tickets in advance.

Crystalina, I returned from an 11-day trip in northern Italy after having the kind help of you to plan and build the itinerary. Happily, your recommendations were incredibly accurate and detailed, including parking, recommendations for restaurants and even leading ice cream parlors. We arrived at magical places, don't want to think what would have happened without your planning?! Thank you very much, Crystalina.
Avery Flores
Crystalina prepared a simple and perfect trip for us, exactly according to our needs. We spent Sunday seeing special things in Milan and went shopping on Monday. She sent us to really worthwhile places! Then we went to Lake Como, with crazy views and lots of special observations. Every day we thought it was the most special it could be, and we were surprised to find out the next day that there was more! It was a fun and relaxed trip. We felt in good hands, and everything was accurate, including addresses from place to place, prices, and if we had a question, she immediately answered. In short, there are no words to describe it! I highly recommend Crystalina for anyone looking for a perfect trip without any headaches.
Chloe Collins

Highly recommended.

It was a great value for a very cheap price!
Michael Turner
Crystalina saved us the headache and time of proper planning for such a trip. In Crystalina's program we got to taste northern Italy in a variety of flavors, mountains, towns, attractions and nature. Crystalina's answers to the little details are efficient and quick. Worth every penny - saves a lot of potential frustration and disappointment. Thanks Crystalina.

We were thrilled with the experience!

Charlotte Hernandez
We recently returned from a trip to Northern Italy, which was expertly planned by Crystalina. The region was truly breathtaking and the itinerary that Crystalina created for us was nothing short of perfect. Her attention to detail and accuracy in selecting the right attractions and activities was impressive, and the file and guidance she provided were very helpful throughout the trip.
Emma Smith
Crystalina built me a tailored itinerary for a trip to Rome, Venice, Dolomites, and Garda that was perfect for me and my 14-year-old teenager. He sent me a pdf booklet with explanations and links to everything, which was very easy to use. Crystalina was also available for questions on WhatsApp, which was very helpful. I'm very pleased that I turned to him because I didn't have time to build an itinerary on my own. It would have taken hours and days to do research and choose the best options, and even if I had time, it wouldn't have been my kind of fun. Thanks, Crystalina!

We recently honeymooned in Italy for 11 days in January 2022, and Crystalina put together an amazing itinerary for us based on the questionnaire we filled out. She provided several options for each attraction, a variety of restaurant choices, and even included some hidden gems for breathtaking views. The daily plan was incredibly easy to follow with links to each location on Google Maps and Wise.

Crystalina was a pleasure to work with - friendly, kind, and always willing to help. We highly recommend her services for anyone planning a trip to Italy.

We decided to fly and opened up to Crystalina 10 days before the flight. Crystalina found out exactly what we wanted and built us an incredibly accurate trip. She found accommodations that just suited us, and attractions that just suited us. And in the process we had one problem, Crystalina immediately mobilized, made phone calls and solved the problem for us from the country. For everything we received an exact link and a map, including opening hours. Thanks to Crystalina, we had a calm and flowing trip. Thank you so much, Crystalina!

Crystalina built us a rich program according to our needs and requests. Even if we didn't always follow the plan exactly, it gave us great material to work with on plan changes and new combinations. The plan included a detailed description of how to get there, including a link to Google Maps and an exact address, which were very helpful in getting to the right place when we didn't know anything, and of course also important tips from someone with experience. We also received an update to the program after there was an unexpected change in the plans, and answers to various questions we had during the planning for the trip. Thank you very much, Crystalina!

We love exploring different areas of Italy each time we travel, and this time we chose the Dolomites. Crystalina created a detailed and personalized itinerary for us, highlighting the special points of interest that we love. The precise addresses he provided for using Viz or Google Maps were excellent and made navigation very easy. We were able to find the most convenient parking spots, central locations for lake views, and cable car access points without any trouble. It felt like he was virtually traveling with us and was readily available for any questions or clarifications. We highly recommend Crystalina services and look forward to using them again in the future

On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Crystalina's services to build an itinerary in Rome and Tuscany. Since I have never hired the services of a consultant to build an itinerary, I was initially skeptical about the very idea, but I quickly realized that she was a professional and we relied fully on her recommendations. Crystalina's recommendations were excellent, and hit exactly to our liking, both regarding the recommended travel sites and regarding the wonderful restaurants she recommended (it goes without saying). Thanks to her, we prepared and made suitable reservations long in advance, we knew how to conduct ourselves every day during the trip, we used the links she sent (up to the level of the parking lot!) and we are grateful that Crystalina, who is also a pleasant and available person, saved us a lot of time and effort and simply made sure that our trip was perfect. Thank you very much Crystalina :)

Crystalina planned an amazing two-week trip for us from the northwest of Italy (Cinque Terre region) to the Amalfi Gulf. The planning was extremely professional and detailed, down to the last detail, and Crystalina was always available to us throughout the trip. We came back very satisfied and with thousands of beautiful photos and unforgettable experiences. We highly recommend Crystalina's travel planning services.

We took a 10-day trip to northwest Italy and contacted Crystalina to plan our itinerary. She was able to tailor the itinerary according to our preferences and even made changes as we requested. The itinerary was very detailed with photos, roads, and explanations, showing her professionalism and attention to detail. We relied heavily on the itinerary that Crystalina prepared for us, and although we didn't follow it exactly, her advice and recommendations were very helpful throughout the trip. She also provided suggestions for accommodations and various tips. Crystalina was very kind and accommodating, and we highly recommend her services.

Crystalina, planned a great itinerary for us according to our tastes in Italy. The itinerary was detailed down to the smallest detail. From now on, we won't travel without professional travel planning. He saved us many hours of planning. When we travel to Southern Italy next time, we will definitely seek Crystalina help again.
