Holidays in Tuscany

If there’s one thing Tuscany does best, it’s walking. From the famous Camino di San Jacopo – a pilgrimage route that brings walkers from all over the world – to the picturesque hillsides dotted with ancient villages, Tuscany is a walker’s paradise. Wander along the 10km-long Greenway path, taking in lakeside villages, Roman roads, and grand villas, or set your sights on rocky peaks like Monte Grona for panoramic views over the region. And when you need a break? Rest at a charming village café with a plate of pasta and a glass of local wine.

Tuscany is more than just beautiful views – it’s a place brimming with things to see and do. Discover the ancient walls of Lucca, cycle through vineyards, or dip into the thermal baths of Montecatini. If it’s culture you’re after, a day in Florence, with its galleries and piazzas, will fill you with awe. Prefer something slower? Head to the coast and spend the day on the sandy shores of Viareggio, or explore the historic streets of Siena, home to the famous Palio horse race. Tuscany is full of stories, and each one is waiting for you to discover it.

The best way to explore Tuscany is slowly. Cycle through rolling hills lined with vineyards, or take a leisurely stroll along ancient footpaths that connect charming villages. The views are always stunning, from the sun-dappled vineyards to the craggy peaks in the distance. Whether you’re exploring by foot or bike, Tuscany’s countryside will captivate you at every turn. And if you’re after a little more adventure, there are plenty of trails that lead you through forests, past ancient aqueducts, and up to stunning lookout points.

If you’re a foodie, Tuscany will feel like heaven. The region’s wines are legendary, from the rich reds of Chianti to the crisp whites of Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Pair them with hearty dishes like ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, or a juicy Chianina steak, and you’ve got the perfect Tuscan meal. Whether you’re sipping a glass of Brunello at a vineyard or tucking into a bowl of pasta in a quaint town trattoria, every meal here feels like an experience.
