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

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

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.

#springwander Tuscany is located about 2 hours south by car from Florence. The Tuscany region is famous for its grape gardens and wine in Italy, but around May, red poppies bloom all over the area. There are also World Heritage-listed attractions in the surrounding area, such as Pienza, the city of Siena, and the Valcia Valley, so it is a recommended place to enjoy the idyllic scenery and sightseeing of Italy.

Tuscany is the heart of Italy’s beauty—golden vineyards, medieval hilltop towns, and endless rolling landscapes bathed in soft sunlight. From the Renaissance wonders of Florence to the rustic charm of Siena and the cypress-lined roads of Val d’Orcia, every corner feels like a postcard. Wine lovers can sip world-class Chianti, while food lovers indulge in fresh pasta, truffles, and pecorino cheese. Whether you’re exploring ancient villages, relaxing in a countryside villa, or simply soaking in the breathtaking views, Tuscany is a place that stays with you long after you leave. #travel #thingstodo

| 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 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". It's a few minutes' walk to the entrance. 《Train + Walk》 Exit Pisa Central Station, walk 25-30 minutes *The route involves walking through the city of Pisa and crossing the Arno River bridge (I personally recommend this route) 🎫How to purchase tickets: Date and time tickets can be purchased on the official website◎You can also purchase tickets on-site, but we recommend purchasing in advance as it is expected to be crowded. *Admission restrictions may apply when crowded ⚠️This is a popular tourist spot, so it is crowded with people and pickpockets are rampant. Please take precautions such as not carrying a backpack on your back and putting your shoulder bag inside your jacket◎ #LeaningTowerofPisa #WorldHeritage #Pisa #Italy #EuropeTrip #FreeHotelStay

Italian castle hotels in Tuscany are like hidden gems, exuding a unique charm.

Tuscany is one of the most beautiful regions in Italy, known for its rolling hills and vineyards. It boasts many historic towns, such as Florence and Pisa. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence houses countless art treasures, making it a paradise for art lovers. I took photos under the Leaning Tower of Pisa and tasted local wine and cuisine in the Chianti region. Tuscany's culinary culture is also very rich, with local olive oil and homemade pasta being must-tries. Every bite of food here is filled with the taste of sunshine, allowing you to feel the charm of the Mediterranean.

The sunset in Tuscany is a moment I will never forget. The romance of Italy! Visit the scenes from the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun." Open the Italian summer with Tuscany!

[🌳Here are some places worth visiting in Tuscany~] 1️⃣ S-shaped cypress trees 📍Agriturismo Baccoleno A beautiful place to check in, and every photo you take will be stunning! 2️⃣ Double row cypress avenue 📍 Viale di Cipressi I think the side view is better than the front view, so you can take some side shots~ 3️⃣ Round cypress trees 📍 Cipressi di San Quirico d'Orcia Very beautiful, located in the middle of a large lawn~ 4️⃣ Little Ear Church 📍 Chapel Vitaleta Park your car and walk over. The road is beautiful, with a large flower field and a small lake!

(Transport) Milan to Val d'Orcia Renting a car at Milan airport and driving to the beautiful Val d'Orcia in Tuscany was like driving through a painting. It's a long journey, taking 5-6 hours each way, so I recommend staying in Florence or another village before heading to Val d'Orcia. Val d'Orcia is known for its beautiful scenery and charming small towns, and is a World Heritage Site. The landscape of rolling hills, old farms, and sprawling vineyards was captivating. (Location) Visit to San Quirico d'Orcia On the way, we stopped in the charming town of San Quirico d'Orcia. The town is characterized by its historic buildings and narrow cobblestone streets, giving it a traditional Tuscan feel. In particular, the Jardin Jorbario in the center of the town provided visitors with a quiet and relaxing space. It's a town with a very historic feel. (Meals) Antica Trattoria Toscana Al Vecchio Forno In the evening, we enjoyed a special dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant in San Quirico d'Orcia. The dishes, made with fresh local ingredients, were beautiful to look at and had exquisite flavors that spread in the mouth. In particular, they went perfectly with the Tuscan specialty piccolini and local wine, and the happiness spread as the meal progressed. (End of the trip) The best sunset After dinner, we headed up the hill to watch the beautiful sunset over Val d'Orcia. The moment the sky turned orange and the sun went down was like a scene from a movie. The view was an unforgettable memory that will stay in your heart, and it allowed you to feel the charm of Val d'Orcia once again. This experience in Tuscany was a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of Val d'Orcia and experience the rich culture of Italy. I would definitely like to return on my next trip. (Price) Meals: 10,000 yen for two Rental car: 10,000 yen (gas included) #overseas #want to connect with people who like traveling abroad #trip ##italy ##Italy #italy ##travel ##overseas travel ##100 travel styles ##100waysoftravel

I’ve been to Italy several times, exploring different regions, but Tuscany remains my top favorite destination. Why? Because with a self-driving tour, I can explore this beautiful region at my own pace, and easily book fantastic accommodations that are typically hard to access by public transport. So, remember the most important thing: hire a car. It’s really easy to drive in the Italian countryside (though not so much in the cities, of course!). We rented a car in Florence and embarked on a 3-day tour of Tuscany. Here’s my itinerary: Day 1: Start the morning with some sightseeing in Florence (if it’s your first visit). Florence is a walkable city, so you can choose a few nearby sights to explore. Then, pick up the car and hit the road. You can either take the highway or opt for the provincial roads, but I highly recommend the SR222 route—it’s incredibly scenic. We stayed overnight at an agriturismo (farm stay), with the town of Pienza nearby for groceries and dinner. Day 2: Wake up early to enjoy the sunrise. This is one reason I recommend staying at an agriturismo—you can experience the peace and tranquility of Val d’Orcia, and a sunrise in a serene, secluded spot. Spend the day driving around wherever you wish. We visited Pienza, then headed to another farm stay near Agriturismo Baccoleno, famous for its sunset views. One of the perks of traveling in spring is the longer days; the sunset at Baccoleno was around 8:30 pm (if I remember correctly)! Day 3: Drive to Siena, soaking in the stunning scenery along the way. Spend some time exploring this charming town. We stayed overnight near Siena. Day 4: Get up early and drive back to Florence before noon. This itinerary allows you to keep your car rental to just three days. Depending on your pace and interests, you can easily pin any location on the map of Tuscany and create your own adventure. I’m sure this will be one of your most memorable trips! #italytrip

Tuscany is really relaxing and worth a visit Many people choose to hold weddings here You can listen to the wind and songs on the big lawn When you go to Tuscany, you must take pictures at the S-shaped cypress tree (Agriturismo baccoleno). It is recommended to go in the morning, because the photo will be backlit at noon and the temperature will be hot. If you have time, go visit the winery! The small town of Pienza is also very Italian. Tuscany is worth setting aside a whole day for sightseeing It is recommended to drive by yourself because the place is very big The 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet" was also filmed here 📍Tuscany #globaltravel

Before I went to this homestay, I thought it was beautiful from the photos. The actual environment is even more beautiful than the photos😭 Living here really meets all my imaginations of Italian rural life Stayed for 3 days and felt not enough 🛏️Homestay: San Giovanni in Poggio 📍Location: 1.5h drive from Florence It is about half an hour's drive from several nearby towns Siena, Pienza, Val d'Orcia, and several cypress tree check-in locations. It is a 10-minute drive to the nearest town, and there are several large supermarkets (Carrefour, Coop, IGO) in the town. 💰Reference price: 1500/night 🌲Homestay features ✔️The entire manor has 5 rooms, each with a kitchen, kitchenware, seasonings, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, etc. There is a grill in the backyard for free use. On the last night, we bought skewers in the supermarket and had a BBQ in the backyard, which was very comfortable. ✔️When checking in, the homestay housekeeper introduced the surrounding places to visit very enthusiastically and gave a lot of guide maps. ✔️The room rate does not include breakfast, you can buy breakfast pastries for a fee, 2.5 euros per serving, with croissants and the like, and also provide paid private chef dinners, which are not cost-effective, and are more expensive than eating in a restaurant outside. ✔️The homestay has an open-air bath and a sauna, which can be used repeatedly during the stay, but you need to make an appointment with the housekeeper in advance, and each use time is 1h. ✔️The homestay also provides some paid play projects, such as cycling and hiking around, visiting wineries, etc., and provides mountain bike and electric bike rentals.
