Hands down, Tuscany is easily one of the best places in Italy to visit – especially if you love a good mix of historic towns, rolling hills and the most delicious food and vineyards that you can’t miss. Tuscany is totally special and perfect for a road trip around the region, or even a city break! That being said, it can be tough to whittle down a firm list of all the best places in Tuscany to visit as they’re all dotted around this iconic region of Italy.
So, to make things a little easier (and you’re not bogged down with too much planning), I wanted to share some of the gems we loved visiting in Tuscany.
Some are gorgeous little towns that date back thousands of years and some are little retreats that I’m hoping you’ll love. Whatever the case, I just know you’re going to be spoilt for choice on where to visit in Tuscany.
Take a look, below, at the best places in Tuscany to visit. Have the best time in Italy!
1.) Florence
Okay, let’s start with one of Tuscany’s most iconic cities, Florence. Honestly, there are so many epic things to see in Florence that you’ll need at least a few days,if not more, to see them all.
Truth be told, it needs little introduction and is known the world over for its centuries of historic, art and totally stunning streets. Over the years, we’ve visited many times and never not enjoyed our time in the city. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s one of our favourite cities in Italy to visit. A bold statement, I know!
It’s no coincidence that Florence is called the jewel of the Renaissance, especially with its contribution to the enlightenment that historically brought the city to the centre of the world. Nowadays, you can see works from the likes of Michelangelo and Da Vinci alongside world-renowned spots that have stood for centuries.
Once here, make sure to stop and enjoy some of the free things to do in Florence and also take in the views across the city from Piazzale Michelangelo. We loved going just before sunset (with gelato in hand) and watching Florence glitter. It sounds kinda cheesy, but it really is lovely.
Oh, and don’t forget to stroll over Ponte Vecchio (the iconic bridge) and The Piazza della Signoria, too. If you want to see the masterpieces by Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and others, make sure to book these Uffizi Gallery skip-the-line tickets. You can’t miss it in Florence.
