Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Tuscany
Tuscany is the beating heart of Italy, a region that conjures images of sun-drenched golden hills, winding country roads flanked by cypress trees, and a world-changing artistic legacy. It is the cradle of the Renaissance, where the genius of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli flourished in the streets and palaces of Florence. Here, history is felt in every stone, from Siena's medieval Piazza del Campo, scene of the historic Palio, to the sky-defying towers in San Gimignano. Tuscany is a sensory journey: the aroma of the vineyards in Chianti, the taste of freshly pressed olive oil, the beauty of landscapes such as the Val d'Orcia and the charm of its walled towns. It is a land that invites you to live the "dolce vita", enjoying its simple pleasures and its deep cultural heritage.
Cradle of the Renaissance, an open-air museum with masterpieces by artists such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo.
Known as the 'Square of Miracles', it is home to the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Cemetery and the world-famous Leaning Tower.
Considered the perfect example of a medieval city, with Piazza del Campo as its spectacular heart.
Famous for its tall medieval towers that create a unique skyline and testify to the power of the families who built them.
The most famous and passionate party in Tuscany. A frenetic bareback horse race in Piazza del Campo where 10 of the city's 17 districts ('contrade') compete for the honour. The event is preceded by a spectacular historical parade with medieval costumes.
A brutal and fascinating historical sport, precursor to football and rugby, played in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. Four teams from the city's historic neighborhoods compete in matches in 16th-century costumes.
One of the most important carnivals in Italy, famous for its gigantic and satirical paper mache floats that parade along the seafront. The floats often depict caricatures of politicians and celebrities.

In the busiest tourist areas such as Florence, Pisa and Siena, keep an eye on your belongings to avoid pickpockets. To visit the main churches and cathedrals, respectful clothing is required (shoulders and knees covered). Book tickets to major museums, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery in Florence, well in advance to avoid long lines. Driving in historic city centers is usually restricted to residents (ZTL - Limited Traffic Zone), so do your research before entering with your car.
