Arezzo
By Bridget of The Flashpacker For a historic city in Tuscany that is off the well-trodden tourist trail, head to Arezzo. This ancient Etruscan city is home to Piazza Grande, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Stop for a coffee in one of the bars that occupy the handsome loggia lining one side of the piazza. Arezzo is a Mecca for art and antique lovers. There are antique shops a-plenty and the biggest Antiques Fair in Italy takes place in Piazza Grande on the first weekend of every mo...
Florence
By Darcy of Plan, Ready, Go Probably best known for the red-tiled cathedral dome that rises over the city, Florence should not be missed on your visit to Tuscany. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, it’s a city steeped in history. If you enjoy great views, climb to the top of the Duomo dome or Giotto’s bell tower. Or if you are an art-lover, don’t miss the Galleria dell’Accademia (home of a clutch of the finest sculptures from Florence, including David by Michelangelo) or the beautiful Uffi...
Pisa
By Pamela of The Directionally Challenged Traveler Pisa is one of the most visited and beautiful cities in Italy. While many go there simply to visit the torre pendente (Leaning Tower), there are plenty of other things to do and see. Most people visit Pisa as a day trip from Florence. However, spending a night in Pisa ensures that you have time to see everything it has to offer. The Hotel Pisa Tower is a historic hotel in the heart of the city, making it easy to get around. Taking a silly sel...
Certaldo
By Joanna of The World in my Pocket Certaldo is a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path town in Tuscany. The town is divided between the old and the new part, the former located on top of a hill, easily reachable by a funicular. Walking along the streets of Certaldo’s old town feels like you have been transported to the medieval age. Within Italy, Certaldo is famous as Bocaccio’s home. The main street in town, Via Boccaccio, leads to the Palazzo Pretorio, the former residence of the vicars of power....
Cortona
By Renee of Dream Plan Experience The beautiful hilltop town of Cortona was put on the map with the release of Under the Tuscan Sun, first the book by Francis Mayes, and then the movie. It sits in the eastern part of Tuscany about an hour’s drive from Florence. This stone-clad town has a rich history dating back to 400-600 BC. But it was in the 13th century that the town started to flourish. The heart of this charming town is the main square, Piazza della Repubblica, featuring many historical...

By Or of My Path in the World Located along the scenic Chiantigiana road, Greve in Chianti is one of the most charming towns in Tuscany. Its history dates back many centuries, with the entire area settled since ancient times. Start your visit to Greve in the uniquely shaped main square, Piazza Matteotti. Be sure to visit it on a Saturday when the local weekly market takes place and the entire square is filled with stalls selling flowers, cheeses, household goods and more. Continue by visiting...
Monteriggioni
By Casandra of Karpiak Caravan Adventure Family Travel The charming Tuscan village of Monteriggioni is located on the outskirts of Siena and offers gorgeous views of the surrounding Chianti region. This walled medieval village, sitting atop the Tuscan hillside, has towers that can be seen from miles away. Monteriggioni’s walls are still intact and you are able to walk along the top of certain sections. Tickets cost 4 Euros to walk on these walkways, well worth it to see the famous 360-degree...

Well-preserved and maintained, it is relatively small and is walkable within one day. It’s a typical Tuscan village with ancient stone buildings, surrounded by scenic fields of olives and grapes.

San Quirico d’Orcia
By Denise of Chef Denise You may never have heard of the tiny Tuscan village of San Quirico d’Orcia, but you’ve probably seen photos of its Chapel of Madonna of Vitaleta, or its famous cypress treesstanding tall on rolling green hills. Located in the picturesque southern region of Tuscany called Val d’Orcia, San Quirico d’Orcia is midway between the two larger villages of Pienza and Montalcino. It is less than an hour’s drive to Sienna. The charming walled village of San Quirico d’Orcia can e...

The best time to visit Tuscany is mid-to-late spring (April and May) or early autumn (September and October) when the landscape is at its best and temperatures are comfortable. If possible, avoid visiting Tuscany in the summer months when temperatures hit the high 80s and 90s.

But if you can’t or won’t drive, Tuscany’s public transport is affordable, reaches the region’s main attractions and is user-friendly. However, only the bigger towns in Tuscany have train stations and although bus services are available, they tend to b...
Pick and base and stick with it. If you don’t have a car, focus on places that are within striking distance of a train station.

Florence is also an excellent base for visiting towns and villages in northern Tuscany, including Lucca and Arezzo. If you are a repea...
