Unesco Heritage, every year millions and millions of tourists compete to take a picture of the most famous tower in the world. Today we go to Pisa, the second tourist city after Florence. A small city but with a lot of historical/monumental potential. Book Pisa Walking Tour here!
DAY 2-3 FLORENCE
In the middle of Italy, we found one of the most visited city in Europe. Each year almost 15.000 of visitors came to the Tuscany capital to admire this beautiful city. I personally love Florence for its gastronomy and cultural heritage. Hometown of Dante Alighieri, Brunelleschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, and many others, which make this city the heart of discoveries and arts. Book here the Free walking tour of Florence.
DAY 4 CHIANTI
Il Chianti, is one of the most famous areas for wine in Tuscany. Characterized by a spectacular landscape, with its rolling green hills with miles of vineyards and olive groves, it is famous for its wines, known and appreciated all over the world.
Charming small Tuscan villages, with narrow winding streets, some with medieval walls, also castles and fortresses decorate the whole area. All these are the things to see and do on a trip to the Chianti Valley, we explain our route. Check more about Tuscan wine…
DAY 5 SAN GIMIGNANO
San Gimignano, a town located in the hills of Tuscany, just 60 kilometers from Florence, is primarily known for the 14 medieval towers that are preserved, which were built along with 58 others in a kind of “competition” in which the most influential families tried to demonstrate their power and wealth.
DAY 6 SIENA
The city of Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the must-see destinations in Italy: a city with medieval history, beautiful architecture, and lively culture. It was my favorite place in Tuscany (yes, even more than San Gimignano). Read more…

Terme di Saturnia is one of the best-known thermal baths in Tuscany. It is located in the southernmost part of the Maremma, it is one of the places that receive more tourists throughout the year.
