Trip Summary

The Italian city of Florence sits nestled among the rolling Tuscan hills, with an unmistakable skyline dominated by the fabulous Duomo. With so much Renaissance art and culture, shopping opportunities, and of course incredible gastronomy, you will be spoiled for choices in what to do and see in this exciting capital city of Tuscany. Florence`s museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world. The most popular and important sites in Florence include the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello, and the Accademia. Spend a day at the Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte to experience an enchanting view of Florence, Italy.

Recommended Stay: At least 2 nights
Must See`s:
The Duomo Complex, Church of Santa Croce, The Cathedral, The Uffizi Gallery, Galleria dell`Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens and so much more!



2 nights in Lucca

Lovely Lucca is one of Tuscany`s true gems. This little medieval city is located very close to Pisa and many consider, much more attractive and charming. You enter the historic town via one of the four gates in the city wall encircling Lucca. As Lucca has not seen a war since the 1400s, the architecture with the historic center (inside the walls) is well-preserved and features beautiful churches and remains of a Roman amphitheater. If you plan to travel to Tuscany, you should not miss this city!

Recommended Stay: At least 3 nights
Must See`s:
Roman Amphitheater, Duomo di San Martino, Torre Guinigi, Torre delle Ore, Palazzo Mansi, Saint Michael`s Church, San Frediano`s Church, Via Fillungo(main street), Palazzo Pfanner, Piazza Napoleone, Domus Romana, and so much more!



2 nights in San Gimignano

San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the Tuscany, known as the `City of Beautiful Towers`, which has preserved its medieval appearance more completely than any other town in Tuscany. It stands on the site of a small Etruscan settlement dating to second BC. Its history begins around the Tenth Century. Truly a little gem, it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Walking through the Old City means plunging into the Middle Ages and getting a taste of what the city must have been like more than seven hundred years ago.

The Old City is enclosed with 13th-century walls and is accessed by two main streets that intersect to create two wonderful piazzas. It is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses, which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls form `an unforgettable skyline`. Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with outstanding examples of secular buildings as well as churches. The town also is known for the white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, produced from the ancient variety of Vernaccia grape which is grown on the sandstone hillsides of the area. San Gimignano is also famous for its Torture museum, with a display of instruments and devices for torture in various times and places.

2 nights in Siena

The beautiful town of Siena is the largest of hill towns that are scattered among Tuscany.
