Pistoia's centro storico (historic center) offers elegance and refined beauty. Its Roman origins are clearly visible, with a surprising number of churches, cloisters, palaces, and art treasures. It is sometimes referred to as a 'little Florence' for its amazing concentration of art and architecture in a city barely half the size of Lucca. Pistoia is off the main tourist trail in Tuscany, and this is a blessing. It’s a laid back town with more locals than tourists, which makes sightseeing much more enjoyable. Some say that a day is enough to see the main sights, but you might want to linger in this town a bit longer.
In the center of Tuscany - a charming hill-covered region offering a picturesque landscape of small stone villages, sprawling vineyards and olive groves.
South of Siena - Hill towns, valleys, medieval castles guarding narrow road passes and isolated farmhouses. Perhaps Tuscany`s most captivating and picturesque region.
Land of castle-dominated hill towns, misty blue mountains, and the remnants of Apennine forests. Splendid landscapes with famous monastic settlements, century-old trees and Romanesque parishes.
Relatively uncrowded between Florence and Pisa - Towns with true architectural beauty and charm: mazes of narrow streets, Romanesque churches and beyond them stretches a land of genteel spas such as Montecatini Terme.
Extensive beaches surrounded by high dunes and fresh pinewoods, characterized by clean water (certified blue flag beaches), interesting villages, and a background of the Apuan Alps.
