Tuscany most important attractions
Tuscany is such a wonderful region that is actually hard to speak about it in just a few words...There are so many things to see and such a variety of landscapes that you get the impression of touring many different regions and countries!!
Anyway, waiting for Lourdes more expert advices, I'll resume in a few words the MUST SEE of our splendid region.
Obviously, first of all there's Florence, the capital region, usually referred to as the
cradle of Renaissance for its wonderful treasures of art, have a look at this site where you'll find all you want to know about FLorence, whit pictures, info about museums, events and so on:

Siena,
Lucca,
Pisa are other cities to visit once one gets there: Siena is the place where the famous Palio annually takes place. Lucca, instead, is usually referred to as the
one hundred churches city for its high number of churches and cathedrals, while Pisa is the city of the famous Leaning Tower and the Miracles Square.
Arezzo and
Cortona are other marvellous city locations to see, but Tuscany is home to many little quaint villages that are really worth a visit, mainly nestled among the green rolling hills that characterize the countryside. I can't believe you've never heard about
Chianti area, where the famous Chianti wine is produced: besides being a region famous for its wines and typical products - like cheese, ham, beef meat - it's a marvelous area to calmly drive for enjoying its breathtaking and panoramic views.
Maremma to the south and Versilia to the north are sea and nature locations, home to long and marvelous coastlines for
enjoying the Tuscan Sun.
