A round trip through Tuscany

Contents

A tour through Tuscany impresses with its unique landscapes, mild Mediterranean climate and world-famous old cities such as Florence and Pisa. Hotels, guesthouses or camping in Tuscany are ideal for overnight stays.

The round trip can start with the Pisa famous leaning tower being. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta right next to it is also worth seeing. After the visit, the small winding streets invite you to stroll.

Florence and Lucca

What would a vacation in Tuscany be without it? Florence, the old cultural city and place of work of artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Under no circumstances should there be a walk across this Old Bridge, the only surviving historic bridge to be missed. The many jewelry shops on the edge of the built-up bridge are particularly impressive. An indispensable part of a visit to Florence are of course the Uffizi Gallery, in which paintings by Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci or Caraveggio are exhibited. It is advisable to come early in the morning, as it is quieter then. During a subsequent walk through the city, the old palaces can be admired.

The quieter Lucca

After lively Florence, Lucca is quiet and tranquil. The small town on the edge of the Garfagnana offers visitors a medieval flair with city walls, museums and beautiful palaces, such as the Palazzo Pfanner, which now houses a clothing museum. From here you can either Hikes through the typical olive groves of Tuscany or you can go to the last foothills of the Garfagnana to experience this side of Tuscany. One attraction is the Grotta del Vento stalactite cave.

Apuan Riviera

On adventurous mountain roads, the journey takes you past the impressive marble quarries of Carrara down to the sea. Especially when vacationing with children in Tuscany, a bathing finish is just the right thing. On the long beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Lido dei Camaiore and Viareggio everyone will find the right place. This way the tour in Tuscany can end in a relaxed way.
