Leisure Activities

Pisa

Pisa is probably the most well-known city in the region. Apart from the world famous leaning tower, there are a fantastic collection of other buildings including the beautiful cathedral and the magnificent baptistery. Enjoy a lovely walk along the Arno River passing the Clock Palace.

Wine Tasting

Some of the best Italian wines originate in the Tuscan area, and what better way to sample them than on a wine tasting tour. There are plenty of options available and each winery will not only serve you a delicious glass of their local wine, but also explain the history of the grape and the best food to complement your choice of wine.

Florence

Capital of the Tuscany region, Florence is the home to many masterpieces of art and architecture. The Duomo Cathedral stands tall with its Renaissance dome towering over the city. Another world famous land-mark is the Ponte Vecchio which is a Medieval stone bridge spanning the Arno River and features a walkway lined with jewellery shops.

More About Tuscany

Tuscany’s rolling landscape is punctuated with castles, old farmhouses, villas, miles of olive groves and, of course, vast vineyards. This is an ever-popular destination with wine buffs as there are plenty of opportunities for wine tasting at the many beautiful wineries in the region. However, Tuscany has more to offer than ‘just' wine...there’s also the beautiful coastal town of Viareggio where soft sands and shallow waters await. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing holiday where you can chill out. This medieval fishing village has developed into a charming seaside resort and it's home to one of the most popular carnivals in Europe - the Carnevale di Viareggio. Some of the most famous cities in the world are also situated in this area including Florence and Pisa. Pisa is home to the infamous leaning tower plus much more including the Duomo di Pisa and Piazza dei Miracoli. Florence boasts a wealth of galleries, architectural wonders and fine museums including the Gallerie Degli Uffizi, arguably one of the greatest museums in the world, where you can see magnificent works of art from masters such as Michelangelo, da Vinci and Botticelli. Moving onto food and drink, the appetising seasonal produce and fresh ingredients throughout Tuscany make the Italian dishes shine and reflect the wonderful atmosphere of a beautiful country. You can find anything from rustic home-style local eateries to Michelin-starred restaurants in this region. Plus you'll be spoilt for choice when selecting a wine to complement your fine fare.
