We're heading to Tuscany for a week in July, with flights booked in and out of Pisa. I'm super excited! Besides the beautiful landscapes and amazing food, I’m curious about where we should go from there. Should we take day trips to nearby cities like Florence or Siena, or are there hidden gems in the countryside that we shouldn’t miss? Any recommendations on must-see spots and local experiences would be great!
Tuscany is a treasure trove of experiences! Since you're flying into Pisa, start with a quick visit to the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli. Then, consider day trips to Florence for its art and history, and Siena for its medieval charm. For hidden gems, explore the Val d'Orcia region—its rolling hills and quaint villages like Pienza and Montalcino are breathtaking. Don’t miss a wine tour in Chianti for a true taste of Tuscany. Have you thought about renting a car for more flexibility in exploring the countryside?
