Tuscany: travel guides

Camping in Tuscany, between art, nature and enogastronomy
Tuscany and its marvels

Tuscany is one of Italy’s most renowned and loved regions, appreciated by tourists from all across the world for cities of art such as Florence, Pisa and Siena. With its many monuments, museums and beautiful old towns, Tuscany is also an ideal destination for anyone looking to enjoy its enogastronomy or a holiday on the beach, as it is a land of superb wines with areas of great natural beauty, such as Tuscany’s Maremma. Being so popular with tourists, the camping sites and holiday villages in Tuscany are the ideal solution to fully enjoy the beauty of its territory, without spending a fortune on accommodation.

Tuscany and the cities of art

Florence is no doubt the most famous town in Tuscany and arguably one of the most beautiful cities of art in Italy, and in the world, together with Rome and Venice. Visitors will find a wide choice of camping sites and holiday villages in the area around Florence, many not far from the city’s historic centre or on the surrounding hills, ideal also for those looking to relax in a natural environment. Apart from Florence, with its monuments and museums, a holiday in Tuscany to discover Italian art must include a visit to the leaning Tower of Pisa, Piazza del Campo in Siena (where the famous Palio di Siena horse race takes place), Lucca and Arezzo or one of the small old towns such as Volterra and San Gimignano. Visiting a city of art can also be an occasion to visit places with great enogastronomic traditions, such as the gentle hills of Chianti, Tuscany’s famous wine region, not far from Florence.

Holidays on the beach in Tuscany

Tuscany is not just about art, but also the perfect beach holiday destination. The coastal area of Tuscany’s Maremma, for example, is perfect for anyone looking for beaches surrounded by Mediterranean maquis, an unspoilt landscape with crystal clear waters. The Argentario area, the province of Livorno and the beaches on Elba island and the other islands of the Tuscan archipelago, are among the most popular.
