Toscana, Italy Summary
An Italian region on the west coast, Tuscany is visited by millions each year who make their trip to beautiful Florence, and Pisa, home of the world famous Leaning Tower. Though including some of Italy’s most popular cities and renowned buildings, many parts of Tuscany offer a wealth of natural beauty and outdoor activities for an escape from the hectic city environment of its urban areas. The Montecatini Terme, for example, is a quaint little town built around its springs, which are said to help people with ailments. Walkers can discover the area’s number of mountain paths, while cyclists can enjoy its many rolling hills. Tuscany’s combination of fine art and architecture and breathtaking landscapes makes it the preferred destination of many.

great wine
Try a tour of the vineyards. You'll be drinking the best wine in all of Italy, for just a few euros.

for food
Nice place to relax in after sightseeing in Florence. You can walk bout the little town of Impruneta and find some great restaurants (or, like we did, go to the Coop, buy anything you need, and prepare it at Relais Villa L´Omo, the wonderful villa we stayed in)

duomo and piazzale- 2 musts
Agree with lylybud, you should definitely see the Duomo (Cathedral). It’s very impressive. Also go to Piazzele Michelangiolo for the most beautiful panoramic view of Florence.

nice place to stay
Besides visiting the city, you can relax out in the valley. A stay at Agritruismo Podere la Casellina is very promising.

landmark
There are plenty of basilicas to explore, and of course the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence’s most famous landmark.
