The Best of Tuscany

Spend this day with the most attractive sights around Florence. A scenic drive across a Tuscan and Chianti countryside lets you visit towns of breathtaking beauty: Monteriggioni, a charming town enclosed by imposing walls; Siena, with paintbox-like houses; San Gimignano, a beautiful medieval hilltop village, and Pisa, of the famous leaning tower.  Wine-tasting is another highlight, so be sure to stop at a wine estate on the Sienese Hills.

What better way to discover the timeless streets and charming corners of the Renaissance City than by doing so on foot or on wheels?

Day 1
Walk or Glide

You have two options: walk or glide (using a segway). Either way, you’d find exploring Florence is nicest if you’re in a group. Follow this route: Central Market - workshops, colorful stalls, the Medicean Chapels, and Basilica of San Lorenzo; Piazza del Duomo – Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo); medieval quarters where Dante Alighieri and Beatrice lived; Palazzo del Bargello; Piazza della Signoria – open-air sculpture museum—and Palazzo Vecchio; Uffizi Gallery; Mercato della Paglia (Straw market); Ponte Vecchio; then Pitti Palace. Aren’t you thirsty from all that walking/gliding? Some exquisite wine-tasting is in order then—choose wine that represents the finest flavors of the Tuscan countryside.

Wine and Cheese Tasting in Florence

Where did people get the idea that Florence isn’t a great family destination? Its thrills are actually more memorable for kids than the topsy-turvy ones from roller-coasters and other carnival rides. It’s just a matter of choosing the right attractions. Let this day be a fun example. 

Day 1
Secrets & ice Cream

Explore the secret passages of Palazzo Vecchio, a Gothic fortress in which time seems to stand still. Inside the solid walls are lovely courtyards, massive staircases, and chambers decorated by incredible frescoes depicting scenes of battles. Follow this adventure with a treat: scoops of sinfully delicious ice cream with flavors found only in Florence.
