Experience the real "dolce vita" of Tuscany  

Tuscany is probably the most popular region in Italy with the most beautiful capital - Florence. Tuscany is where the Italian Renaissance started and it has been home to some of the most distinguished people in European history and art - Michelangelo, Botticelli, Dante, Machiavelli, da Vinci, Puccini, Vespucci and so on.

Tuscany - the land of art with its thousand-year history and unforgettable landscape. Among vineyards and olive groves little villages, beautiful villas and marvelous castles are scattered. Most of the cities here are located on the hills but behind high walls in the shadows of cypress trees. Tuscany is said to be a magical land, blessed with the genius of nature and mankind. Just imagine a place, where lines of vines, surrounded by the dark cypresses and gritty paths take you to lovely castles made from red stones. It is easy to see that every piece of these lands were created not only to bear fruit, but also to be beautiful. Tuscany will enchant you with the aroma of wine, the incredible architecture and the intriguing beauty that you truly find everywhere.

From the majestic Florence to the little towns, Tuscany has a special allure that captures you and gives you the feeling you belong in these magical lands. Once you set foot on this Italian region, you will know you have to go back again and again. The historical center of Florence is a true travel back to the time of the Renaissance from the gallery Ufizi to the house of Dante and the beautiful Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral at its square. Don't miss the chance to stare from one of the bridges or from the Giardino Bardini, which is little-known park that offers breathtaking views.

Another pearl in the crown of Tuscany is Siena. Narrow green hills will take you to the city that has preserved its medieval image, including the city wall. Almost all the buildings in Siena are made from stone of a specific beige-red colour called "siena".

You can't miss Pisa whose architecture is a rival of the glamorous Florence and Genoa. The world-famous Tower of Pisa is not the only interesting site in the city; just take a walk around and you will find many arches and beautiful buildings.

To feel the real Tuscany with its tranquility, peace and beauty, go to a small city like San Vincenzo, Campilia Martima or San Gimignano. Take a deep breath and feel the Mediterranean breeze, have some wine and relax. Live as Italians do it - make every moment worth it.

Tuscany is heaven for photographers, those interested in culture, art and history, connoisseurs of good wine and good food and for those who appreciate the sweet taste of life!
