Visiting Tuscany - Attractions and Tourist Spots

Revered for its natural beauty, world- class wines, incredible history, dedication to arts and heritage, and a general sense of all things romantic, the central region of Italy known as Tuscany is a popular destination. And rightly so – there is no shortage of inspiring places to visit that will please every one of the senses.

Tuscany, or the Regione Toscana, as it’s better known, is made up of ten provinces with a population of more than three and a half million people. The landscape is varied, including everything from mountainous regions and the rugged shorelines of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the neatly kept fields and vineyards that are the foundation of Tuscany’s famous wines. History buffs will love the fascinating city of Florence, the capital city of the Tuscany region, where the past mingles smoothly with the modern present. The art and architecture found in Florence are truly stunning, and the historic centre of the city has been designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
