THE TOP FIVE THINGS TO DO IN TUSCANY

By: Dakota Caudilla



No. 1: Visit medieval Siena

This is Italy's greatest medieval town. Walk through the narrow
maze of streets and alleyways at the Piazza del Campo. 

No. 2: See the leaning tower of Pisa 

This is the famous leaning tower or Campanile, which means bell
tower. It really is leaning!

No. 3: Enjoy scenic Cortona 

Founded by the Etruscans, Cortona was populated as far back as
the 7th century BC. The Etruscans were a curious people; they
just loved to live on hills. Cortona is on of the oldest hill
towns.

No. 4: Explore the city of Lucca 

Built on top of a Roman colony, the city of Lucca dates back to
180 BC. Visit the Roman amphitheatre and discover the many
churches and piazzas and other medieval buildings. 

No. 5: Taste wine in Chianti

Tuscany produces world-famous wines, its most popular being
Chianti. Travel to the Chianti region for a sojourn of
bacchanalian proportions. If you still want more wine then try
the rich red wines of the Montalcino vineyards and the Vino
Nobile from Montepulciano. Montepulciano is the highest
hill-town of the region, so take time to enjoy the views of
Southern Tuscany from these heights.
