Located on the eastern shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tuscany is synonymous with amazing food, great wine and lush rolling landscapes—a combination that proves intoxicating for all who visit. Surely a product of its environment, Tuscany gave birth to the Renaissance and many of the artists whose work inspired it.

Florence, Pisa, Prato and Siena are among the region's largest cities, and collectively house some of its most prized art and historic relics. Medieval towns, entirely comprised of period architecture, are spread throughout the area, still bearing the marks of yesteryear in the form of castles and towers. Central Tuscany supports a thriving agricultural industry and is responsible for its world-renowned reputation in wine and olive oil production, as well as a growing trend in agri-tourism, where visitors trade in their camera for a hoe in search of a true Tuscan experience.
