Places worth your time
What to see in Tuscany
A focused selection for a well-paced first visit. We refine the order and timing around your interests.
Siena
Siena is one of the strongest anchors for a first visit, best approached with time rather than as a quick stop.
Val d’Orcia
At Val d’Orcia, careful timing gives the setting more space and makes the wider story easier to understand.
San Gimignano
San Gimignano adds a contrasting perspective and helps connect the guide’s history, landscape and daily life.
Chianti
Include Chianti when it supports the route; its value comes from context, not simply from seeing another landmark.
