Tuscany is probably the most famous region in Italy. The characteristic hills and cypress alleys have already been layed out and cultivated by the Etruscans and Romans. The special zest of Tuscan landscape, however, is it's versatility. The Apennine Mountains, overgrown with chestnut trees, make up an interesting contrast to the gentle rolling hills between Florence and Sienna that are typical for Tuscany. The numerous small, partly Etruscan villages that are enthroned on the hilltops, are quite impressive. The travel season lasts the whole year, and each season has it's own special colours and atmosphere. Visitors interested in culture will find many art treasures in cities like Florence, Pisa or Sienna, which have made Tuscany one of the most famous cultural centres in the world. And finally, thinking of the delicious Tuscan cuisine and the world-known wines, the only question is when to go on the next journey to Tuscany.
