Famous for its art and architecture, this magnificent city is also great for a first-time traveler to Italy as it will give you a well-rounded experience offering wonderful food, spectacular art, architecture, and interesting history. Explore the beautiful city center or venture further into the countryside and witness the marvelous rolling hills of Tuscany studded with charming medieval villages. Beautiful views and a charming culture await you in Tuscany.

The most famous area to explore is the Chianti region, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must-see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda, and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa.
