There are countless locations waiting to be discovered beyond the city, we recommend you being your tour of discovery with the Medieval town Fiesole. Renowned throughout the world as a summer destination for noble families and celebrities, Fiesole offers visitors unique panoramic views over the entire Florence area. The city is surrounded by countless Medieval towns and it is well worth stopping off to observe different nuances and lifestyles: Certaldo, Vinci (birth place of Leonardo Da Vinci) and Castelfalfi will steal your heart, in all their magnificent beauty.

A few kilometres away from Florence, past the gently rolling Chianti hills, immerse yourself in the picturesque and medieval atmosphere of the city of Siena, renowned for its palio which enthuses children and adults alike. It is well worth experiencing the atmosphere and joy in the city on occasion of the two editions of the Palio di Siena (July and August), when all locals rally around their own district identities.

If we continue north, towards the coast and the sea, past San Miniato, we can admire unique Tuscan landscapes.

The first city we come across is Pisa, an international icon for visitors of all cultures and origins. A city renowned for Piazza dei Miracoli and its extraordinary Leaning Tower, inclined 4 degrees, which continues to captivate tourists wishing to discover its history. Just half an hour away from Pisa, we come across the first maritime city: Livorno is one of Tuscany's most modern cities, rich in naval history. Terrazza Mascagni is a habitual meeting place for locals and offers some of the region's most breathtaking views.

If we continue north along the coastline we'll come across three of Tuscany's most famous and beautiful seaside destinations: Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore and Forte dei Marmi.

Famous tourist locations, renowned for their exclusive beaches frequented by celebrities, all three destinations are perfect for those wishing to combine an artistic and cultural visit to Florence with a brief excursion to this famous coastline, for a relaxing vacation.
