The nature of Tuscany: diverse and impressive

Hills, mountains and natural areas

The Tuscan landscape is constantly changing. In the north you’ll find the rugged peaks of the Alpi Apuane with their marble quarries, while nature reserves such as Orecchiella are ideal for hiking and outdoor activities.

Further south you’ll discover the Crete Senesi and Val d’Orcia: iconic rolling hills with clay soil, wheat fields and picturesque villages. This is the Tuscany you know from postcards and films.

Tuscan coast & islands

Along the west coast lies the Etruscan Coast, with wide sandy beaches, pine forests and crystal-clear waters. Parco della Maremma is a protected nature reserve featuring unspoilt beaches and walking trails through dunes and wetlands.
The island of Elba, easily reached by ferry, is also part of Tuscany. With its azure-blue sea, snorkelling spots and beautiful beaches, Elba is a paradise for lovers of sea and nature.

Tuscany as a wine and olive oil region

Tuscany is world-famous for its wines. Regions such as Chianti, Montepulciano and Montalcino produce high-quality wines that pair perfectly with Tuscan cuisine. Tuscany is also known for its mild, fruity olive oil, an essential ingredient in almost every local dish.

Vineyards, olive groves and country estates together create the characteristic Tuscan landscape.

Art, culture and history around every corner

Tuscany feels like one vast open-air museum. Almost every village has a historic centre, an art-filled church and lively squares where daily life unfolds. The region played a key role in the Renaissance and is home to some of the world’s greatest artistic treasures.

Cities and places you should not miss in Tuscany

Florence (Firenze)

Florence is the cultural heart of Tuscany and is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. The city breathes history, art and elegance. Its absolute centrepiece is the Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, with its impressive dome dominating the skyline. Those who climb to the top are rewarded with breathtaking views over the city. Stroll across the iconic Ponte Vecchio, famous for the jewellery shops that have lined the bridge for centuries. Art lovers can indulge themselves in museums such as the Uffizi, where masterpieces by Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci can be admired.

Florence is also a lively city with atmospheric squares, cosy terraces and excellent restaurants – perfect for a cultural day trip filled with shopping and Tuscan gastronomy.

Near Florence you will find the Gustocamp campsite hu Norcenni Girasole Village.

Siena

Siena feels like a journey back in time. Its historic centre, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has remained largely intact. The famous Piazza del Campo, with its unique shell shape, forms the beating heart of the city. Twice a year, the spectacular Palio di Siena takes place here – a traditional horse race between the city’s districts. The Cathedral of Siena (Duomo) is one of the most beautiful churches in Italy, featuring a richly decorated façade and an impressive interior of marble, mosaics and artworks. Wander through narrow streets, discover hidden squares and enjoy panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside.

Siena may be less grand than Florence, but it is at least as atmospheric and authentic.

Lucca

Lucca is an elegant and tranquil city, famous for its completely intact city walls that surround the historic centre. These walls have been transformed into a green park, ideal for walking or cycling while enjoying views over the city and surrounding hills. Inside the walls you’ll find charming streets, small boutiques and picturesque squares such as Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, built on the remains of a Roman amphitheatre. Lucca feels intimate and relaxed and is perfect for those wishing to escape the bustle of larger cities.

The city is also popular with music lovers, as composer Giacomo Puccini was born here and his legacy is still visible.

Pisa

Pisa is world-famous for its Leaning Tower, but the city offers much more than this iconic landmark alone. On Piazza dei Miracoli you’ll find, alongside the tower, the cathedral and baptistery, forming an impressive architectural ensemble. The historic centre of Pisa is lively, thanks in part to its large student population. Along the Arno River you can enjoy a leisurely walk, while the smaller streets reveal local shops, cafés and traditional trattorias. Pisa is compact, easy to combine with other cities and ideal for a relaxed day trip.
Here you’ll also find the Gustocamp campsite hu Montescudaio Village.

San Gimignano

San Gimignano is one of Tuscany’s most recognisable villages thanks to its medieval towers. Once more than 70 stood here; today, 13 remain. These towers give the town its distinctive skyline and create a fairy-tale atmosphere. The car-free centre invites you to wander through narrow alleyways, past artisan shops and charming squares. From several vantage points you’ll enjoy stunning views over surrounding vineyards and rolling hills. San Gimignano is compact, highly photogenic and perfect to combine with a visit to the Tuscan countryside.

Livorno & coastal towns

Livorno is a port city with a character all its own. The Venezia Nuova district is built around navigable canals and has a distinctly Venetian feel, with colourful houses, bridges and seafood restaurants serving fresh fish.

Along the Tuscan coast you’ll also find several seaside resorts ideal for a beach day:
San Vincenzo: lively and family-friendly, with a Blue Flag beach. Here you’ll find the Gustocamp campsite hu Park Albatros Village.
Vada: known for its strikingly light, almost white sandy beaches
Marina di Bibbona: peaceful, surrounded by pine forests and ideal for nature and beach lovers

The combination of sea, nature and Tuscan charm makes this coastal area especially popular during the summer months.
