Tuscany is located in central Italy and stretches from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The landscape, the artistic heritage and the outstanding cities – especially Florence – make Tuscany an undisputed protagonist of international tourism. In this region, nature has many different facets, starting with the coast, which alternates long and sandy beaches, such as the Versilia beach, with rocky cliffs and steep headlands. The islands of the Tuscan archipelago, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, crystal clear sea and rich seabed, are unique. You can admire unspoilt landscapes in the Apuan Alps and in several protected areas such as the lagoon of Orbetello, which is home to many species of migratory birds, including egrets. However, the most typical landscapes of the region are those that combine the beauty of nature with the millennial work of man. The amazing Gulf of Baratti and the sites of Vetulonia, Vulci and Pitigliano guard necropolises and remains of the Etruscan civilisation, while Roselle and Cosa evoke memories of Roman times. Medieval villages, historic towns, castles and defences, country churches (called pievi) and beautiful abbeys like that of Sant’ Antimo are scattered throughout the territory and their profiles stand out in the landscapes of the Crete Senesi , Orcia Valley, Garfagnana, Chianti and the Maremma. Finally, Tuscany is full of spas: Montecatini, Saturnia, Montepulciano, Monsummano and Bagno Vignoni, which offer a relaxing holiday thanks to their thermal waters and well-equipped facilities for all types of treatments. The provinces of the region are: Florence (regional capital), Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa Carrara, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.
