Tuscany

The Cradle of the Renaissance

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is the birthplace of the Renaissance, home to world-class museums like the Uffizi Gallery and architectural wonders like the Florence Cathedral. Tuscany’s rolling hills are dotted with medieval towns like Siena, Pisa, and San Gimignano, each with its own unique charm.
