Folks! Hands down it has to be pienza as my favourite especially strolling around. But I will highlight Pisa outside of the central areas as the most “misunderstood” place on this list as it might surprise you if u delve deeper! 😎✌🏾
Thanks for that. Been to Toscana a few times and done most of these but a few in there we haven't yet been to so they can go on the list for the next visit, next month. We did get to Volterra and loved it, but it was a visit of a couple of hours and I didn't even realise there were Roman ruins.
We just returned from Florence but the highlight of our Italy stay was discovering Lucca. It's so easy to add to a Florence itinerary and special in so many way. Ciao.
We are planning to go in mid-August and spend 3-4 days in Tuscany. We will go to Venice then to Rimini, first. Which cities and in what order would you recommend? Should we book rooms in different cities? Please advise.
We traveled to Tuscany in October. Spent three weeks in Italy. The weather was mild, mostly dry and not crowded. Prices are better on the shoulder season too. I hear Much of Italy curtails open hours in August. Wishing you a fantastic trip.
In August? In Tuscany we have 34/35 degrees fahrenheit, especially in central Tuscany!!!! Are you really sure? Anyway have a good sweat and enjoy it!!! 👍😂😂😂
There is no place like Tuscany! I loved Siena at night and had the pleasure of being in Montepulciano for a wine tasting when there were very few people in the town. I don't think I would go back to Florence though.
Florence is sth you have to prepare for once you get past the crowds and asshole scammers - theres beauty around it - it’s just we get too frustrated before we reach it
These are wonderful and amazing places to visit. Unfortunately, the film footage from this video does not capture the astonishing beauty. This tour guide needs a better cinematographer and editor.
Documentario pieno di errori. Foto di Volterra indicate di San Gimignano, foto di Monteriggioni indicata come Montenegro, e altre ancora. Un piccolo disastro, congratulazioni!
Sei così gentile, si vede che fare il saccente e inutilmente aggressivo soddisfa il tuo ego, dispiace per te. È vero ci sono diversi errori nelle etichette ma il video è fatto bene e con buona qualità di immagini, si può tranquillamente segnalare gli errori senza essere ignoranti
Yes ! I so hope you would do San Giniminiano....all those towers were a phallic fight , ridiculously, by the wealthy men there in days gone by....the higher the tower, the more it symbolized the size of his phallus & his powerful status. (Or not). 🧯🧯🧯
It had nothing to do with a phallus. sorry to disappoint you! It was simply a sign of wealth! There are many such towers in others towns in the region: Bologna , for example....
Erano magazzini di mercanzie, più alti erano più il commerciante era ricco ed aveva scelta di mercanzia. Si costruiva in alto in quanto c'era poco spazio entro le mura difensive della città.
Loved Tuscany!! Stayed in Siena, day trip to San Gimignano , Montepulciano, Pienza, Val d’Orcia…Montalchino, Assisi, Lucca… so lovely and great wine and food
San Gimignano what a town! Should have scored in the top 5! Arezzo was also a surprise, this medieval town dates back to 4th century BC and has plethora of home made trattorias serving local cuisine! The buildings and squares are amazing walking through the old town is a must!
There is only one place in the world where everyday life is so completely reflected in the sublime, in a wonderful mix of nature and culture........it is Tuscany. Marie-Henri Beyle, Stendhal
I love Lucca, among many other towns in the area, last year we stayed two weeks in Poggibonsi and visited all around. Volterra and Gigmingune (sorry about my spelling) Florence is lovely and the Ufitsi museum especially. We drove around the Chianti region and of course bought some wine! I am totally sold on visiting Italy.
I've visited them all, and I think you were spot on in identifying them as gems. I honestly have a problem with picking my fav. Probably Volterra though, which i visited early in the morning, before tourists started pouring in. I would recommend doing that with each and every one of them.
When I went to Italy,our group started from Reggio Calabria. We went up the straight away and saw many wonders. Tuscany was a hidden jewel. I fell in love with San Gigmingnono.
Hi! I just discovered your channel ❤ and liked and subscibed! We will be at Livorno next year as it is one of our port of call. We only have 9 hours before our ship leaves. Am thinking of exploring on our own Livorno of course and Lucca as we had been to Pisa a few years ago. Will taking a bus to Lucca be easier or by train?
Yet another great Video Hal. I have always wanted to go to Italy and or even move there and find a nice affordable cottage. You have mentioned a lot of towns I have not heard of so I am excited to look more into these places and pray one day I can make it to see them in person.
Luego de visitar Siena, Florencia y Pisa, en un Tren vía a Pisa pude conversar con un señor llamado Lorenzo, quien me comentó que su tierra era la más hermosa del mundo, refiriéndose a Borgo Carpineto, donde se produce el vino Chianti. Sin duda son hermosas poblaciones de la bella Toscana!!!
I don't know how the video will continue (I'm writing after the intro) but just for not playing Tarantella in a Tuscany video you deserve an award (someone will be surprised but no one from Rome to the north plays this folk music, who is played only in southern Italy). Now I'll watch the video, I hope you won't disappoint me. 😀🍺
Consiglio un’altra città Toscana , poco conosciuta al turismo di massa e quindi più tranquilla e godibile anche per la sua arte. È Pistoia, città medievale con una bellissima piazza molto ben conservata. Ottimo punto per raggiungere Firenze, Lucca, Montecatini Terme e Pisa. Sarete vicini a Firenze e pernotterete a prezzi più bassi
Because the region is not that big, it is approximately the size of Vermont (US). The different towns have a lot of culture and history in common, nevertheless each town has its own character.
Radda should absolutely be on this list. It was our favorite town to visit in Tuscany. Siena was way to busy and overpriced. Be careful wherever you go in Italy as we found many Italians take advantage of American tourists. They would inflate prices when they think you cannot read signs.

Visited! Lovely
Tuscany ❤
nicely explained
Posto bellissimo

You made a great video. Can you tell me which font do you use for at the beggining of the video ''TUSCANY''
Hal, though a bit off topic, is there one town or towns which you think is bicycle friendly, to include region?
Amazing Video and Wonderfull location. Thank you for sharing
Could you please give coordinates for the Valdocha village?

Tuscany is wonderful. But one should not underestimate its neighbor … Umbria .
These are wonderful and amazing places to visit. Unfortunately, the film footage from this video does not capture the astonishing beauty. This tour guide needs a better cinematographer and editor.

This should be called 12 places near Siena,this is just central Tuscany,what about the rest of Tuscany.

I immediately was turned off by UNESCO Heritage Site. So sad.
The Chinese tourists makes the experience bad and annoying
Why? Because they also want to enjoy this region?

Bologna non è in Toscana
Italy and Tuscany are my future home!
Lived and got married in that area before mass tourism arrived. It was heaven!
People ruin everything.

Time freeze in Tuscany! Loved and missed. ☺

Thank You for sharing this amazing video😍😍
woow wow Italy looks beautiful, very nice video I loved it thank you very much👍🏻❤️❤️
Good upload- but let down by low definition picture
Great compilation, I have been to Florence and Pisa, need to go back and visit Luca or Volterra.
Volterra is pretty special
Great video!!
Wonderful! You’ve really hellped me out on choosing wich cities to visit. ❤
My pleasure

Bel giro della Toscana, ma...correggete i sottotitoli, perchè San Gimignano è a meno di un' ora di auto da Siena, e NON da Seattle ! 🤣 Ciao !
Nice tour in Italia ❤ interessante
Lots of picture of the sky and towers.
When I went to Italy,our group started from Reggio Calabria. We went up the straight away and saw many wonders. Tuscany was a hidden jewel. I fell in love with San Gigmingnono.
"Hidden" jewel?? Tuscany is renowed all over the world.

No Vinci? Crazy
See Rome is great place to visit however I actually have a huge appreciation for places like Tuscany and the vineyards and little villages
I love Tuscany, so beautiful ❤

Why they all look the same
Because the region is not that big, it is approximately the size of Vermont (US). The different towns have a lot of culture and history in common, nevertheless each town has its own character.
GREAT STUDYING. THANX
What about Arezzo.
The shots are remarkable. It would help however to use ultra high resolution camera. Just a thought.
That was cool. Thanks.
Looks great. I will rent a car, how is parking at villages?
Ci sono sempre Park x turisti.
Merlot wine, and green bottles of water on every table.
Thank you for your wonderful presentation!!! Loved it! Would like to have an idea on how many days it would take to explore these towns.
There is no place like 'Tuscany' but a place called Toscana! Grow up, learn to speak.
Radda should absolutely be on this list. It was our favorite town to visit in Tuscany. Siena was way to busy and overpriced. Be careful wherever you go in Italy as we found many Italians take advantage of American tourists. They would inflate prices when they think you cannot read signs.
I have noticed that yes - I think unfortunately you have to visit a country a few times to get a feel an handle all those types of situations
