Tuscany is Everyone's Favorite Region of Italy--But Tuscany isn't just Florence!
You are Here >Home > Europe Map > Italy Map > Tuscany Map
Tuscany, Italy's largest region, contains a population just short of 4 million. It's the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Art is everywhere; the landscapes are gorgeous (and diverse!) and the food and wine is superb.
Tourists flock to Tuscany's capital, Florence, and many of them also make it out to a few of Tuscany's six World Heritage sites, crowding into the historic center of San Gimignano on warm summer days or heading over to Pisa to take a gander at that leaning tower. A few manage to reserve tickets for the Palio di Siena. It takes a more seasoned traveler to find the two others: Pienza and the Val d'Orchia.
Tuscany is full of Treasures, from the marble quarries of Massa and Carrara to the wines regions of Chianti, Montepulciano and Montalcino to the Etruscan centers around Cortona and Pitigliano. Explore the region with our map.
