5 Reasons why you should visit Tuscany during Spring

What Makes Tuscany Such a Special Place in the Springtime?

Reason 1 - Tuscan nature at its best: The breathtaking Views from the hills,
Tuscan golden beaches, thermal springs, and natural parks

The rolling hills of Tuscany in the springtime are a sight to behold. With its lush vineyards, towering cypress trees, and colorful wildflowers, the Tuscan countryside is a paradise for nature lovers. From the Maremma Hills to the Chianti region, there are breathtaking views and landscapes to explore.

Golden beaches – Though Tuscany is most known for its famous hills, this region has much more to offer, including its golden beaches. If you have never tried the experience of going to the beach in spring, then you should try it in Tuscany. Sunny spring days with a pleasant breeze and the smell of the sea scent are simply the best.

Cascate di Saturnia – However, suppose the days of your stay are still slightly too cold for the sea. In that case, head to the stunning Cascate di Saturnia: a magical place just waiting to be discovered, famous for its thermal waters, limestone pools, and landscape. The waterfalls originate from a natural source of sulfurous water at a temperature of 37.5°C.

Natural Park Maremmana – For those who prefer long walks, a visit to the Natural Park Maremmana is a must. You can also cross some parts of the Park by bike, horse, carriage, or canoe.

The Tarot Garden – Lastly, for nature and art lovers, we recommend the Tarot Garden, which will be open from April 1st.

Reason 2 - Enjoy Delicious Food and Wine in Small Villages Throughout Tuscany and Discover the Italian 'sagre'

What is a sagra  Each sagra is more or less extensive, but it must include a place to eat at communal tables and a space where the organizers prepare the food. Most also provide a ballroom dance floor, usually packed with older couples and kids. Some have an amusement park (so-called ‘giostre’) for the younger generations. It is challenging to generalize, though: each sagra has its peculiarity, which is why it is always a surprise. If you are looking for a local experience, then attending a sagra is undoubtedly one of them.

Tip We highly recommend going with an Italian speaker or keeping your automatic translator with you.

Reason 3 - Have a Unique Experience at Some of the Most Beautiful Art Towns in Europe

Europe is home to some of the world’s most beautiful cities. From the cobbled streets of Siena and Florence in Italy to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, there are endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Siena is known for its stunning medieval architecture and vibrant culture. Its main attractions include Piazza del Campo, the city’s main square, and Duomo di Siena, a stunning cathedral. It’s also home to some of the best restaurants in Italy!

Florence is among Italy’s most charming cities. Awarded fourth best city in the world in 2022 by Travel and Leisure, Florence is home to some of the greatest works of art ever created, including Brunelleschi’s dome on top of Florence Cathedral and Michelangelo’s David sculpture. With its rich history and incredible beauty, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience. Check out what are the best things to do in Florence.

Pisa is also a must-see destination if you’re in the area. The Leaning Tower of Pisa and its Square of Miracles are two of the most iconic sites in Italy. With only half a day to visit, you can have a unique experience.
If you’ll go for a longer journey through Tuscany, explore the vineyards of Antinori, Ribolla, and Montemassi. Then, spend a day in one of the many small medieval towns that dot this beautiful region.

And if you still have time left, check out other beautiful places to visit in Tuscany!
