Tuscany · 323 best places in Tuscany
Our best guide to Tuscany on one travel map: every place we recommend to see, eat, drink, shop and stay. Filter by what you want to do.
By Amit KerenLooking for the best Tuscany travel guide on a map? This map puts every place we recommend in Tuscany in one place: Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca, the hill towns of the Val d'Orcia, thermal springs like Saturnia, Chianti and Brunello wineries, and countryside hotels.
Use the filter beside the map to show only what you need: sights, museums, experiences, nature, restaurants, wineries, shopping or hotels. You can also search for a spot by name. Tap any spot to open it in Google Maps.
Tuscany is big, and most of the countryside spots need a car. Pick one area per day, such as Chianti, the Val d'Orcia or the coast, and filter the map to what is close by.
