With a friend, having a beer or vino in one of the many outdoor cafes that ring the main Piazza called Il Campo.

Mercato Centrale street market.

Palazzo Piti -residence of the Medici family, influential family.
Piazza della Signoria with its magnificent sculptures including a copy of David.

The leaning tower of Pizza was built on a sandy bog some 900 years ago and began leaning even before it was finished.

Engineers have been seeking to stabilize it ever since and have now deemed it safe.


Livorno is a good place to catch the boat that visits each of the 5 towns that make up the Cinque Terre which can also be visited by train, car and on foot.

Monterosso has a nice beach and nice places for lunch.

Cinque Terre: 5 tiny towns perched literally on the edge of a cliff and easy to walk around.


Montepulciano and San Gimignano are both Classic Tuscan Hill towns that are rich in Renaissance buildings and art, particularly San Gimignano with it’s towers built as protection by rich families in the Middle Ages. 

Medieval Town; San Gimignano, Tuscany

Montepulciano … famous for its Vino Nobile wines and tends to be a little less ‘touristy’.

Beautiful summer scenery with rural curved road in the grain fields.

View over Montepulciano town in Tuscany
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of several classic Tuscan red wines based on the Sangiovese grape variety. It comes from the vineyards that surround Montepulciano, a picturesque hill town 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of Siena, southeastern Tuscany. The area is made up of slopes reaching 250 to 600 meters (820-1968ft) in altitude, located between two rivers: the Ocria and the Chiana. (source: wine-searcher)
