Cathedrals, Canvases, and Countryside
Tuscany is a region that invites you to slow down, look up, and wander with purpose. From the Renaissance splendor of Florence to the medieval charm of Siena, the leaning marvels of Pisa to the towered skyline of San Gimignano, each city offers its own rhythm, flavor, and story. These self-guided walks are designed to help you explore Tuscany on foot—through piazzas and palaces, quiet alleys and panoramic viewpoints—at a pace that lets you take it all in. Whether you’re here for the art, the architecture, the gelato, or just the joy of walking, Tuscany rewards every step.
Note. I have prepared this walk for our first trip to Venice at the end of September, 2025. I will update it once we complete the walk.
