Tuscany

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.

Florence

Explore the heart of the Renaissance with walks through historic piazzas, iconic churches, artisan neighborhoods, and riverside gardens. Each route offers a mix of art, architecture, and local life.

Pisa

Discover more than just the Leaning Tower with a walk through Pisa’s medieval center, riverside paths, and university district. A compact route with big visual impact.

Siena

Walk through one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval cities, from the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo to fresco-filled churches and quiet backstreets. A rich blend of history and atmosphere.

San Gimignano

Stroll through a hilltop town known for its medieval towers, panoramic views, and award-winning gelato. A short but scenic walk packed with character.

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.
