Tuscany is one of the most visited regions in Italy by international travellers who are drawn by the capital city of Florence, the lush surrounding countryside characterised by green rolling hills, luxurious villas and world renowned vinyards. Prominent Tuscan grapes include Chianti, Montepulciano, Brunello and Vernaccia just to name a few.

Florence is the centre of renaissance art and home to the original statue of David by Michelangelo among many other famous works of art. Tuscany is also known for artisan leather goods and a rich agricultural industry. Other places of interest include Pisa, Siena, Luca, the coastline and more. Tuscan cuisine is rich and hearty using local ingredients like game meats including wild boar as well as the more highly regarded Bistecca Fiorentina. Other specialties include legumes, truffles, chestnuts, and more.
