Tuscany - Italy's diverse cultural and natural landscape


Travelogue
On the way south we stop in the Allgäu. Here in Füssen we are already soaking up the sun before we continue to Austria tomorrow. Our parking space is located directly at the glider airfield.

Finally accepted after a long drive over Fernpass and Brenner, with a lot of traffic jams around Lake Garda. First drink at the Bulli? enjoyed and then counted the stars over the lake.

The first destination on the way to Tuscany is the town of Pontremoli, which is well worth seeing and which definitely wants to be discovered on foot.

Very relaxing stay in Viareggio, Tuscany. The times of the bathing beaches (ital. bagno) do not seem to want to end here. We stroll through the alleys and along the beach promenade to the marina with its Bianetti shipyard and its super yachts.

After leaving Viareggio in a southerly direction, we drove near the coast past Pisa and Livorno to Bolgheri. Along an approximately 5 km long cypress avenue you drive towards the medieval city wall. We ate excellent regional dishes (including tagliatelle al tartufo fresco) and strolled through this picturesque village. We left this town via the Etruscan wine and coast road (Strada del vino costa degli etruschi).

We reach the destination of Volterra after a very varied journey along the Etruscan wine and coast road (Strada del vino costa degli etruschi). We are just below the Medici Castle. The more than 100 steps are quickly climbed. We stroll through the streets and visited the old town around the Piazza dei Priori, which is well worth seeing and includes the oldest town hall in Tuscany.

San Gimignano is referred to in our travel guide as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages". This description speaks to us directly (got married in NYC) and we drive off. Despite the medieval architecture, the narrow and sometimes steep streets around the Piazza Duomo actually give us the feeling of being surrounded by high-rise buildings, as the towers tower conspicuously above the building height that is otherwise typical of this era. The world's best ice cream was of course also available here.

We end the evening with a spritz at Campo in Siena.
We also spend the next day here. The streets are decorated with the flag of the eagle (aquila). We drank Café Shakerato and Cappuccino at Il Bargello. At Manganelli we ate calzones with delicious local ingredients. A wedding party is celebrating next door. A long and beautiful day comes to an end

We pass by Buonconvento on our way through the Val d'Orcia and stop to visit this gem.

On our road trip today we drive through the Val d'Orcia with its numerous film sets and past well-known film locations. Ridley Scott shot the film Gladiator near Pienza, where the first scenes of the film began. From the city wall you have a very nice view of the valley. The many small streets with their numerous bistros and shops provide shade.

This is where Ridley Scott filmed the first scenes of the film "Gladiator". The waypoint is the field of view used for the Gladiator's Homecoming scenes early in the movie. The house is privately owned and not open to the public.

Up here in Montepulciano we enjoy cappuccino and caffe shakerato in Caffe Poliziano 1868 with a sunny view over the numerous hills of Tuscany, after we climbed the steep mountain and visited the Piazza Grande. Even Federico Fellini was inspired up here!

We spent the afternoon in Arezzo. In this rather large city you have to look for the typical Tuscan shops, bars and bistros, but you can still find them in the small streets. Otherwise, this city is an alternative to the small towns in Tuscany that we liked so much.

Time out in the largest city in Tuscany. We spend the next few days at the pool or in the Uffizi.
