Along the via Francigena Route is located the beautiful medieval town of San Quirico, in the heart of the unique landscape of Val D’Orcia Natural Park. Beside walking around the historic center, l would recommend you two stops not to be missed: 📍📷 the Collegiate Church of Saints Quirico and Giuditta, example of the Romanesque architecture 📍📷 Horti Leonini, which is another highlight of San Quirico, it’s a beautiful example of Italian renaissance style garden, you’ll find the entrance of the Horti Leonini proceeding to the main square.

It's a gem in a breathtaking landscape, in the heart or Val d'Orcia natural park. The main road will lead you towards the center where instead of an usual main square, you'll have a large pool, the iconic rectangular tub source of natural thermal water, called Piazza delle Sorgenti (Springs' Square). And just below the tiny center you'll be able to reach Parco dei Mulini, built in the 12th century, still actively feeding the numerous spa facilities surrounding the town and where you can freely treat yourself in the bath dug. #thermalbath #tuscany #hotspringsvisit #italybeauties #oldarchitecture #valdorcia #tripinspired#scenicspotphotoguide#oldarchitecture#historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractions

Getting There - If you’re already in Italy, the best ways is to take a high speed train. From abroad, you can take a flight, if not directly to Florence, Bologna is the best option (only 30min away by train) Attractions - There’s lots to visit, not only the Uffizi. Reserve your tickets online and check if they are open ahead. Hotels - I would advise to stay in an apartment. It’s cheaper to eat out and you can choose between lots of options. the food is great in the city Food & Restaurants - Check the reviews online, they will tell you if you need to reserve a table or you can just walk in. Shopping - Lots of shops. Don’t fall for the tourists traps and avoid big brands. #summervacationtravel#scenicspotphotoguide#europeanarchitecture#historicculture#museumquest#culturalattractions

Spent the past two days exploring the region of Tuscany and literally felt in love with it ! From its incredible landscapes made of wide hills and cypress trees to its historical cities with beautiful architecture, this is definitely a place to visit when in Italy ! Thanks to @airbnb, I was lucky enough to stay in a farmhouse (shot n°3) close to the main photography spots, nice accommodations and very helpful owners ! BTW, do you prefer landscapes or cityscapes ? #sponsored #airbnb #tuscany #italy #zoo#nationalpark

Cradle of the Renaissance, romantic, enchanting and utterly irresistible, Florence (Firenze) is a place to feast on world-class art and gourmet Tuscan cuisine. Few cities are so compact in size or so packed with extraordinary art and architecture masterpieces at every turn. The urban fabric of this small city, on the banks of the Arno river in northeastern Tuscany, has hardly changed since the Renaissance and its narrow cobbled streets are a cinematic feast of elegant 15th- and 16th-century palazzi (palaces), medieval candle-lit chapels, fresco-decorated churches, marble basilicas and world-class art museums brimming with paintings and sculptures by Botticcelli, Michelangelo et al. Unsurprisingly, the entire city centre is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Italy's fashion industry was born and bred here. Homegrown designers Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened haute-couture boutiques in Florence in the 1920s and shopping in the Tuscan capital has been stylish ever since. A-lister fashion houses lace Via de' Tornabuoni and a Pandora's box of specialist boutiques selling all manner of beautiful objects parade alongside family-run botteghe (workshops) in a glorious tangle of medieval backstreets. Watch fourth-generation Florentine goldsmiths and shoemakers at work, buy artisan scents evocative of the Florentine countryside and Tuscan sea breeze, and know the tag 'Fiorentina' is one of the finest international labels going. Quality produce sourced locally, seasonally and sustainably is the holy trinity and Florentines share an enormous pride in their culinary tradition. Their city, surrounded by wine-rich hills, is a gourmet paradise where eating and drinking exceedingly well is mandatory. Be it a traditional bowl of earthy ribollita (bean, bread and veg soup), a tripe panino at a family-run food truck or a blue T-bone steak served in a market trattoria unchanged since 1915, dining in Florence is timeless and memorable. Raw cuisine, fish bistros, craft cocktails and the dazzling creativity of modern young Tuscan chefs add contemporary edge. #themepark#zoo#lakes

Siena is one of the most famous Italian cities and a place every tourist aims to visit during a trip to Tuscany. It is famous for its Palio that takes place twice a year, and for its characteristic narrow streets flanked by brick buildings. The historic city is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO and is filled with beautiful and interesting places to visit. But what are the things you shouldn't miss, on any account? This post will help you by highlighting a selection of monuments, churches and buildings, and providing useful tips. Siena is my favorite place to revel in medieval Italy. The town is an architectural time warp, where pedestrians rule and the present feels like the past. #siena #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #city #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityvacation #tripinspired #easylife#europeanarchitecture#ancientarchitecture

The construction of this famous medieval structure began in 1173 and took more than 200 years. It's one of four buildings in the ceremonial complex of Piazza dei Miracoli or Square of Miracles. You can climb to the top of the bell tower, then visit historic Pisa Cathedral and the Baptistery. Afterward, join hundreds of tourists posing at all angles to capture a photo holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. #themeparks#nationalpark

Tuscany is famous for its sumptuous landscapes, classified among the most beautiful landscapes in Europe but also for the beautiful city of Florence and Siena.
