Tuscany
A journey for all the senses
A holiday in Tuscany is more than just a trip - it is an immersion in the heart of Italy. The region delights with its rolling hills, historic towns, excellent wines and traditional cuisine. From the Renaissance splendour of Florence to the golden fields of the Val d'Orcia and the clear coastline around Elba - every corner of Tuscany tells its own story. Between medieval villages, cypress avenues and endless vineyards, an atmosphere unfolds that invites you to discover and slow down in equal measure. Culture, nature and culinary delights merge here to create an unforgettable overall experience.
Whether you are planning a round trip, discovering the most beautiful sights or simply want to relax: The diversity of Tuscany offers something to suit every style of traveller. The region is also particularly charming when travelling by train - sustainable, comfortable and full of scenic impressions. Those who have experienced Tuscany once often return a second time - perhaps a little slower this time, but with even greater anticipation.
